Re: How much do you ladies estimate you've spent on your entire make up collection???
Geesh! I need to put it my will, it's worth quite a bit actually. I have chanel e/s, Bobbi Brown e/s, and MAC e/s. Wait, I have Prescriptives & some Dior e/s. I am getting sick just thinking how much just my e/s are worth.

I don't think that I want to know. I am going to stay in denial.

LOL! I keep every single receipt I buy of MAC makeup. SO I know how much I spend. I started collection MAC since end of Sept/Oct of this year. And I've spent almost $2100 total in only a couple of months! YIKES!!! If my boyfriend found out how much I spend on makeup he'd be so upset!!

I have avoided thinking about it but need to buckle down and take inventory for insurance purposes I suppose. Blargle.

Re: How much do you ladies estimate you've spent on your entire make up collection???
Not much at all. I just started with a brand new collection over the summer and I've been slowly collecting. My entire "collection" includes 3 brushes, a sharpener, 1 foundation, 2 concealers, 1 powder, 1 blush, 1 bronzer, 4 nail polishes, 3 lipglosses, 1 lipstick, 2 pencil eyeliners, 1 liquid eyeliner, 3 eyeshadows and a mascara. That's all.

Maybe $275? If you include my caboodles traincase, I'm at $295.

I don't even want to think about it. Last time I tallied up just my Mac lippies it was about a 750, not including my LE lip palettes.

I'm not sure, and I'm also not sure I even want to know. Granted, it's not near a lot of Specktra members (I doubt mine is even close to the one grand mark), but it's still a nice chunk of change to me.

I try not to think about it, and I would never want to post it in a public place!!! LOL

I was just talking to my sister about what would I grab if the house was on fire.......... my car, my dog & cat and my TRAINCASE

Just the fact that I even thought about my traincase made me want to sign up for Cosmetics Anonymous

I have no clue, it's really hard for me to judge. I'd say about $1000?

Re: How much do you ladies estimate you've spent on your entire make up collection???
I seriously don't want to think about total over the last year ..but umh the last two months ...dec/jan ..omg this is fucking ridiculous ..sorry ..i Just started totally up from the last two months ..and umh as im typing I think i might throw up ..the grand total is ....899.50 ~!! holy crap ...umh damn this thread .... let me break it down lol

from nordstrom.com total = 599
from maccosmetics.com total = 213.50
from specktra clearance bin ..through paypal = 87

crap I havent inculded ebay purchases ..umh ebay i think is about 70 bucks..but im gonna try to forget about taht one heh ...

I should add that I have only recently started to srsly build my mac collection ...and also since moving to Italy ...we get paid a bit more money ...like before in the states it was srsly pay check to pay check ... with maybe 200 bucks left over for a month for misc shit ...never really bought non useful stuff like makeup lol...

but here I think after paying bills, putting about 300 usd in savings every two weeks ..we still have about 1000 dollars left over every two weeks ...so hence me spending so much ..but that's about to change ... I have vowed to limit my purchases to about 250 for FAFI ..and under 200 for when heatherette comes out ..and after that not anything else until umh september 08 or so.

plus we are looking into buying a new car and the payment will prolly be about 400-500 so thats gonna take a chunk out of the influx ...and also we want to travel while we are here in europe and if I keep spending the way I have been ..umh gonna leave europe and not seen a damn thing cuz i was too poor to go anywheres lol

also should umh no spend so much for sake of my marriage ..if the hubby only knew the amounts he would have a heart attack ..like for reals

Probably way more than 5,000...I've been collecting MAC since High School and I have TONS of other crap drugstore and high-end. Last time I checked (before Xmas) I had over 170 lipglosses alone..not lipsticks, LIPGLOSSES. That is INSANE.

Re: How much do you ladies estimate you've spent on your entire make up collection???
Well, for MAC, I would have to say somewhere in the vicinity of $1,500 but I don't like to think about it because then I think what I could have bought with the money! And the sad thing, is that this is since August, when I discovered the joy of MAC.

Overall, it would be really hard to estimate how much I've spent on makeup, since I have been buying it since I was about 10, and now seven plus years later..... It is really scary to think how much money I've spent on makeup since my love of it began. What would be even scarier would be to calculate the amount of money that other people spent on makeup for me, like my mom. GAHHHH!!!!

Re: How much do you ladies estimate you've spent on your entire make up collection???
My collection is worth about $4500 I think, but I haven't spent more than $200 on it in the last couple years. I'm proud. Lately I've just been replacing essentials, I have so much that I need to put a serious dent in it before I can start buying again. That and I'm a student with no money.

I don't want to admit this but prob and most likely between 5K-8K

I have been collecting all kinds of makeup (low and high ends) since I was 16. I am 27 now. LOL
