I know! The boxes were really cute! But I did end up cutting them up

I usually put my stuff in alphabetical order so I know where about it is in the drawer. But the half-cut boxes really do clear up a lot of space.

I really like to experiment with different varieties - it would be so boring to wear the same look every day! Who can say what is "enough"? Everyone should decide this on his own. I know that my "end" of collecting still hasn't come... (Other people collect stamps or whatever.)

Thank you, you girls are too awesome!!! It's really hard for me to pass on limited stuff too, although I find that I don't always pick up the lipstick and glosses now, unless they really catch my eye. Or if they have special packaging...for some reason that ALWAYS lures me in. But eye shadows, MSF's, and oh goodness, PIGMENTS!! I need (and I mean NEED all of them

) lol! I really like having the variety and being able to make my sister's makeup as wild as I want for her competitions, she ALWAYS gets complimented on how well her makeup looks on stage. I've done so many people for Halloween and I NEVER have to worry about not having that one color that will make the makeup shine.

I love make-up and when/if that love ever dies, I will have some pretty happy (and lucky) friends and family

Those are from the sweetie cake collection I believe. They are glosses and if I remember correctly the design on top was lipstick.

It's so hard to use these because they are just so pretty! I think they pop up here in the sales threads and on ebay every now and then. I love unique products too!

I thought it was sweetie cakes but I just looked at the collection page and the first collection I went ALL out on was Ornamentalism, but I did buy stuff from earlier collections, not realizing at that time that the pretty things on the displays were limited. I didn't even realize that make-up companies even did that lol. But I bought quite a bit from Belle Azure, Sparkle-ize, Naturally Eccentric and a few others. I didn't really NEED everything back then, although looking back I want to kick myself for not picking up certain things! (and not realizing certain items were limited

)

lmk if you have any other questions

Unbelievable, very great collection.

 

[Sabrunka]

Woah that's amazing, I don't even wanna know how much money was spent on that lol!!! I have like 1/50th of that collection and I know I've spent around 1200!

I know exactly what you mean with "It's so hard to use because they are so pretty".
I am still sad that I didn't organize enough Barbie back-ups last year. This is my favourite collections and I LOVE the female icon on the shadows and blushes. That's why I don't use them (well, there are enough other e/s and blushes I can use

).
Unique MAC products are more then just make up for me - it is a kind of "art" if you can say that?

Thanks! They are actually nail polish stands

I got them from a seller on e-bay named custom_display but they don't have any items right now

You could probably contact them, their prices were reasonable, I believe.

Thanks girls!!

I actually just started freelancing with MAC last September. So most of this stuff was actually bought at retail, CCO's or w/my pro card after I got it (about 2 years?) So I am definitely a serious mac-aholic lol!

I've been into MAC about 10 years but didn't start "collecting" until about the time the Ornamentalism collection came out.

The traincase was a DIY project I was working on. I printed out mac images and decopauged (sp?) them to the outside of my oldest train case (which I now regret because the bottom was already on it's last leg and is now busted

) I bought the decopauge paste at Wal-mart and went to work. I put a few layers on the very top though so it would seal and not get ruined if I had it in the rain.

It's like seeing what winning a piece of a mac lottery would be like! Thanks again for sharing! I had to go back a few time to look at it all again! Colour me jealous!
