How much do you spend on MAC ?

[Pascal]

Do you spend like every penny on MAC or do you save money ? As for me savings is not an option since I love make up so much, I try not to end up broke but I spend almost 25% on bills, 15% on food and about 60% goes towards my MAC fund. I torture my dad every Friday, I say to him " Hi dad would you like to donate to my MAC fund to help me build up my collection?" He just looks at me and laugh, and I say " No seriously, it's a good investment".
:deal:

I used to blow $100+ at the counter or online each time, but then I moved, so my spending went waaaaaaaay down. I haven't bought MAC since Culturebloom.

[ramonesbrat]

I'm a SAHM and get $100 weekly for myself to spend however I want. Almost every single week I spend this online on MAC. The only time this money doesn't go 100% MAC is right before a holiday or one of my kids' birthdays. Right now I'm in desperate need of clothes and have to put it off because of all the freakin' collections coming out.

[tattooednglossy]

Since January alone I have spent over 2000 on MAC.
Most of this, however, has gone toward my kit since I've been doing a lot of freelance lately

There's a discussion here about how much we spend and what our collections are worth.

[ledonatella]

I usually spend about $150-$200 on a big collecction like Sundressing, and I don't always get the little collections, but if I do around $55-85 on those. Like I completely passed on Who's That Lady but I got all of Y & Kei.

[Renee]

If a new collection comes out , I will usually spend about $150 , depending on what I like. But I try not to go every month and get tempted. But of course that is hard to do!

[MizMac]

I think about 1/2 of each of my paycheck goes back to mac!! I'm to the point now where I just get the LE items. But I also love my ben nye goodeis, plus the ocassional drugstore haul.....I could sell my collection and buy a bmw. I told my hubby no way baby!!

[alysia]

right now I'm only buying the collections (because I'm home from school from the summer I only have a counter and I refuse to buy any-non LE eyeshadows in pot form.) so its about 150$ on something like sundressing, 40$ on Dejarose, 150$ on Culturebloom, 100$ on Sweetiecake (though I do regret buying so much)
but percentage wise its about 1/4th of my paycheck. But I need to get that undercontrol I still have to save for school.

[as_cute_as_pie]

hardly nothing lol i recently bought studio fix fluid cos my foundation wasnt working it and i hate it its awful. ill only buy something if i really need it since i have hardly no money lol
although once i get a job i have a list of stuff to buy

[holliedavis]

I spend about $150-$175 every other week... and that's after PPID discount. With the collection coming out right on top of one another, I have no choice! Then again, I rarely buy permanent items b/c I'm too busy spending all my dough on LE!

[XoXo]

Ive spent close to $4000 since February of this year...dont have a pro card

[hyperRealGurl]

I spend about 0$-260$ per month thats my limit then there are times when i dont buy anything for the whole month, This month i bought some stuff from the sundressing collection and spent around 170$something, but i did go to the mac counter the other day to buy "babied" 17$ and some change after tax and "THATs ALL I BOUGHT " just that 1 item. I guess it depends on the collection that comes out. & if u like the colors enough to buy the whole collection, When it boils down to it i dont think there is a set amount people spend on MAC or cosmetics in general per month -per day-per year.... All i know is that going to the MAC counter or Ordering online is Addictive like drugs or something "ahhh its like u cant never get enough: "sigh"

[giz2000]

Not much anymore...when I was at counter, I would get a lot of stuff as gratis or with my discount, so I stocked up on the basics (palettes, shadows, blushes, brushes, glosses, etc). Now that I freelance, I only buy certain things that I really want, mainly for myself, not for my kit. I do get a lot of samples (foundation, pigments, etc) so that cuts down on my spending big time...

[ashley_v85]

I have probably spent about $1500 in 2006 so far.

[princess]

I keep it down under $50 for each collection, since I mostly just buy lipglasses... but I think it will change with Lure. Lemming 1 e/s, 2 l/g. *dead*

[pinkarcade]

At from March - May I spent well over 2k. =/ Two weeks ago I got the specific number, I think it was around 1600? But I have bought well over 400 bucks worth of loot since then. My husband would be estatic if I only bought stuff in the collections.

[bebs]

to much

um I've actully gotten somewhat better and am only buying pigments & brushes for the next few months cause I have enough of everything else and am on a major no buy for any lips which totally sucks cause I think I might break it for pink clash its to pretty but also to much like everything else I own

[laa_cat]

I did pretty well to control myself the last 6 months.The last 2 collections that I really spent on MAC were the last MSF collection and Sundressing pigments, and I also did buy some random stuff like a lipstick and a fluidline. I spent only around $200 on MAC over the last few months. Of course, in between I paid around $20 for MAC pigment samples.
But I am already lemming quite some stuff from the Lure and She Shines collection. I am planning to get at least 2 e/s from Lure and 3 pigments from She Shines. There goes all my money in my wallet.

[Cool Kitten]

I try to keep my MU spendings under $100/month. Of course i'll go way over the limit when the new MSF's are released.

[MACActress]

Im not sure how much in 2006, but that's definitley when it started for me. All I bought in 2005 was Parfait Amour, which was the first item of my collection. Since then I have bought a lot more, and usually end up spending about $130 for each collection. I predict the same with Lure/Bait/Hooked, maybe a bit more with She Shines, and I will probably get all 6 MSFs if budget allows in July, and then Patternmaker, lets just hope I dont like Turquatic, and that MAC will quit releasing stuff until Fall =P

[MissMarley]

depends on the collection- if there is a lot of stuff i really like, i try to sell off stuff i haven't been using to buy the new products. i do want a couple of the she shines piggies, and some of the new MSFs (if they're in colors that will suit me). I'm hoping to keep my makeup spending under $200 for the whole summer

[Quiana]

I usually spend around $150-$200 on only because I am new to MAC this year and had almost nothing. THe most I ever spent at once was on Sweetie Cake and that was $174.00 and honestly the only this I really use from that collection is Pink Meringue lip glass!

[pugmommy7]

i get on kicks.
i only get stuff online that I "know" then get new stuff, or anything unfamiliar from the fs store.
it is really hit and miss. i thought i would have gotten a lot more of the sundressing line- then irl it ended up that i didn't, but i expected the opposite from sweetiecake-mainly because the model made me feel uncomfortable, but the quad rocks my world and i am still using the heck outta blue sprinkles...
anyway it usually averages $100-150...but how often fluctuates.
my husband would die. he once found a $60 reciept and said"what do you need with $60 worth of makeup. "i said it will never happen again."
LOL, it wasn't a lie, since I never spend that little

[misslilith]

I guess about 500€ I started at the beginnig of 2006 so I had to buy a lot of older LE and disc. items from the internet.
