I'm noticing a massive trend where products are sold with a brush or applicator, and while the product is great, the cheap addition makes it seem not as great. I got the mellow eyeliner in the valt and when I put it on yesterday it was too thick and smeary and came off my eyes easily. I switched the brush out for an eyeliner brush and....magic. Went on easily, stayed really black, winged out nicely and...13 hours later (95% of which was spent at work) ... is still there as good as it was this morning. Such a shame because I think some would give up on a product and not realise it was a simple tool change that was needed!
Have you encountered anything like this? For me the ZA Groovy Cheeks Blushes are the same and I think I recall jessickaxnz mentioning a lippy with a terrible applicator?

When products come with accessorise that are a fail...

Unfortunately I'm fussy and 9 times out of 10 the products that come with a tool gets the tool tossed into the bin, especially those sponge applicators they just a nightmare! The only products I have brought where the additional tool was awesome were Benefit Dallas and Naked 3, both of these come with excellent brushes that are perfect for what they are attended for.
Like the other ladies mentioned, I LOATHE those sponge applicators and they always go into the bin. I'm a bit spoiled as I love my Xoeva brushes but I do like it if a brush is included with a palette of gel liner, even if I won't use it. If I don't like the brush that comes with something I give it to my sister or a friend.
I can't really recall a lippy with a terrible applicator aside from the ELF dupes for the still glosses - or the benetint applicators, I just don't like the brush applicators as they always feel unhygienic to me - is that what you were thinking of Trudi? Sorry my memory is terrible!

I used to always apply my powder back in the day with those sponges and now I don't even bother using them at a all as I love my kabuki brush. I have kept little eyeshadow brushes that have come with certain products to use for my pigments or glitters as they are the perfect size. I have kept my little spolly and eyebrow brush that came with my NYX eyebrow kit. I do wish I kept those brushes that come with blushes and bronzes as they would be good for contouring. But oh well.
I too loathe the sponge applicators and chuck them at first open. I especially dislike the chichi pallette ones. I mean for such great shadow they should give a semi quality sponge applicator but nope it never matches up. By the way Jessicka congrats on the just over 1000 posts! I just had to mention cause I didn't notice before :D
