How much is your collection worth?

so you ever look in the mirror while your painting your pretty face and look at all your stuff in your over stuffed case and think.. how much money did i actually spend on all this!!

yea i have and my collection is about an eighth of what most people's is on here and i counted a lil over a thousand dollars (horrible isnt it? im over due to buy something lol)

so if your bored - take a look at your stuff - you should probably know how much each item is - eg: eyeshadows = 13.50 (right?) add that up - how much is your obsession costing you?


- DISCLAIMER - no drama please! im just trying to make a fun thread!

A little less than 2 grand. I feel guilty and spoiled sometimes.. Some kids my age are struggling to get a car, yet i have a mustang convertible and (with all makeup) 3 grand of makeup (that could easily buy a car). And i can't even drive til sept.

I only moved to a city with a MAC store this September and my collection has rapidly grown. Before I owned under 6 items...now it's worth like $2500.

Eeeeeee I don't know... Probably less than 10 000$ though, because I spent less than that in the last 2 years! And that's not just MAC stuff... for everything together.

I came up w/ around 2grand. But that's pretty good considering I'm 16 and have only been collecting for 3 years! Also, brushes really rack up the cost.

I clean mine out regularly, so mine probably isn't TOO bad(under 10K). Once the drawers start getting full, I pare them down(once every few months).

Mine is the same as a semester at my university. I discovered this recently when I had trouble paying the tuition bill and figured out why. I picked up a second job though! and I've never looked so good

Well, I figured the actual, original retail cost was around $2500. (I have pared down quite a bit compared to last year, though. Too much I never used...It was probably a good thousand more before I weeded stuff out.) 80% of my collection is LE items (quite a few of them are pretty desirable on the ebay market lol!) so if I were doing it for insurance purposes I would estimate it closer to around $4000.

Sadly MAC only accounts for about 30% of my collection. I'd hate to see what it would be if I added it all up.....*shudder*

If you feel REALLY guilty, I'll hold on the car and the makeup for you. ;D

I think my collection probably totals about $150 worth... I'm trying to be restrained.
