What do you do w/ your precious LE items?

[stellarx1587]

I was just curious about what everyone else does w/ their LE makeup. Do you use it regularly like any other product? Or does it get "special" treatment? See, I'm a loser... and I seperate all my LE and perm. makeup. My perm makeup I'll use on a daily basis, throw away the box, etc. BUT my LE makeup stays in its box in its own special section in my bathroom in perfect order. If for whatever reason I break it out, I'll neatly take it out of its box use it and put it back. For the most part I don't use a lot of it and just stays there looking pretty. That's a big waste of money IMO!!! I know I gotta put it to use.... but I don't have the heart to do it!!! Am I crazy??? Hahaha!!!

haha. well, you're probably no crazier then anybody else on this forum! That might not say much though...

After I buy makeup (LE or perm) I also feel guilty throwing away the boxes and putting it in my big messy makeup box... sometimes the item will get special treatment for a week and get to sit in its box on a shelf.. then eventually I throw the box away and add it to the collection.

It depends. If I bought it to use, I use it. If I bought it with the idea of possibly using it, I keep it separate from my everyday items.

It's all in my drawer, in their original boxes, LE or not. I take care of every single thing I own.

I tend to use everything I buy, I'm just a bit more careful with my "special" LE stuff, like my Sexie lipstick.

i treat all my MAC babies equally- they all get the same amount of love from me (except for older items, where i wish using them up would be a bit quicker).

I use my LE stuff just like anything else. My first E/S i bought was LE and I didn't even know it at the time. It'll prolly be the first pot I hit pan with cuz I love the color heh.

I figure by the time I run completely out of it, there will be another color similar or a re-release. Plus I try to use all my color equally now that I have enough shades for several looks, rather than just the 1 look I had when I first started collecting, so each individual pot gets less wear and tear than if i used it everyday since i'm constantly changing colors.

i use 'em just like i do the regular products.. nooowwww if it's running low and i'm on my last backup,

then i use it sparingly

and no u r not crazy! i keep my unused LE stuff in their original boxes too

 

[caffn8me]

I'm with June on this. I use them until they get low.

 

[aziajs]

I mix my LEs in with the permanent stuff. I take good care of it all. It's stored well and I am careful when I use it so no worries there.

 

[KJam]

I treat it like anything else, and depot all of my e/s (including Parrot). It's made to be loved and enjoyed, and I love B2M

 

[Naheed]

I don't care. Chances are, MAC or some other makeup line will have come out with something just as good when I'm done.

 

[Cool Kitten]

i use them like any other MU...I don't really care that they're LE, they're just MU to me.

 

[xBROKENxHEARTSx]

I use them like anything else, except some things I save for bad days

 

[mzcelaneous]

I treat them all equally EXCEPT for the ones that are in special packaging (Tantress, Belle Azure, Icon: Diana Ross and CD, Patternmaker, & Lure). Now those are kept in their original boxes and are organized in a special section

 

[Lalli]

i take care of them but then again no point in just leaving them around so i do use em but usualy on special occasions or if im in a mood to make myself feel sexy

 

[theleopardcake]

no special treatment, i just try to use less of them lol i don't want to run out!

 

[lara]

I use it. What else am I going to do with it?

 

[AudreyNicole]

I buy them, store them with the rest of my makeup and use them. Even when I run out I figure it was nice while it lasted then I start stalking the swap boards and sale posts for them.

 

[liquidsirenhoney]

i use them just like any of my other products...but i always have that thoguth that i will be devestated once it's gone...but then there are always so many new collections i'm sure i would find a way to get over it....
