Losing Make Up

Re: Ever lost any of your MAC items and gone insane?!?!

I lost my Coco pigment for about 2 years... then when I was going through a drawer full of crap I found it inside a random make up bag. It felt like Christmas when I discovered it!!! I permanently lost a MAC lip brush.. still haven't replaced it after almost 2 years. I am still holding out hope that it'll turn up, lol.

ive misplaced some of my lipglasses (to many bags) and freaked out but i found them again

the only thing i really lost was my Engraved Powerpoint Pencil i carried it in my super small clutch bag when i was going out ....when i come home i emptied the clutch and the Powerpoint Pencil was missing. Oh well it was not limited and i replaced it but i just used the pencil once and then lost it arrrrgghhh it was brand new

My MSFN was stolen from my hotel room this past week.

At least it's not LE, but it's still a little sad.

I lost my MacPRO Plum e/s 4 years ago after I got back form Italy (where I purchased the thing in the first place) and my Orchidazzle l/s right after I got back from Paris (same story there) and I was going insane... I had to repurchase Plum e/s but had to wait 1 year since neither Chicago nor Istanbul had a Pro store at the time (Proud to say that both those cities have been blessed with a Pro store since) but for the Orchidazzle l/s I had to go online and get one from an e-bay seller.. Guess what happened next: 1 day after my Orchidazzle arrived, I found my Orchidazzle stuck in a God-forsaken place... Recently I had to search for my Grape lip pencil and was almost about to freak out, I cooled and remembered that I had put it in a bag a couple of weeks ago.. I'd imagine this sort of thing happens to all of us messy slobs!!

Re: Ever lost any of your MAC items and gone insane?!?!

Two years ago before my husband's Christmas party at work, I bought new makeup (this party is a HUGE production...food, booze, etc., and I always wanna look special for it)..The purchases included one Viva Glam V lipstick, which I loved. I used it getting ready for the party at home...and then it literally disappeared. I could not find it ANYwhere!

Then, one day about a month later while I was deep-cleaning my house, I moved out the entry-way couch...there it was! I think one of my cats saw it the night I had it out (I put it down on the couch so I could remember to take it with me before I went..and then when I went to retrieve it, it was just....GONE!!)..so I think a cat knocked it off and played with it!

Well, I had it for like..a week. I was SO happy to have it back. Then, it just disappeared..AGAIN! To this day, I STILL cannot find it. I think it just didn't like me! Clearly, I was not meant to have it

AND.....last year; same thing. I received a free black eye kohl in the mail from MAC because they didn't have my order in stock (

I couldn't get the Smoking collection quads

). Anyway, I used the eye kohl for the first time...again...before the Christmas party...Now, my husband is one of the head chefs at one of those old, hoity-toity Connecticut Inns/Restaurants..And every year they let rooms out for free to any Christmas party guest that's imbibed a bit too much..So I brought the kohl with me (along with a few other makeup items). Hubby got a suite in the Inn for us (we knew we'd be drinking...a LOT

), and I put my stuff up there, and a few times during the party I went and touched up my makeup..Well, in the morning, needless to say, I wasn't feeling well. I think I was STILL drunk!! I gathered up my things, and hubby drove me home. The next day when I went to use the eye kohl, I couldn't find it...ANYWHERE!!! Some maid is probably using it! It DID look brand new (it WAS new..except for the couple times I used it the night of the party..and I sharpened it, too)!! Who knows, I could have dropped it somewhere, too. I was stumbling out of the building! It's just that, I was so mad, 'cause I got that for FREE!!

Well, I just realized that's a REALLY long story to explain a missing makeup item..but, oh well

Re: Ever lost any of your MAC items and gone insane?!?!

My cats also steal my brushes, then growl at anyone who goes near them to take them back. It's like they think they're their babies. I've lost too many brushes that way.

I've lost two powerpoint pencils in the last 3 weeks. I have the lid of one of them....weird

Re: Ever lost any of your MAC items and gone insane?!?!

i hate when i lose stuff!!!
ive lost blackberry eyeshadow. when i last rearranged all my makeup in a new cabinet, i noticed it was gone. now being a bit older than a lot of you, losing things makes me also wonder if i did indeed buy it in the first place

but i've decided im SURE SURE that i DID have blackberry. i remember only liking it sortof ok, but it makes me angry every time i'm at the mac counter and see it on display.....i dont want to buy it again, but it's SUPPOSED to be there.....

Re: Ever lost any of your MAC items and gone insane?!?!

My Crystal Rose l/g!!! I loved that color so much and its perfect for me. Managed to find one at a counter, but I dont know what I'll do when thats gone. Hopefully they re-release it sometime soon!!

Pretty sure I lost while getting something out of my tiny purse (stuffed with as much as it could handle) in a nightclub in Vegas. I think it must have slipped out while I was getting my phone or camera or something. Boooo! So be careful while digging in your purses in nightclubs!!

Re: Ever lost any of your MAC items and gone insane?!?!

this thread was made for me, I keep losing my stuff, especially my l/s. I guess they're easier to loose coz I keep them in my bag for touch ups.

I lost my 3N l/s about 2 weeks after i bought it in January. I looked everywhere but nope....I was really pissed coz that l/s was the nicest nude-y color for me and it was LE. Luckily I found another one in a sales thread and bought in. I also lost my VGV VI l/s about a month ago. I remember last seeing it in one my bags, but I have since searched them all and it's just vanished into thin air!!

I really need to be more organized I guess

We had sat down at a few machines and I had my purse, my mac bag, and a drink. Well we stood up and walked away and were all over the casino. All of the sudden, I realized my bag of treasures was not with me! I FLIPPED out. Full on panic freak out mode. So we're running through the casino...with NO CLUE which direction to go or what direction we had come from. Those casinos are freakin huge and everything looks the same. So I was crying and ran up to this guy in a suit that looked like he worked there. I told him what had happened and he called security in his ear piece. We started walking toward the security office...at this point I was PISSED because I knew someone had picked it up already. Then someone called him back and said that someone else from security had picked it up!! So here comes this woman with my bag and I was like tearing up because I was so happy....you'd think I'd lost my child and got him back or something. Of course I hugged her and it was awkward...lol. It was horrible. But at least I got my stuff back. It was the worst 20 minutes of my life.

I seriously just red this story out loud to my mom- i go "these people seriously get my life." my mom was cracking up... I LOVE IT- thats a hilarrrrrrrious story!! Im so glad your stuff came back safely!

Re: Ever lost any of your MAC items and gone insane?!?!

I've lost a couple things but ended up finding them back in the end. The tough part is that almost my whole collection is LE so anything I lose would be impossible to replace. Unfortunately the only two things I've lost but haven't found are my Sweet & Single l/s and Pink Cabana l/s. S&S was replaced by a lovely and generous Specktra member (much love!), but PC was the latest loss... and such a perfect colour for the summer! I put it into a little side pocket on my purse but I guess I didn't close it all the way as I was rushing out the door. All I know is that it's not there, nor the floor lobby, the garage, the car, my study room (where I keep my m/u), in another purse... that and S&S are the only ones I've gone crazy searching for - up to 2 weeks afterwards! - and have had no luck. *sob* I really hope MAC rereleases it! Even without the green glitter...

Re: Ever lost any of your MAC items and gone insane?!?!

I've recently lost my Raven eyeliner. I just got it with Starflash and I suspect my 16 year old has been using it. She insist she didn't take it.... but i'm still searching.

I aslo lost a foundation brush.. I wasn't as much of an addict back then. I don't even remember what number brush it was.

This shit is too expensive to loose!

Re: Ever lost any of your MAC items and gone insane?!?!

I lost my SE 239 brush a few days ago and went NUTS !

I couldn't find it anywhere !
Then while I was putting on my make-up for school this morning I found it in my drawer with all my lip products .
It was really wierd cause I checked there about 5 times before and I found it today ?

the problem with the MAC lipsticks is the Bullet Packaging ..seriously if you drop a lipstick it rolls away

awww you got a new kitty how cute.....but yea they love MAC lipsticks because they can play with them and they roll around so they like to chase it haha

oh well i cant get mad ...kittys are to cute
but never leave your lipsticks lying around.....not on tables, not in the bathroom lol

Re: Ever lost any of your MAC items and gone insane?!?!

I lost my Port Red

. I was devastated. I looked everywhere for it and of course, everyone took the opportunity to tell me how much they hated it on me and they were glad I lost it. But I didn't care, I wanted my Port Red!

... And then I just recently found a new one for $16.50 shipped and now have it again (A).

Re: Ever lost any of your MAC items and gone insane?!?!

I have lost my Fix+ spray. I keep looking everywhere for it but I can't find it.

I had it when I moved back home for the summer but is lost! That always happens, lol, I tend to lose make-up when I go home and my 2 sisters and mom are around. hmmm...

I thought I had lost my 168 brush this morning. haha it was like 8 am and I was still practially asleep. I was looking all over my desk and in my drawers and even under my desk for it. I found it in the first drawer I checked...grr..

haha I almost had a heart attack though.

Re: Ever lost any of your MAC items and gone insane?!?!

Yup used to get all bent out of shape. So I don't take any of my LE favorites outside my makeup drawer any more. Only the stuff that can be replaced I will travel with. Also as I get older I'm realizing its just stuff there are more important things in life. But yeah I still get bummed out but then I just move on
