Have you used a product and had it change your opinion about the brand? For good or for worse? What product?

Are there any beauty product types you only own one of? Like just one highlighter? Bronzer? Mascara?

I can't think of anything. I just imagine the product would be lonely and that I lack the capacity to have only committed to one item for a category. The best I could think of would be hair dye or...
