What was your biggest MAC accident?

[chocolategoddes]

urrrghhh! that sucks. I would've thrown a total bitch fit! Sorry

my sable e/s cracked when I stupidly took with me overseas on winter holiday. but now, I just have it in a jar like a pigment, so it's not so bad.

[BloopBloop]

my worst MAC-cident was the the day after Hello Kitty. I woke up and reflected on my purchases and stuff. I dunno what the heck i was thinking, but i put the cap on one lipstick, and then the other lipstick i had to struggle to push it down. so after a couple of seconds i realized that i forgot to twist the damn stick down!! urgh i lifted the cap and there was lipsticks chunks all over the inside of the cap

Oh man...I am soooo sorry to hear that!! I just had a baby, myself, and I remember all my little goof ups and clumsy moments. I feel your pain. ::moment of silence::

But let me tell yall about my mishap. LOL. I should be ashamed, but ain't no shame to my game. This might sound gross, but I would've been in a depressed funk for the remainder of the day if I didn't do this. I dropped my Vanilla Pigment on the floor in my bathroom. Ohhhhh emmmmm geeeee. The jar was emptied!! I scrambled to the floor in horror...I was about to faint. I quickly grabbed a credit card and scooped it all up and put it back in the jar. Yes, unsanitary...I know. But I couldn't help myself. This was just last week. LOLOL. I need to go to MAC to get another one, but in the meantime, scoopety scoop will work. LOL

LOL The things we do for MAC, right? Part of me was like EW while I was scooping it up, but the other part of me was like, "I don't give a d*mnnnn...I gotta do what I gotta do!" LOL

And is that you in your avatar? I've always thought it's such a classy and cute picture. You look Carrie Bradshaw-ishly fabulous!

[purrtykitty]

Ohhh, I would've said a slew of expletives, and then died. Kudos for keepin' them buns in the oven, lol!

Just think "five-second rule" or "kiss it up to god" LOL whatever helps us sleep at night.

and yea, thats me last summer in my avatar. all the elements were in the right place at the time, perfect summer lighting, just bought the sunglasses, matching pearls for the outfit, and the pic was taken on my cousin's phone. the quality lacked in sharpness but it just made the whole thing work out. here's how it looks full sized.. i traded in the glasses for something better though =P.



See what i mean about the camera quality making everyting softer and glowing? But umm... YEA THANKS GIRLY!

My only real accidents have been:

Dropping my BRAND NEW Teal Little Darlings piggy vial on the bathroom tile, and breaking it. I never even got to use the damn thing.

I got some chips here and then while depotting my e/s, but nothing major.

A coworker of mine was telling me at work tonight that she had her makeup bag in the locker room at work, with about $500 of MAC (she has a Pro card) in it, and someone stole it.

Considering where I work, and the fact that you have to pass a background check to be employed there..knowing that I work with thieves is disheartening.

Having said THAT...I would NEVER leave anything of value laying around. She should have kept it in her soft locker, or something. But having stuff stolen still sucks ass.

[GlamQueen21]

I would be pissed if someone stole my MAC makeup and I would be on a I- will-hunt-you-down spree right now! If my job had a locker, I would have to have about 5 or 6 locks to keep my MAC makeup safe.

[rouquinne]

you poor dear, do you need a hug????

****HUG***

i only lost a couple of things in my move from Ottawa to London and none of them were LE... my baggage was pawed over by baboons i'm sure when it was being transferred between planes in Toronto!

[romi79_2008]

Oh...that`s so sad, I`m sure in time you`ll have your palettes back . I think I would be devastated, There is no MAC where I live now and it gets about 6-8 weeks for an order to get to me. Anyways I think I would borrow money if I had to and buy something back
My biggest accident redhead and petitcoat smashed on the floor and...today while I was in another room my 3 y old ruined joyous bpb , all my sofa is ruined I have no idea hoe to clean that

[Tahti]

I just remembered a pretty horrible incident that happened to one of my lecturers. She's awesome, she loves makeup <3
She does freelance work and had her entire traincase in the boot of her car one day. It was about 4-5 grand worth of MAC I'd say, and her car GOT STOLEN. With the makeup in the boot. She cried for 2 days apparently.

I've had lots of MAC stolen off me before *nasty roommates and their friends... agggh* but nothing that valuable... *moment of silence*

[pink_lily82]

The only thief I deal with is my sister, which is okay since I know where she lives =) I did have an episode where I was holding my jar of cocomotion and without time to put it down I sneezed. Poof in the air it went. I had friends asking me all day why my hair sparkled.

OH man, I would have loved to have seen that hehe.. hope you didn't lose too much of it!

That would have been a great funny video , if someone had a camera to surprise your face after ...precious I think

[-moonflower-]

Oh my gosh, I would have thrown such a hissy fit if that happened to me!

I haven't had any full blown disasters yet (touch wood!). I often come close to dropping my Vanilla pigment but I've managed to catch it everytime so far. I took a big chip out of my chrome yellow eyeshadow and nearly broke it when I depotted it. It was my first ever depot and I didn't leave it on the straightener for long enough. It was almost a disaster!

[L1LMAMAJ]

ahh that makes me so sad...i hope you feel better.

[nunu]

Ohh my god!!! i am so sorry about that!!!!!!

[cupcake_x]

I've had accidents semi- similar to yours!
I had my quad in my purse and it fell on the hard wood floor. The quad lid broke and my Amber Lights, Parfait Amour, Idols Eyes and Carbon broke!

I've also knocked over pigments and some of it has fallen on my dresser.

[Exotica]

sorry to hear about your eyeshadows! I am sooooo paranoid about dropping/shattering my makeup. it makes me feel sick just thinking about it

[LatinaRose]

Bright Fuchsia pigment, white carpet. More of a carpet accident as I didn't lose too much pigment, but that stain is still there!

Not nearly as bad as yours!! You poor thing!

[Babylard]

o god im sorry to hear that.
the only real accidents i've had was my first attempt at depoting with tweezers and trying to melt glue with alcohol.

i also lost a few lipglasses, chipped a chunk off femme-fi, and overheated pink freeze...

but nothing as sad as yours =(

[nursie]

to the original poster, i hope you'll be able to rebuild your collection even more fantastically than it was. i know i would have cried!

the only thing really tragic that's happened with my mac was i opened a raquel welch collection beauty powder and the powder was crumbled. i dont remember it ever falling, so i think one or two little busy bodied children may have been playing in mama's makeup when my kids were smaller they once used lipsticks to draw, but thankfully i wasn't into mac then so it was just drugstore lippies !

[Robby_Raynebow]

I cringe at the thought of any of these stories. As a full time high school student I have a decent amount of makeup. Not a lot of mac as i would like considering my lack of counters. I would sit down and cry if that were to happen to me. Ugh. i don't like to think of what would happen.

[chaffsters33]

oh man I'm sorry about your eyeshadows! I would have cried literally for like three and a half days. Good lord.

I haven't had any major accidents but once when I was depotting the first few times I made a hole in Floral Fantasy the shape of Africa!
