What high-end product do you feel you should have skipped instead of buying? Why?

Do you prefer wearing high-end makeup? Why/why not?

With makeup, it's an escape - it's pretty, fun, and drama-free (well, it's supposed to be!), so I like a product that impresses me on all fronts.  With more affordable brands, sometimes packaging or textures are a little less refined.  At the end...
