I understand lazy, sometimes my goodies (especially Chanel) spend untouched a month or more in waiting for perfect lighting, then I go more lazy in printing!! I don't print as much, I wach them in the PC and then I tend to store them in external Hard Drives.

On the swapping thing, I couldn't leave any of my goodies, it'll break my heart!! I have the hardest times trying to pick up my makeup for traveling because I hate not to have all my babies with me!! That's for some days, I couldn't bear to let one baby of mine to be gone for good!

You took words out of my mouth!!


yes i can't swap or sell my stuff either! even if it's something i don't use often i'd miss it if i no longer had it!

I used to be very emotionally attached to my items too, and I still am for the most part. But there are some stuff that I really do not like, and there are items that I have used only once (some are even brand new) and I know that I'm never going to use them again because they just sit in my drawer all day long. If I don't use a product for 3-4 months I probably don't really need it; I have too much makeup anyway. I think it's a waste when products go unused, I'll rather swap/sell them to someone who might give them more love. And as a poor student, swapping is a great way for me to get new products without paying for them. So it all works out well for me.

Oh, and I really love Ensign lipgloss, but I don't want to buy the whole set just for that one gloss (which I probably won't use too often anyway).

Good for you!!! Deep in my heart I know it's not really healthy to be emotionally attached to objects, but I can't help it...

Maybe you can ask for somebody who is willing to swap with you...
Can you believe here in Mexico we still don't have Mischief Makers???

I would recommend Cool Capers too but I would also recommend you to wait until they appear in CCO's, so that you can buy 2 sets instead of 1. I bought last year's pigment sets in my CCO for half the price

I was going to skip this but the warm mini pigs contain nothing but colours I do not have in my collection so I got it as a sample set to see if I need to track down any full sized ones. ;-)

I am a very very bad bat!

I agree with Lou. If you are not feeling them, just skip them. Remember Spring Colour Forecast

Don't be tempted to buy something just because it's there and you can afford to buy it. I think MAC plays up this temptation pretty well, but we gotta learn how to resist, especially if you plan on collecting MAC in the long-term. You'll go broke in no time if you keep giving in to temptation.

Thanks girls!! You give excellent advise, but before reading your posts I ended buying the mini glosses, but only because I didn't have minis and I do travel a lot. I'm such a gloss lover and such a bad packer that I always carry around 20 (well, to be honest, i'm a make up addict who carries half her collection) and my hubby is getting tired of paying the extra weight to the airlines...so with the money of the extra weight of my glosses for one holiday I paid for the mini glosses.

I made a compromise to myself to not use my palettes and my mini glosses when not in travel so I will get excited to get to use them and not to pack anything else. I hope I stay strong!!
