After I read good reviews of the Everyday Minerals Flat Top Brush, I decided to buy it online. Since I am going to pay a lot for the shipment anyways (since I am from the Philippines), I decided to buy other brushes for the EDM line. Aside from the Flat Top Brush, I bought the eyeshadow brush, eye kabuki and the long handled kabuki. Almost 3 weeks after, I finaly received my orders. However, the only product I did not regret buying is my EDM flat top brush...the rest gave me a lot of regrets. Not only did I spend so much for the shipment, it also took a lot of time to get here in the Philippines, only to find out that I don't want most of my orders. Just to give you guys a run down of the products: The eyeshadow brush is too stiff, does not hold a lot of pigments. I find it not helpful at all. The eye kabuki was soft alright, but it was too big for my Asian eyes!! Were am I supposed to use this? The long handled kabuki's bristles were just too long, it was hard for me to buff my mineral foundation or veil. I regret buying these stuff, and I don't want to shell out money just to return them...that's another waiting time, and money spent. Urgh!! How about you guys? What cosmetic products do you regret buying?

I was supposed to buy a brown eyeliner for my mom and I saw some black eyeliners in a box and the other box beside them had brown lip liners but they look the same so, I bought 1 and then when I arrived home I read the name and discovered that it was really a lip liner (LOL). So I went to another stall and bought a brown eyeliner and I checked the label before I bought it. haha

LOL! Atleast you get to laugh at it, despite getting the wrong item. Cheers!

The one that I most of the time regret to buy is makeup, powder, liquid and that creamy one. I just don't know how to chose my colore and there are so many optinos and brands. I have never tried to return any of them but I was told that they will not axept any open conteiner. So now I will combine the colores if possible until I get the right coverage and colore. :)
