Is there a MAC range you haven't bought from yet?
There's loads of 'ranges' from MAC i haven't bought from yet though i've tried everything at counters and makeovers etc so feel like i have used them anyway but just don't need them or haven't had the chance to buy them as new collections lure me in and there's just too much of other things i want!
I've never bought a -
Shadestick - always want to get one but even Paints crease on me and i know Shadesticks are more likely to crease so never got one yet, but i think i will buy a neautral one soon to wear over UD PP like i do with Paints
Fluidline - been planning to get these but then stopped wearing liner all together and now want to get one again and then hear about Liquidlast liners so i'm going to wait and see!
Mascaras - I was going to get one after a makeover but then discovered MF Lash Perfection/Masterpiece!
Lip Laqueres - With trying to find some good Lipglasses/Lustres and lipstick shades i haven't had time or money to get these but i have my eye on Acrylika and one of the pinky shades.
Pigments - i've got loads of samples but never bought a full size jar as i'm trying to figure out what shade would be justifiable to get a whole jar of - so far thinking Melon and Vanilla. And hoping for a wearable warm pinky shade to come out one day.
Fragrance - i'm hoping to get one one day but it's something i always forget about and i never get round to testing them at the counter either to figure out which one i'd like. I'd love a vanilla one that smells like the lip products.
Those are the main ranges i can think of that i've never bought anything from yet. What about you guys? I think most other people here have got something from every range!

Ok, I haven't tried some things sinmply because my MAC store is an hour away and when I do get there I'm like crazy because I'm like a kid in a candy store so sometimes I forget about things that aren't bright and sparkly like:
Foundations: I just haven't tried one because I'm very picky what goes on my face and I have one that works now so I'm not messing with it
Lip Lacquers: I tried one maybe 8 years ago and haven't picked one up since so I consider myself a newbie to these still
Primers :I have an eye primer that I love and don't care about lips or face primers
Eye Kohls: I love my powerpoints and am afraid these will be smeary so I am chicken to pick one up
Blushcremes: Just prefer a powder I guess
Bronzers: Except for the bronzing stick that came out with Belle Azure (which I never use since it's a cream), I have never tried a MAC powder bronzer since I have my HG and won't switch
Beauty Powders, Irridescent Pressed/Loose powders: I have my MSF's & Pearlizers so I just figure that I don't need these too
Wow! There's more I haven't tried then I thought....maybe I'll make a trip up to the store when Sundressing comes out and plan on playing a little longer

Umm lets see:
Prep & Prime Lip, Face and Lash - I don't see the point in the Lip and Lash but I'd love to buy the Face one day!
Lacquer - They never attracted me!
Chromeglass - Too chromey!
Pro Longwear - I'm still on the fence about them but I really want Preensheen!
Tastis - Umm those names and the imagination that they're named taste is on my lips makes me want to puke!
Glitz Gloss - They do look cute in the pot but I'd have no use for them!
Cremestick Liners - I want Smoothberry!
Brow Set - Hmm do I really need this when I can have regular hair gel on my eye brows?
Fake Lashes - even some of the fake lashes are too short for my long lashes
a bunch of Foundations (SFF, Moistureblend, Studio Stick, Hyper Real) - I think I found my HG foundation so there is no need for me to try anything else!
Blushcremes - I fell in love with Sweet William but I always forget to pick it up whenever I'm at my counter!
Nail Lacquer - I don't paint my nails!

(my gosh VV, how can you live w/o Chromeglasses?! They're awesome! Plus, I think Show Coral would look great on you, you rock the peach/soft corals!)
Lip lacquer - have one, haven't tried it yet
Foundation - hardly use it and if I were to, MAC wouldn't be what I'd choose
Pro Longwear - dying to get Alta Moda though
all powders - though am getting my first powder blush soon
glitz glosses - I can't believe I'm about to say it, but am mainly over glitter and this
got dreadful reviews
cremestick liners - would like to try but liners aren't an urgent thing
mascara - don't use it so often, think I've found my preferred brand for it
fragrances - but would love to sample Dejarose
There is probably a whole bunch of pro type stuff I've not listed, but you get the idea.
powerpoints - forgot to list these! I don't need them because of the awesome fluidlines!!!

I think for me it's easier to list the only products that I have tried...
Eyeshadows - I LOVE them!! The only other brand that I love as much is UD.
Blushes
Lipglasses & Lipgelees - The vanilla flavor is so nummies.
Pigments - can't go wrong with the concept of crushed up eyeshadows.
Paints - I'm still on the fence with these. I've got super duper oily eyelids and I still need to use the UDPP with them.
Matte - When I first started getting into make-up and MA suggested using this on my eyelids, but it did nothing to help with the creasing.
Brushes - I love getting the holiday sets!!
That's it that I've tried. I just ordered one of the sparkle pencils with my Sweetie Cake haul that's being delivered today (assuming the evil UPS man doesn't drive around ALL day with my package - he likes to do that). If I like Iris Accents, I plan on getting Ultra Chill and Peacocked. The weird thing is with the few "ranges" that I've tried, I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything. And although I haven't tried that much - my collection is definitely not lacking!! I haven't posted it on here, but it's in the multiple thousand range when I add in my BE and UD and other higher end brands - god that's scary to say

I've been buying MAC since high school (just haven't been ALL ABOUT MAC until now, LOL), so I think I've actually tried these before, just never got into buying more.
Blot Powder - actually, I lie. I'm getting one after class today.
Lacquer - I kinda lie about this too. My cousin got me one for my birthday a few years ago and I like the texture of it more than the lipglasses but I never really got into buying more. Maybe someday.
Pro Longwear - Said cousin swears by these but my lips are huge and they get really dry really easily. I can't even wear any MAC lipsticks besides lustres, so I won't even bother with these.
any of the eye pencils - I'm pretty sure I tried one in high school? In any case, I'm more into liquid liners now. I have used Fluidline and I liked it but it was too much trouble to put on. =/
Fragrances - I already have too many in rotation. The MAC ones just never interested me.
Prep & Prime - I'm intrigued though. Maybe sometime in the near future.
Mascara - Actually, I know I tried this once in high school and it wasn't impressive. Found my HG anyway.
I feel like there's more but I can't remember.

1. Nail Lacquer- As a person, I usually don't paint my nails a lot. But, I must admit I like and want a lot of the colors. I just never get around to purchasing them.
2. Blushcreme/Cheekhue- I'm terrified they will break me out.
3. Pro-Long Wear- I second the aforementioned statement in that they dry large lips. Plus, they flake off on me when I tried.
On a side note, People need to love Lacquers more. They are pretty awesome, ladies

Shadesticks-- don't really interest me, I like paints better
Lacquers-- the shades are meh
Pro Long Wear-- I've seen mixed reviews and they're kind of pricey for what you get if you don't like it
Nailpolish-- I only really paint my toenails and I usually stick to OPI

paints- never got around to it
mascara- i love my badgirl one
lacquers- same as paints.
pro long wear- seen mixed reviews
nailpolish- i love opi and it's hell of a lot cheaper
blushcreme- i'm like a living oilfield and the last thing i need is to have my blush sliding off my face
fragrances- ooh, all of them made me break out in an asthmatic attack!
cremestick liners- never did
brow set/any brow pencils- espresso eyeshadow works for me
there might be more right now, but i'm actually trying to get some work done!
