While it seems that I buy a lot, I'm actually always very selective. But when I buy, I purchase multiples

I think I do the same. I consider my collection to be well edited to my tastes and the things I love to wear. I have very few items that I feel are mistakes or that I can probably do without. I prefer for things to be organized, so I don't like a lot of stuff for the sake of having stuff. I do buy a lot of what I love, but I still think my makeup collection is small. I could probably fit everything inside of two shoe boxes.

I know, just teasing! What has been your MOST backed up item?
Have you ever posted a stash pic? I bet you need two rooms to house everything

I am getting better with my selections every week mostly with the help here. I have made far less mistakes this year than previous years. It's hard to resist highly coveted items but if they won't work... they won't work!

Same here!!! Every now and then I will get lucky with the highly coveted ones.

I'm probably just going toget to 2 l/s the most and I don't know what mac was smoking when they priced the lipglass and eyeshadows.

Yeah, it's on par with special packaging and price increases. I thought the e/s was regular sized... at $22 that would've been insane! But I'm thinking they will be the pro-long wear size since those are currently $21... add $1 for special packaging and it's $22. In that case, not as bad.

Those are Dazzleglasses. They're normally $19.50 like Cremesheen Glasses, so they added an extra $2 for the packaging. Hmm, I just noticed it's $2 more instead of $1. I wonder if this is because of that satin packaging Naynadine mentioned.

They will make more money if you buy them as individuals. I don't see them making quads really anymore? It seems like they transitioned the duos in and now are favoring those..

I dunno about that, really. They had three great quads for Shop/Cook earlier this year, and then they had duos last year with Colourizations. I think they'll keep it mixed up.

those duos are a scam. there's always a crappy shadow that i dont like and they are so hard to depot. but i agree mac's credo now is MONEY!

Yeah, but nothing since or before in 2012 (I think, right?)... only 3 quads this year? They used to have a new one once a month!

$40 for a quad with 4 shadows = $10 a shadow
$27.50 for a duo with 2 shadows = $13.75 a shadow

then if its a duo like the Culturalized one...with 2 perm colors. its actually cheaper to just buy 2 pro pans of them.

i would probably depot them anyway.

Yeah i know it's dazzleglass, but what gets me the packaging isn't all that why so much satin packaging? I hope there is going to be more pics as this collection gets closer to releasing.

Yep! And the duo is worthless after prying the shadows out. The old quads you could reuse, but not these! They end up a melty mess.

did you see there is a way to get them out without heat? you can use a dropper and get alcohol under the pan (doesnt matter if it gets on the shadow, it will evaporate)...it eats through the glue and you can get them out without melting them.
