How much is your collection worth? - Page 3

I've actually tallied it up, but that was several months ago - not sure about MAC only, but my total is about $8,000. And about 90% of my collection is MAC.

I don't want to know. I just don't want to know!

approx. $130.50. likes i said, i have the most pathetic MAC collection ever. it's grown a teeny bit since i posted my pic (at that time containing only a 266 brush, bare canvas paint, blacktrack f/l, parrot e/s, swish e/s, beautiful iris e/s, and satellite dreams e/s) i've now acquired wonderstruck (♥♥♥!) and springbean lustreglass along with nocturnelle e/s. ♥

I'm thinking probably around $3,000.00

It could be a bit more, it could be a bit less.

However, reading this thread was a reality check! If I've spent so much in not even a year, I had better sloooow her down. :-P

Also, now I'm feeling the need to get a job again, to...make more money, to buy more MAC.

I am so conflicted!

EEEK!

Curiosity got the better of me. My entire MAC collection cost at least £17 500 (GBP). That was where I got bored with counting. And there was me wondering why I've been struggling to save money for a deposit on a house! I did a brief tot-up using US prices as well. Until I got to more than $22 000, then I kind of lost the will to go on!

Some statistics...

Including duplicates and backups I have...

121 (full size) Pigments (that's £1815 alone)
54 (full size) Glitters plus 4 mini glitter vials from Delish
4 Pigment/Glitter Petites Sets, (the 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005 sets)
33 Pre-made quads (i.e. 132 Eye Shadows)
282 Eye Shadows in pots or depotted
30 Pro Pan Eye Shadows
18 Snake Eyes or Colour Theory large Eye Shadows
7 Mineralize Eye Shadows
17 Eye Palettes and 11 Face Palettes (containing a total of 143 Eye Shadows)

So, that makes, including all palettes, quads, pots and pans, a total of 612 MAC Eye Shadows. Yikes.

159 lipsticks (not including any in palettes, this is just counting the tubes. This does include the lipsticks from the Treasures sets though).
12 Prolongwear lipcolours and 4 additional gloss coats.
91 Lipglasses, lipglass stains, lustreglasses and lacquers (again not including any in palettes)
8 Lip Palettes
41 Paints
27 Eye Khols
22 Skinfinishes
20 Glitter Eye Liners
35 Lip Pencils

And the list goes on. It's a long list.

I always knew I'm at the more serious end as MAC collectors go, and I was in a really well paid job when I bought most of it, but I'm still surprised by the total. And this is just my MAC collection... I also have a heap of stuff from other brands.

A bit over $600. Pretty good, since that is starting from 2002.

LadyLaundale · 01-12-2006, 07:29 PM #57 (**permalink**)

GHastly question, and mine is aroun $2,500. F-ing frightening!

sincitylulu · 01-12-2006, 09:06 PM #58 (**permalink**)

I would have to say at least 2k

mymymai · 01-12-2006, 09:35 PM #59 (**permalink**)

Oh man, I am just salivating over here over the sounds of your guys' collections. I have a small collection compared to you guys: around $550. I've been collecting since about December. I doubt I'll ever go past the $1000 mark though... being a student (and now an unemployed one) sucks!

kelliescellie · 02-23-2006, 03:11 PM #62 (**permalink**)

Some have been collecting for years though.

I have been for a while and when I added up mine it was only about 3K or so..I think I would have a heart attack if I found out I spent 8K or 22K. That is a down payment on a house or new car practically.

Dear lord. For the sake of modesty, lets just say that I have A LOT. Thousands. But in my defense I *did* sell my house last year, and went on a spree of sorts. I spent around a grand in one day, for my birthday last year. But besides that, the actual number dies with me!

*shudders* Also in my defense, I'm an aspiring MU artist, so... It will all be OK. LOL!

Now you guys see why I'm on a no buy, and shortly, a swapbreak!
