What was your biggest MAC accident?

[Khalia25]

Oh, and another classic episode to add to my Vanilla Pigment tragedy. I'm sure many of you can relate to this. You might need to "Hug Me" after reading this....(ha ha lame pun intended! LOL)

I live in Texas, and it gets scorchingly hot. Grrr...I miss Japan. Anyhoo, I'm notorious for leaving my lip stuff in the cup holder in the car. Welll..I left one of my favorite nude lippies, Hug Me, out to get scorched. Wow. Melted. Oh, and I did the same thing to one of my favorite pinks, Lovelorn. Two of my favorites melted down the "drain." Wow. How foolish of me.

Oh, but it doesn't stop there. This girl doesn't ever learn. I left Strayin' out to melt, too. Oh em gee. LOL. Buttt...in my defense, the weather here is bi-polar. It was expected to be a cool day, but then BAM...out comes the devil. Strayin' wasn't completely ruined, but it sho' was leanin to the side. LOL

I can't hi-jack this thread without expressing my condolences once again for the shattered palettes! RIP!

Aww...that seriously sucks...losing so much eyeshadow!! I dropped one of mine on the floor a while ago. Luckily it just cracked with no spillage...I was able to put some moisturizer on it and turn it into like a cream based eyeshadow. I was very lucky I guess!

[Sabrunka]

Oh gosh that's so sad!! I'm sorry I would be devastated!! The worst that I've had happen was that I dropped an eyeshadow.. And it didn't shatter or anything lol.. So I guess I'm lucky.. And now I jinxed myself.

[MissAlly]

Oh,God.I would have bawled my eyeballs out.

It would have shown me standing there, half covered in cocomotion pigment with a stunned look on my face. I resembled a fairy that overdosed on glitter. Luckily, I still have most of the container left.

These both happened just a little while ago and on the same day.
I was at school, and i was doing my makeup, so i brough out my studio fix powder and to my dismay it was broken. I know it happened when i dropped my purse earlier because the day before it was still intact.

The second thing that happened was i was doing my makeup, putting on my highlight. So i grabbed my brush and my Vanilla pigment somehow fell as i did that, Half of it was wasted that day.

[Dollfaced]

my god, just reading these stories makes me shudder. i would probably cry if i ever broke/spilled/shattered any of my mac stuff.
i haven't had any accidents, really. except for this one time that i rolled up my technakohl liner all the away and dropped it.. it broke. but it was time to buy a new eyeliner anyway. thank GOODNESS.

Have you ever seen a brand new studio fix fluid falling to the floor in slow motion while saying NOOOOOOOO? well, I have... Had to clean and remove makeup from everywhere while trying to keep a curious cat away from the crime scene

To the first poster... so sorry for those palettes! my heart would have stopped...

[moonlit]

Im so sorry abt that.. I usually have nicks when I depot.. I have nails so sometimes my lipsticks have scratches grrr

I dropped my lipstick once.. and the worse is yet to come: I dropped nailpolish all over my dress and the floor.. and then use nailpolish remover.- i gave away that dress.. arrghh and the floor still has nailpolish remover stains.. luckily it is colourless but still ..

Yeah, me Sunday, my 3 yr old is very interested when I put my make-up on, and he grabbed the foundation and dropped it on the floor, ran and hid under the bed. If not for the glass I would have put him to help me clean it. He knew he did something bad but refused to talk about it, he`s so sweet

[MacAddict09]

I left my makeup bag on my desk. I had been wearing Cutester evreyday,I took it to school and eventually it ended up back in my makeup bag. My dad tends to turn up the heat a little too high and it melted. Im left brokenhearted.

[Prototype83]

Yesterday I accidentaly knocked over my neutral palette while getting ready for work and it went crashing to the floor I was sooo upset. The palette broke in half and can't be repaired and I lost Mulch. Damn!

[s0_fam0us]

I would have CRIED if my palettes fell out onto the street like that... I'm pretty good at leaving one of my traincases unlocked (it kind of opens in half and has drawers inside it... hard to explain) and have spilled EVERYTHING onto the floor more times than I can count while picking it up. It's kept on the carpeted floor under my desk so it's never been TOO bad...

And look at the bright side - now you've got all those empty palettes begging to be filled!

[makeupNdesign]

**wrapping all my MAC palettes in bubble wrap as I read your post**

I totally cringed when I read your story!! I'm so sorry

I have a deceased Parrot, Vanilla and Nylon eyeshadow(s), New Vegas MSF, and lost half of my Teal pigment when I accidentally knocked the jar over. Sigh. And I discovered that my Chi mix likes the smell of my MAC Lip Conditioner and came home one day to find her tiny teeth marks all over the tube--apparently I dropped it in my haste and she found it. Fortunately she didn't puncture it and ingest anything, lol. Crazy dog!

[VDUB*BELLA]

I am so upset I dropped my Redhead MSF on my ceramic bathroom floor.

My favourite MSF evarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...
I promised myself "no back ups this year" but this is the only one I did get a back up (phew) I am so thankful I did that. Although still usable I cant take it with me anywhere and have to be extra careful....

RIP Redhead MSF

[Tahti]

GAH RIP Redhead MSF!!! I love that MSF, I'd be so sad if that happened. TG for backups..

[spectrolite]

This isn't really that bad but it sure was annoying. A few weeks ago I was getting ready in the wee hours of the morning as usual and in my zombie like condition I picked up what I thought was my tub of plain lip conditioner but it was actually Black Ore solar bits... I had the jar tilted to the side and when I opened it a ton of bits fell out on to my washing machine and I was left standing there like...That's not lip conditioner!

[coachkitten]

I would have died if my 15 pan palette fell into the rain. I am so sorry that happened.

VDUB*BELLA your poor Redhead MSF. At least it is still usable.

One time I dropped an entire sunnydaze pigment jar down the sink. It is the first time I had done something like that and it ruined my entire day!!

[purrtykitty]

Oh, all these stories are makin' me sad!

eeeeeek!!! Thats another one... lesson learned. Pigments and doing make up in your car DO NOT MIX. I dropped Sunpepper piggy in my car. I was able to salvage a tiny bit of it but it ended up costing me more because I had to get the car cleanded. Pigment got worked into the seats and floor mats. GAHHHHHHH it was a nightmare

[matsubie]

i'm so sorry about your accident!


i have a tendency of dropping blot powders.
i'm a bit of a clutz, so whenever i use pigments, i have mini-spill accidents.
maybe i need to start using them pressed.

I'm really sorry about your MSF but thanks for including the picture! I find it fascinating that it broke down all the rows! lol I'm such a geek.

[Tahti]

HOLY F*UCK I just looked in my makeup bag that I was toting around in my handbag tonight, and somehow my silver pigment jar opened and everything is covered in metallic f'ing silver. Gaaaaaaaaaah

[kuuipo415]

my worst accident was losing my HK mimmy lipglass the very same day I bought it!! I only used it 3 times!

[LMD84]

i dropped some of my violet pigment the other day i use violet so often and i'm usually really careful! not much has gone but still sad for what i lost!

and the picture of the broke redhead makes me sad! but at least you had a backup!
