What product/brand do you just not feel the hype for?

Let's list all the things I routinely say "fuck x product/brand" about

  • Fuck Urban Decay, I've yet to use anything by them that actually impressed me besides that one anniversary palette with the electric pink in it (that palette was fucking beautiful, my first eyeshadow palette and I still use it.) All of the products of theirs I've tried have been patchy or lacking in pigment besides the aforementioned shadows. I dunno if they changed formula after that because I remember swatching a friend's Naked palette a while later and finding all the shimmery shades to be weirdly "chunky" and the mattes to have poor pigment.

  • Fuck Urban Decay primer potion in particular, it doesn't work on me and people keep insisting I must be using it wrong. Naw bitch, products just work differently on different skin types. Your favourite primer being a shitty option for me doesn't make me bad at makeup. Fucking Debenhams ladies.

  • Fuck Illamasqua, it's overpriced, try-hard "LOOK HOW EDGY GAWF I AM" crap that's horrendous quality in cheap packaging.

  • Fuck Benefit for making everything 98.7% packaging with barely any product.

  • Fuck the endless neutral palettes, I want more red and pink and orange so I can look more like I've been crying/punched in the face/spent too long in the swimming pool than I usually look

  • Fuck the attempts to be edgy. Yeah for a while there bitches were all OMG THAT COLOUR IS CALLED ORGASM, but nobody cares now and it seems like a ton of the brands are shooting for "sexy" names when really, it's just a bit... embarrassing. Like those spam emails trying to get you to follow dubious links to porn sites in broken English type of embarrassing.

  • Fuck Western brands pretending shit's ~NEW TECHNOLOGY~ when Asian beauty brands have been doing it for years

Okay, I think that's most of my product/brand gripes.
