What was your biggest MAC accident?

Oh my gosh, I would have thrown such a hissy fit if that happened to me!

I haven't had any full blown disasters yet (touch wood!). I often come close to dropping my Vanilla pigment but I've managed to catch it everytime so far. I took a big chip out of my chrome yellow eyeshadow and nearly broke it when I depotted it. It was my first ever depot and I didn't leave it on the straightener for long enough. It was almost a disaster!

I've had accidents semi- similar to yours!
I had my quad in my purse and it fell on the hard wood floor. The quad lid broke and my Amber Lights, Parfait Amour, Idols Eyes and Carbon broke!

I've also knocked over pigments and some of it has fallen on my dresser.

Bright Fuchsia pigment, white carpet. More of a carpet accident as I didn't lose too much pigment, but that stain is still there!

Not nearly as bad as yours!! You poor thing!

o god im sorry to hear that.
the only real accidents i've had was my first attempt at depoting with tweezers and trying to melt glue with alcohol.

i also lost a few lipglasses, chipped a chunk off femme-fi, and overheated pink freeze...

but nothing as sad as yours =(

to the original poster, i hope you'll be able to rebuild your collection even more fantastically than it was. i know i would have cried!

the only thing really tragic that's happened with my mac was i opened a raquel welch collection beauty powder and the powder was crumbled. i dont remember it ever falling, so i think one or two little busy bodied children may have been playing in mama's makeup

when my kids were smaller they once used lipsticks to draw, but thankfully i wasn't into mac then so it was just drugstore lippies !

I cringe at the thought of any of these stories. As a full time high school student I have a decent amount of makeup. Not a lot of mac as i would like considering my lack of counters. I would sit down and cry if that were to happen to me. Ugh. i don't like to think of what would happen.

oh man I'm sorry about your eyeshadows! I would have cried literally for like three and a half days. Good lord.

I haven't had any major accidents but once when I was depotting the first few times I made a hole in Floral Fantasy the shape of Africa!

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!

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.

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.

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

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
