Have you used a beauty item once and tossed?

I  did this twice and recently this week with Kim Belle's eyeliner. I didn't have the smearing but there was nothing there within hours.  I even used an eyelid primer and setting powder. Some reviewers said they smeared. The colors were so nice and  I was disappointed. I am keeping the mascara.

 

The second product many years ago was Josie Maran's In Shower Tanning system. What a mess.

Don't you just hate expensive beauty lessons?

 

Should have been sent back - it was the Josie exfoliant powder. Terrible! I used it just once, then sent it to the back of my drawer. Finally tossed.

Yes, I've done that with the "natural" deodorants...to many to remember. Also with lipsticks that smear all over the place and eyeliners that were so dry & brittle, they would break during application!

I threw out two lipsticks because the color was misrepresented on the website. Gone are the days where I used to go to a store and swatch colors. Sigh...

I toss more sunscreen b/c of the white cast. I have a difficult time finding ones that won't make me look like a ghost.

Yes.  Mostly mascaras.  So many are clumpy and look awful.

Well I didn't actually toss it.  I had to send it back.  It was Tarte's TSV in September that was a deluxe concealor/foundation.  The color was too dark.   Other than that, I would have kept it.

All the Bare Minerals I bought years ago. A mess to work with and did not look good on me, so out it went.
