Looking for the "staples"

Ok. That was uncalled for.
Sorry

I'm kind of feeling the same way right now! I have a LOT less eyeshadows than you, hahah! But I'm kind of on a tight budget right now and trying to restrict myself on buying more makeup. I have a pretty good collection right now that will serve me well, I think. Buuuuuuuut. I keep thinking I need some more of the "staple" products too, like you said! I think some of the good ones I have already are Espresso and All That Glitters, but I really want to get Satin Taupe and maybe Woodwinked? Pretty much most of your list!

Now, I would list what I have, but I have 91 MAC e/s already So that'd be quite the list... some may wonder why I need more... well, I tend to have the "oooo, so bright and pretty!" problem, especially at CCOs, so I have a lot of individual things that are missing things to go with them. What I am considering: 1. Satin Taupe - *this is a definite 2. Naked Lunch 3. Vanilla 4. Expensive Pink Good or bad? And other suggestions? Thanks so much in advance for any responses!

I have all that you've listed and they are all great. Especially Satin Taupe.

Geth them all, especially if you can find them at your CCO.

I would also suggest a few basic browns depending on your skin tone. Like Saddle, Soft Brown or Cork.

I'm hoping I can find a few at the CCO today

I swear I've seen Satin Taupe there recently. That'll definitely help out.

Well... I went a bit crazy

Can I use the excuse that my birthday is soon?

I got...

Scene
Lotusland
Twinks
Vanilla
Carbon
Woodwinked
Sketch
Naked Lunch
All That Glitters
Satin Taupe

I skipped on Expensive Pink, but maybe I'll pick it up in a few weeks. I had to cut myself off somewhere!

Thanks to everyone that gave me suggestions!

LOL Nice choices!!! Way to reign yourself in...I don't know if I could've done it. Hahaha

 

[hello_kitty]

LOL!

I really wish I got Expensive Pink, but I am going to try to wait a little bit. I figure I should be able to live without it for a few weeks!

Now I'm excited to try all sorts of new combos and what not!
