Well....this is my collection. I've been into make-up for as long as I can remember (namely, raiding my mother's purse when I was 6 for a $2 palette at the mall - lol). I started collecting not that long ago - the first MAC product I bought was when I was 18 or 19 and it was an eyeshadow - Trax I think, then Electric Eel, Amber Lights, Aquadisiac and nothing much else for over a year. I then added a quad (2nd pan of Trax, Bitter, Lime and Chrome Yellow).

Anyways, I digress...

A lot of the stuff I have now has been acquired within the past 18-24 months. I'd like to think I have a well-rounded collection of drugstore and prestige brands. I don't have a little bit of everything, but I hope to buy more here and there to make that happen eventually.

My collection:

Random brushes from eBay (ebay seller Jolieeeee), QUO, Hakuhodo and my "MAC 187"...I'm pretty sure its fake lol.

The general area (I don't have room for a vanity in my small apartment so I put on my make up right at my computer desk).

The yellow/off white ones are from eBay - from Jolieeee. Its her 28 brush set with a gold brush roll. They're good...I like them. Its a nice variety in terms of the smaller brushes (ie, eyeshadow, concealer, liner, etc). And I love the blush brush that came in it - same with the shorter handled contouring one. I couldn't contour for the life of me with other brushes until I found out that its the size that screwed me up. They're soft and barely shed, although the fan brushes can get messed up if you don't store them properly.

The silver handled ones for the most part are QUO with the exception of 2 Lancome #17's that are similar to MAC's 224/226's. They can be a bit scratchy at times (some are made with squirrel hair), but that still hasn't stopped me from buying 2 of each for pretty much all of them.
