First Post. Itty Bitty MAC Collection.

First time posting here. I've been lurking for a little while.
I'm Gabrielle. I'm 17 and I live on Long Island. I've been into cosmetics for a few years when my friend demanded that I wear eyeliner one day. Before that, I was very "anti-makeup." I didn't see the point in it. Well. I suppose that all changed after that day. Now I don't leave the house without it. I started getting into MAC in 2004 when their Adorn/Holiday collection came out. My first products were a Swish eyeshadow and one of the eye shadow palettes from the holiday collection.

I use to be into the bright eye shadow but now I'm just lazy and keep it to heavy black eyeliner for the most part.

So, here are pictures of my small MAC collection as well as my other brands of cosmetics.

Lip stuff plus one concealer that I forgot to put in the picture of my face stuff and another Rebelrose is in the box.

Face stuff and brushes.

Everything else. A few of the eye shadows in the 15-pan palette aren't MAC... Actually, nine of them aren't MAC. Haha. It's Milani and one Trucco.

Non-MAC face stuff. I don't even use the majority of it.

Non-MAC lip stuff. Yes, I'm aware that two of the lipsticks are deformed...

I love my Orra palette. Even though it never gets any use...

Brushes that I use on an almost-daily basis.

Crap brushes that I never use.

Bottom drawer of MAC boxes (yes, I save the boxes..) and other random stuff that I never use but bought anyway.

My collection use to be double of what you see here. I gave most of it away because I didn't see the point in keeping things that were bought on impulse or things that my mother gave me that I'll never use.

I love my small collection though.

Haha. Oh man. Don't mind the purple/blue/brown-ish stains on my dresser. They're from my hair dye. I dye my hair black and purple in my room because my dad is extremely anal about the new bathrooms and doesn't want the bathroom stained.

Oh, and here's a picture of me other than my user picture.
Picture removed. I'm paranoid about having any pictures of myself taken.

I don't have any pigments. The pink-ish thing in the jar is a shimmersouffle. (In Shimmerati)

The Orra palette is great. The pans are really tiny though. Just about the size of a dime. Maybe a little bigger. But the colors are really pigmented and you don't need that much to get a bright color.

You can buy it on eBay. I think my father bought it for around $40... Maybe a little more, a little less, I'm not too sure. I got it about a year ago.

Heh.. glad to know I'm not the only one who saves boxes. ^_^

Thanks a lot for your kind reply! Yeah, I saw Orra palettes on Ebay but I wasn't sure they worth the price. Now I think I'll buy one of them soon.

It's "Hellfire" I've never tried it on myself. My mom gave it to me. I opened it and it kind of had an odd smell last time I opened it so I keep it closed. O.O

Most definitely worth the price. Expecially if you're into bright eye makeup.
