What was your biggest MAC accident?

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*

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 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

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.

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

^ 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
ssad.gif
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

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.

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.

HA! Mine is horribly self-inflicted and totally deserved.


I got mad at my ex (who was my then-bf) and grabbed the closest thing to me to chuck at him across the room...

It was my Amber Lights eyeshadow!

lmao...

Shattered Amber Lights + pale pink carpet = one mad landlord!

I've had Tilt break twice in my makeup bag. That was the only one in the entire pallette that broke both times. Even though I love that color I refuse to buy it anymore, I think it is cursed or something!
I also stupidly dropped my entire 15 pan on the floor. Carbon, Naked Lunch, Honeylust and (saddest of all) Expensive Pink all broke. Luckily most of them broke into the top of the palette so I was able to salvage some and repress them. And it really sucked cleaning up bits of Carbon off my floor for 3 days!

I have a male friend who never takes things seriously until he's performed an action with a disastrous result, forcing me to scream at him. Nice guy, but no matter how much I say, "DON'T," he almost always will. T_T

So the one night, I had set out all of my make-up for some pictures I wanted to take the next day, including my MAC Rule shadow, which I depend on for my undereye circles. I specifically told him to be careful around the sink, because I had a bunch of make-up set up around it. He went to use the bathroom (which is in the very back of my apartment) and didn't come out for a while...and when he DID come out, he had "painted" his face with my make-up, thinking it was funny. Of course, he knows shit all about make-up, so he had dipped his dripping wet fingers in to just about everything, including my MAC Rule shadow, ruining them.

I swear to God, I almost ripped his head off. He was nearly in tears by the time I had finished calculating how much he owed me to pay for it all--it was well over $100. Lucky for him, I only had two MAC items out, and he had left the concealer alone.

Another time was all my clumsy fault. I had just bought Electric Eel eyeshadow. I opened it and set it on the edge of my sink, then turned around to rub my hands on a towel. When I turned back around, I accidentally knocked the eyeshadow in to the sink, breaking it all up. D: I only had, like, a quarter of the eyeshadow left in the pan when I'd finished salvaging it.

I accidently dropped my Bold & Brazen eyeshadow which really liked and a huge chunk shattered out of it. I have to try to press it back together with alcohol but most of it is still intact. I also knocked over a jar of Copperized pigment.....most of it ended up on the floor

I accidentally dropped my 15 MAC palette the other night and almost all of my shadows fell out, but only one suffered major injury--my brand-new Dazzlelight depot has a HUGE chunk missing due to the fall, and it probably has 70% left now. I swore quite loudly and woke my roomie, who understands my love/obsession with MAC, and, though it wasn't a huge "accident," I still felt stupid and hate myself for being so clumsy.

To all others who have had a MACcident, I know how it feels!

I dropped my pan of All That Glitters last week, it was almost gone but it still would have lasted me for a while.

I recently spilled at least half of Fuchsia Pigment on my lap,
While wearing my favorite jeans,
And into cream colored carpet.

I cried.
