Re: What RARE MAC Items Do You Own?

I LOVED reading everyone's post here..

Some rare (I think) things I have:

Spanish Fly, Bodysuit (Man, I wish they would bring this back), Bronx. Buoy-o-Buoy lippies
Mini lipglass set (Hi-Resin Rose, Electron Pink, Chroma Camel, and Infrared Wood) that are little tubes w/ twist-off tops and 2003 Lipglass Stain Treats (Chicky, Filtered, Ghettoflower, Restrained Rust)

A wonderful twist-up blush in Cool Pink (paintstick?)--i'm too lazy to go look.
Sheer color extracts in Bellyflop and breaststroke and Shadebenders iin Iridescently and Sorcery

A VIVA Glam palette of the 1st four VG lippies--I got this at a CCO in Myrtle Beach about 6-7 yrs ago and have never seen another one anywhere...The box is black/white striped with Elton John, Mary J Blige, etc. on the front...the palette itself is black..Anyone know any info about this one?

I have all the original paints except Hot & Sour (which I regret not getting to this day as well as dementhe e/s)....

Cheek, Empire, Soft Brown, Grain (in the lg eyeshadow pans), Slammin', Muscat, Slick, Quartz and Kool, Fantastic Plastic, Salsabelle (are these rare?) CCBs, Phase and Limit e/s (in twist top), Maroon, Coco and Coco Beach piggies, Parrot, Putty, lucky green, moth brown

Haze e/s

All girl pigment

Dainty cake lipstick

 

Funny, my haze e/s is also cracked -- I think must be the age (circa 1995)

If a vis-a-violet pigment is rare, I have that one.  I have a lot of discontinued pigments, but I don't think they are rare.  I have 3 blush ombres (I recently acquired them from a friend who did not like them).  Once they are repromoted, they will no longer be rare. lol.

My screwtop eyeshadows are my pride and joy. I consider those to be some of the most rare MAC items I own. As you can see, I am very serious about collecting them, haha. There are lots of other ones I am searching for, but so many are so old, they are next to impossible to find. I won't give up, though! There is just something about the hunt that is so thrilling. And I love having those pieces of MAC history, especially since powder products tend to last forever. Most of the colors are really so unique, too. I love pre-Lauder MAC, there was so much more of a true artistic feel to the brand.

Brushes:

I also have a brow/lash brush from when MAC was founded. It doesn't have a number, it just says "MAKE-UP ART  BROW/LASH USA" on it. And I have a super old lip brush that has no lettering/numbering at all... it is definitely authentic, though. I have no idea how old it is, but it is OLD. And still performs like no time has passed at all!

 

Palettes/Quads:

Flowering Quad

Nordstrom Exclusive Eyes x 11... this palette is really cool, it contains Vex, Night Owl, and Perverted Pearl eyeshadows. I don't think I've ever seen another one for sale. I grabbed it for pretty cheap in a blogsale several years ago and thought I was dreaming. It has the original 213SE brush and Smolder liner, too.

Perverted Pearl Quad... I once had 2 of these--ridiculous!

Postcards:

MAC Pops Up! (from a 2010 event in Montreal)

Pure (Kool Kat version)

Rococo (gold overlay version)

Viva Glam (first ever VG card, '96)

Zoom Lash

 

I also have Haze nail lacquer. Apparently there were 2 versions of this polish--a duochrome blue/purple (blurple?) that I think was part of the permanent line and a different version that came out with Dolled Up, I believe. It is a seafoam green with pink/lavender duochrome shimmer. I have that one.

 

Also, I've always wondered--is Smoked Mauve pigment real or just a MAC legend?! I've heard that it was given out to MAC employees, but I have never been able to confirm its existence. Never seen a picture or knew of anyone who had it. There isn't even any info on Google.. like, AT ALL. Does anyone know for sure?

I think the only rare/discontinued mac I own is in the form of two body pencils in "Beelicious" and "GreenGlo".

But I hate them. Like seriously thank god for the invention of chromaline pencils. lol

Wow! MAC needs to read this thread to get ideas for which items that need to be repromoted.

I have a few of the pink Playboy Bunny lipsticks. And quite a bit of the Barbie collection.

 

I loved Bodysuit too! I think I have 2 of those. And, a bunch of stuff I can't remember right now ;)

I don´t have anything super-rare.

But maybe semi-rare?

I bought Jealousy Wakes e/s earlier this year.

It´s not really rare, but it´s unusual here in Sweden.

 

Also, I´ve got Juiced e/s.

Maybe not rare, but it´s d/c.

It was my first product ever from MAC.

I bought it when I was 16 y/o,

8 years ago...

 

Really lame, I know.

I forgot to say:

I could kill for Haze e/s,

it´s so freaking beautiful!

I've been collection MAC cosmetics since about 1999, but I must say it was not until maybe the last 2 years I have began to really collect. LOL

 

Not sure any of these are super rare. small list. lol

 

 

• Shimpagne MSF (repurchased on ebay for $30. Original one I must have misplaced)
• Spiced Chocolate E/S Quad (Cult of Cherry)

• Aquavert E/S
• Silly Goose E/S
• Parrot E/S
• Wondergrass E/S

If any I'd you guys with coco ever want to sell or sell some samples let me know, I'm absolutely dying to try it.

Rarest I have is

All girl pigment
Turquoise pigment
Deck chair
Apricot pink
Blue (rr)

Stereo rose original

I guess the rarest stuff I own is:

 

Ripe Peach Blush Ombre

 

Azalea Blossom Blush Ombre (though not as rare as it was re-promoted)

 

Strada Blush - I know this got re-promoted with Gareth Pugh but I have that one along with an original

 

I know a lot of people have the following eye shadows, but they took me a while to track down so they're "rare" to me.

 

Parrot e/s

Gulf Stream e/s

Rated R e/s

Signed Sealed e/s

 

That's it, although a lot of my stuff is LE, I don't think most of it is particularly hard to find.

I don't even know if these count as rare, but they were a pain in the butt for me to get so...

 

Metal Rock MSF

Spiced Chocolate quad

Ripe Peach blush ombre

Mountain High blush

Goddess blush

i dont think i have much that would be considered rare...maybe a few eyeshadows that i've either had a long time, or i hunted down...

 

stomp

velvet moss

mancatcher

I *think* the only rare things I own are eye shadows, Parrot and Gulf Stream, although maybe some of my other shadows are rare as well. 

 

ETA: Other people listed these as rare, so I'll list them too. I also have Goldbit and the Spiced Chocolate quad. 

I know this thread is old, but I recently came across Brill, Tissueweight (really rare), and Waternymph :-). Oh and mac Haze :-).

Flamingo x3.

That's all. lol

Gulf Stream, Mcqueen MSF, Mothbrown. Moonflower (is it le?)...and I think that´s all.
