What was your biggest MAC accident?

[AmberElizabeth]

I had my jar of Dark Soul pigment sitting open on my bathroom counter and as I was reaching for a brush, my fiance came in and put both our ferrets on the counter... And ferrets are VERY nosey animals. One of them knocked the jar over with his nose, and sneezed causing more pigment to poof out of the jar!!! Luckily, the jar was only half full so not too much came out. Still though, Dark Soul is my absolute favorite and I use it almost daily! I would have freaked if more was dumped out. I'm guessing only a pinch came out.

Ohh noo that's soo sad!!!

I've broken...

2 Studio Fix powders
Beauty Powder
Blot Powder
Select Sheer Cover Powder (whatever it's called)
and broken 4 of my quads..not the e/s but the actual quads...

=/

Oh that stinks. I would have probably had a heart attack i get really upset when i hurt my make-up, and me being clumsy it happens a lot. I'm sorry. yesterday i spilled bronzer everywhere i was a glittery mess even after showering.

I have a basket with random makeup items in it, and its usually fully. I grabbed it to move it one day, and it went flying. I had a couple old d/c shadows in there... one of them haze, anyways, after collecting everything I dropped and seeing no damage to anything (whew!) I noticed haze was gone. It went missing for a week before I found it in my stiletto. So it didnt break, but I was a touch upset for a little while!

i lost my perfect topping msf while on vacation.
i think thats pretty tragic =/

It's not really big, but the only thing I can remember is dropping a fluidline on tiled floor. The jar cracked, but thankfully it didn't break. I have, however, received a few MSF's broken in the mail, and that always sucks.

I am channeling Esther Rolle form Good Times right now - "Damn, damn, damn!". I was horrified while reading this story...that is my worst fear for my eyeshadows since they are all in pallets. Luckily (knock on wood) I've not had any major accidents so far, but I have broken a few shadows (retro speck, jewel blue, and flashtrack) by dropping them on the floor or while I was in the midst of de-potting.

OMG reading your story makes me cringe.. Here's a huge hug sweetie!

[emmemma]

Oh i remember I lost 5 MAC eyeshadows... in the hotel room.... that counts right?

[shops2much]

I broke my Barbie Loves MAC Pearl Sunshine Beauty Powder. We had just gotten our floors done in wood from carpet. I accidentally dropped it, then bam, a shattered mess all over the floor. I was able to save a portion of it in a pigment container, but still lost a good part of it.

I had a more recent MAC accident. I dropped my twice used 'Of Summer' eyeshadow from Rose Romance and it broke. OH MY GOD!!!!

I seem to always drop a lot of things and make typos when I have fingernails that are longer than one millimeter. It's the universe's way of saying, "Do you think you can get away with this???!!!"

Luckily the lid was closed when this happened, so I just put the bits in a small jar and use it as a loose blush or add some fix+ to make a paste for the eyes.

About a month ago I was sitting on the floor playing with my e/s palettes. I was doing a new labeling system and had them all there (Ten 15 pan palettes). It was great fun, as we all know.

I stood up, palettes in hand, to put them away. My foot had fallen asleep so I was very careful when I got up.

Much to my horror, my entire leg was asleep. When I went to take a step, I crumbled to the floor, hitting the wall hard on my way down. My precious PALETTES HIT THE FLOOR with me!!!

I had to scoot to the bathroom on my rear because I couldn't standup and I was bleeding and didn't want to get it all over the carpet . All I could think about was that I was afraid to open my palettes.

I picked them up later and put them away, still not being able to work up the nerve to open them. The next day when I returned home from the doctor with pain meds and my ankle in a brace, I thought what the hell. I sat and slowly opened them, one by one. AMAZING, the MAC Gods were watching over me................not one loss!!! ALL of the e/s were perfect!!!

[jacquelinda]

applying my lipstick in a hurry, made me break off the entire lipstick off the container *cries*

[hello_kitty]

Today one of my palettes fell off the counter in the bathroom, and half of my Crystal Avalanche pan broke off I don't use the color a lot, I just hate the look of a broken up pan *whimpers*

[beautiijunkii]

Crap!!! That's terrible!!!! I guess my biggest MAC accident would be losing a lip liner, or something like that. That's happened several times in the past. Now, I make sure my purses have zip closures and my makeup bags, too! Or I'll leave it at home.

So long story short. Im 7 months pregnant I've been getting strong labor pains so the doctor put me on bed rest, it looks like im about to give birth soon so I decided to stay at my mom's place for the next few weeks since my husband works all day and I need a lot of help just doing daily mundane things right now.

So i packed up a few things to go to my moms' and i brought my makeup too So i had 4 of my 15 pan palettes and a few books in the passengers seat and when i got to my mom's house i opened the passengers seat.. without realizing the eyeshadows were practically leaning agaisnt the door. Yes, its exactly what you are thinking. The palettes fell on the street (p.s. i have a tall car and it was one hell of a fall), all of my palettes popped open and out went all my eyeshadows including the ones with the magnets behind them. They all cracked, and all the itty bits and pieces are being washed away in the rain as i speak.

This was pretty much my reaction
:cr y:

If i wasnt as big as a rhino right now maybe i could have caught them My mind was like NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! And my body said hahahaha!!!! you got owned.

I think I would cry... no, I know I would. Especially if all my LE ones that I'll likely never find again were in there. I hope some were salvaged?

My biggest MAC accident was minor compared to this, it was just that two of my palettes got bumped off the counter as I was doing my makeup - both were closed but popped open, luckily only my Trax and Clarity e/s were chipped. My biggest upset was that my perfect e/s organization had to be redone!

I broke 2 of my Studio Fix Powder before

But my biggest loss was a couple of days ago when I was picking some stuff from my vanity and let's just say I had a domino effect going on which led to my only worn once Cool Reserve nail polish to fall on the ground and BREAK! I quickly cleaned it up and later that day went to 3 MAC stores to get another one but all were sold out
First time I break a nail polish and it had to be LE. I'm looking for another one online and since I'm not from the States looks like shipping alone will cost $30+ and that is if the nail polish goes through customs since liquids are restricted.

[geeko]

i wished the pigment bottles came with sifters.....i m such a klutz that i have a tendency to spill my pigments

that being said. I accidentally spilled 2 bottles of my mac pigments before and had to scoop them up to put them back into the container again

[Aimishu]

^ i totally agree! it's like i always have a facetowel on my vanity table whenever i'm using pigments.

btw..your story makes me sad. I'm happy to say that i've had no big accidents...yet.. only thing i can think of is when popping e/s out i tend to go in with my nail... hate then that happens...

I had a crisis yesterday I left my 168 brush out on the counter to dry after I cleaned it, and when I was in the shower my kitten stole it and hid it! He's taken the brush before, but usually I see him do it. But I didn't notice until I went to use it that it was gone. So my husband and I search the house quickly, I took him to work, and then I came home and searched more, and still couldn't find it.

I knew he took it, as my older cat could care less about makeup brushes, and brushes don't just walk off on their own. So then a few hours later I am shuffling boxes around, and wedged in between two boxes in a corner of the living room was my brush!!! The cat came running over with a "hey, put that mouse back in it's spot!" look, LOL.

Crisis, most definitely. I would've hated to replace a $32 brush

On another note, I think my 209 brush got accidentally thrown away when my brush cup fell into my bathroom trash

[sarah.p]

Oh no!! I spilled Dark Soul pigment once but luckily it pretty much only went on my pants and not on my carpet.

[shontay07108]

I was applying Most Popular lipstick (Hello Kitty) at work and the damn thing broke and fell on the floor! I wanted to cry. I put the lipstick up to my lips and it just fell right out of the tube. I was so happy when it came out in another collection later on. The same thing happened with Spice is Nice lipstick, but I've since replaced it.

[PollyRhythm]

I had my 15 eyeshadow palette from coastal scents with my Mac shadows inside on the roll-out keyboard part of the computer stand (my makeup area; there's no computer there, lol) and I wasn't paying attention that it rolled out and my palette fell to the floor!

A bunch of the shadows rolled out, 3 cracked, and Digit completely shattered. There's one area missing and I can't remember if there was a shadow there or not. Soon after that happened, I went to Ikea and got some storage stuff.
