Have you ever purchased something that was "name brand" or expensive only to realize later that it was utter crap?

I bought an Urban Decay essentials kit and it came with their "cult favorite" Midnight Cowboy eyeshadow. It looked very pretty in the package. A kinda pink based neutral champagne/beige. Opened it up and tested it on my hand. GLITTER GALORE! Not shimmer. Not micro glitter. CONFETTI countable chunks of glitter.

And by itself, Urban Decay charges $16 dollars for it. Totally not worth it when you can get preteen glittery makeup for 99 cents.

Wow the same thing happened to me, except that the lid to the stuff wouldn't open easy. But when I did get it open it went everywhere. It looked like a god damn fairy came into my room and farted out glitter.

I was so pissed. lol
