What are you getting next time you go to MAC?

Thread Starter 
Usually before I'll go to MAC I'll write down the things I REALLY want. This usually saves me from over-spending (ha!) or forgetting what I went in for because I have the memory of a goldfish. Of course, I don't usually buy everything on the list at once (unless I'm loaded) but I take it slow and buy three or for things at a time.

So I decided to make a thread asking you guys if you do the same and if you do, what are you going to get?

For example, I'm coveting -

BRUSHES: 181, 119, 109, 239

L/S: Myth, Viva Glam V

E/S: Vanilla, Gesso, Patina, Goldmine, Bamboo, Soba, Omega, Soft Brown, Romp, Cork, Espresso, Tempting, Kid, Twinks, Carbon, Brown Down, Naked Lunch... Ok, Ill stop there..for now

L/G: Love Nectar, Prr, C-Thru

P/POT: Bare Study, Rubenesque

C/C/BASE: Luna, Pearl, Hush, Fawntastic

LE: Cult of Cherry L/G

OTHER: FIX +, MAC DUO LASH GLUE

Have fun making your own list!!


PS - Are the Pigments being discontinued, because on the MAC site (Australia) it says that they're available for a limited time only

Re: What are you getting next time you go to MAC?

I plan to hit the MAC store next Friday and right now my list is TINY LOL. Petticoat and Creme De' Nude. Though, depending on my money situation, I'll probably pick up either one of those powder things coming out with Sheer Minerals or a MES :nod:.

And not MAC, but next time I go I'm stopping by Sephora to pick up some UDPP.

Re: What are you getting next time you go to MAC?

I think I have a problem because I keep a wish list of items that's saved in Wordpad. If I don't have a list with me, I'll probably spend wwwaaaayyyyy too much!!! Next week it's Brassy fluidline, blush pallette, Blunt blush, Plumage e/s and Heritage Rouge. Not too much for now.

Re: What are you getting next time you go to MAC?

I have an excel spreadsheet where I budget for what I want from the upcoming collections and from the permanent line...

For my next visit I will be picking up some of the suite array pearlglide liners, and possibly more dazzleglasses depending on when red she said launches in Australia.

Regarding your question on the pigments on the Aust. site, they are usually listed as LE as they only have the pigments from the collections rather than the whole selction of pigments. Sucks, I know. Basically if you want to order a pigment you have to ring the pro stores in Sydney or Melbourne. Really painful, which is why I only purchase pigments from either LE collections or when I go interstate

Re: What are you getting next time you go to MAC?

I keep a wishlist on wordpad too, lol. My collection is already enormous, but my wishlist is HUGE.
Currently, the thing I am most lemming is the 109 brush!

Re: What are you getting next time you go to MAC?

I don't keep a wishlist but I guess I should xD There are SO many things I want and I just usually buy whatever comes into my mind first when I'm at the counter xD
I need to buy a present for my friend so we'll see what that's gonna be... Pop Iris LLL maybe?

I just got a job at a local counter so I really don't wanna buy anything for myself before I start

That’s my problem, too! Lists really help you remember, even if you just type them up and go over them before you leave

Yeah, I normally buy most of my items from the clearance bin on Specktra, but now that the Aust dollar is screwed I will have to figure out whether it's better to buy on here & pay shipping or to buy locally

Re: What are you getting next time you go to MAC?

Let me see...
I think I'll be getting 188 brush, Fast Response Eye Cream, Oil Control Lotion (I never notice when it's about to be finished on time, and since the closest MAC is within an hour's drive I buy a spare one in advance).
Also I'm waiting for the Cremesheen collection to get here. And I might be getting a fluidline - still haven't got one.
This really is endless... :0)

Re: What are you getting next time you go to MAC?

I'm trying to hit up the CCO [an hour away :/] and I'm really hoping that I can get my hands on a Firespot e/s and a Pandamonium quad. I'm hoping there will be some things from the Barbie collection and the McQueen collection as well.

As for regular MAC, I'd like to get some back ups of Feline, Romp e/s, Crystal e/s, Black Tied e/s, Smut e/s, Mulch e/s, Satin Taupe e/s, P&P Lash and a Zoom Black mascara, a white/gray kohl liner, a few picks from Creme Sheen, and maybe a Pearl Glider or two.

Sacrilege I know but I have pretty much all I want from the perm line so I am mainly investigating other brands.

The constant LE edition stuff is turning me off MAC.

Re: What are you getting next time you go to MAC?

LOL.. i make wishlists too..
It can be a lot easier to look at the website and make a list of what you want... I don't like going into the store when its really busy and just browsing..I like to go in.. then get out asap. when the store is quiet I don't mind browsing.

I want... the Black CCB
Motif e/s
amber lights
Brow set
need a new concealer nw45

Re: What are you getting next time you go to MAC?

Lol, I keep my wishlist in my basket on online. We only have a mac counter here, so I go there try what I think I want and then buy it online. One, I don't have to pay taxes then (and usually wait for free shipping) and two, I can return it if I don't like it. Anywho, my list currently has:

l/s: burning, chintz
e/s: newly minted, sketch, folie, espresso, kid, post haste, black tied, clarity, scene, passionate
blush: blunt, emote
brushes: 182, 209, 227
p&p lip
feline eye kohl

I'm sure my list will keep growing.

Re: What are you getting next time you go to MAC?

This thread has inspired me to make a wishlist both on stuff that I can get from counter and one to LE and discontinued stuff that I have to hunt down.

Right now my list is soooo long but what I'm prolly gonna pick up next is Dollymix blush.

Re: What are you getting next time you go to MAC?

I have a "wishlist" where I have all the permanent things I eventually wanna get, but will probably have to wait til Christmas. I also have a budgeted worksheet but the LE collections usually eat up my whole budget. lol. There's so many collections! I have most of what I want from the perm line, but not PRO stuff, which is what I'm going to start working on I think.

Me too!

I'm hoping to get Humid and Carbon e/s and Sweet as Cocoa blush next month from the perm line. I'm still undecided on Petticoat (not sure if it's too light for my skin tone) so it's sitting in my MAC shopping basket online while I decide.
