so you ever look in the mirror while your painting your pretty face and look at all your stuff in your over stuffed case and think.. how much money did i actually spend on all this!!

yea i have and my collection is about an eighth of what most people's is on here and i counted a lil over a thousand dollars (horrible isnt it? im over due to buy something lol)

so if your bored - take a look at your stuff - you should probably know how much each item is - eg: eyeshadows = 13.50 (right?) add that up - how much is your obsession costing you?


- DISCLAIMER - no drama please! im just trying to make a fun thread!

OMG!!!!!! I wish this wasn't posted!!! I started adding up and I'm well over $10,000. I stopped adding...I got scared!!!!!!!

Yes, I'm a bit of a collector...I have every quad & palette ever made plus most pigments and a gazillion other items as you can tell! I'm a bit embarrased now!!!

I only moved to a city with a MAC store this September and my collection has rapidly grown. Before I owned under 6 items...now it's worth like $2500.

I have over $2000 in eye shadows alone. I didn't add anything else up because it was getting ridiculous.

Eeeeeee I don't know... Probably less than 10 000$ though, because I spent less than that in the last 2 years! And that's not just MAC stuff... for everything together.

dont feel guilty or embarassed!! its something you love! never feel gulity for what you have just enjoy it!!

I came up w/ around 2grand. But that's pretty good considering I'm 16 and have only been collecting for 3 years! Also, brushes really rack up the cost.

I clean mine out regularly, so mine probably isn't TOO bad(under 10K). Once the drawers start getting full, I pare them down(once every few months).

Mine is the same as a semester at my university. I discovered this recently when I had trouble paying the tuition bill and figured out why. I picked up a second job though! and I've never looked so good

i'm too scared to check

It was 3.5 grand this time last year...not sure what it is now. I dont want to know

Well, I figured the actual, original retail cost was around $2500. (I have pared down quite a bit compared to last year, though. Too much I never used...It was probably a good thousand more before I weeded stuff out.) 80% of my collection is LE items (quite a few of them are pretty desirable on the ebay market lol!) so if I were doing it for insurance purposes I would estimate it closer to around $4000. Sadly MAC only accounts for about 30% of my collection. I'd hate to see what it would be if I added it all up.....*shudder*

If you feel REALLY guilty, I'll hold on the car and the makeup for you. ;D

I think my collection probably totals about $150 worth... I'm trying to be restrained.
