Mac Pigment Addiction...

[xxainixx]

like seriously! im addicted. i know that i wont finish up the whole goddamn jar in my lifetime but i want to get them all!!

im a broke student but i will still squeeze money out to buy them, looking at swatching them makes me happy.

anyone have this addiction?

does anyone know of a rehabilitation centre?

I've finished jars before.
I've finished a dark soul, vanilla, violet and melon.
Some that are getting empty are Smoke Signals, and Landscape green (mind you I gave a nice sample of this to my friend).

I don't own pigments for now, but i'm about to get them and i don't know where to start lol. I just want them all!!! That's so crazy!

i'm nearing finishing vanilla. i use it as my highlight colour so thats why. its such a versatile colour... theres a video on youtube where a girl explains all the uses of it. you can mix it with your moisturiser n stuff like that. i sometimes use it as a cheek highlight.

I love looking at pigments too! I want to play with them but the MAs in my MAC store don't give pigment samples and I can't bring myself to buy a whole jar. I wish they would sell smaller sized jars bc one would last a lifetime for me!

 

[Shoegal-fr]

You may buy samples, they last not that long, but it's fun playing with them!

I like pigments more than eyeshadows.The colour pay off is better and they are more shimmery

But I'm afraid they will expire before I finish them up

I saw somewhere that they are good for 3 years... this should give you enough time to finish them, no?

 

[Shaquille]

Shoegal, yes.. but if you have tons of pigments of different colors and you don't wear the same color everyday, they won't finish in 3 years

I have this addiction as well. But instead of buying the entire jars I tend to swap and buy per teaspoon sizes. I do buy a couple of full jars but then I swap and sell them..

I have more pigments than I do eyeshadows.

Pigments are how I found love with MAC.

I only buy full sized pigments that I absolutely love and will use on a daily basis. As for the other colors, I buy samples of them.

I KNOW i have this OCD addiction with mac pigments i think i have almost every pigment that MAC has ever made -_-. I've gotten halfway through with your ladyship pigment in just 1 year. I finished a vanilla pigment in 4-5 years. I also got halfway through with sunndaze and coco pigments but its been yearrs since i had them.

I love the MAC pigments! I love using Vanilla everyday and I'm not even finished with it. I also have Dark Soul, Off the Radar and Electric Coral.

 

[duch3ss25]

LOL, tell me about it! If a collection with pigments comes out, I actually cut my morning coffee & snacks budget just to have a bit more money, in case I love the pigment so much that I want a back-up or two!!

I know I will never finish any of my pigments but just looking at them when I am feeling mad or depressed is enough to make my day a bit calmer & brighter, ha ha. I've come to thinking that I don't need fishes in an aquarium (supposed to calm you down while feeding them), I just need to open the storage for my pigments & start arranging them by color and all the worries in the world just disappear.

LOL.. This is why I love coming to Specktra! My friends think I need an intervention for my MAC addiction, but here everyone has some kind of MAC addiction, which makes me feel absolutely normal

Yes, I am addicted to the pigments and my eye makeup is not complete without it. Girls gotta have a bit of bling bling on her eyes!

i just started getting into pigments i bought my first 2 full jars at a cco and i just bought spiritualize from metal-x and im hooked they are soo gorgeous and the color pay off is deffi better then the eyeshadows and im looking forward to getting some more and i didn't think they pigments expired.. do they ?

 

[BunnyBunnyBunny]

I have lots of pigments and glitters and even more samples of them but I rarely grab for them unless I specifically need a certain color. They're just soooo much harder to work with!

 

[sweetie0716]

All cosmetics expire!! The powders last longer than liquids, but they still do. I wouldnt throw away my pigments after 3 years though.

I use them daily and I use them for more than just makeup, or even just on the eyes. I've done a lot of nail polishes with them and I love them in lip glosses. I also do a lot of theater facechart runthroughs on myself before I do them on someone else (or if it's for my costume then I do). I use/used a lot of pigments wet as liner too. It just kind of all adds up.
