How often do you buy MAC??

Welps!! Since I work less than a mile away from the F/S store so I was going once a wk spending at least $100/wk... But now my boyfriend is paying for my MAC habit, so I guess with him paying for it now its at least $300-400/month... depends on how happy he is that week. LOL

Well, the frequency of purchasing MAC products has certainly increased since I became a member here. In the past 6 months, I've probably been to the MAC store 1-3 times a month. Before this time, I'd only shop there once every 2-3 months.

I try to keep it to one haul per month. However, for some reason I don't like buying it in one big purchase. If they're on different receipts, from different stores, somehow the total doesn't seem as bad!

It was every few months at first cause I was broke before, but once my income started increasing I bought more frequently. For a short period of time I started buying almost every few days. You know... a little here... a little there. Then it started to taper off to once a week. Now its more like once a month or whenever a new collection launches. I got to the point where I pretty much have almost everything from the perm line so there really isnt a reason for me to buy unless its from a new collection.

I buy something at least once a month so my collection is growing slowly though it has "blossomed" thanks to all my swap on MUA! I trying to keep away from the new Barbie collection!

I usually buy from every new collection. It seems that since they come out with new collections so often that all my staple MAC products get neglected so I don't by those too often.
I buy waaaay more than I should but I guess there are worse addictions!

I'd say just about every week. I visit my counter about twice a month, spending usually around 100-150$ each time. I go to CCO about twice a month as well, and spend about 50-100$. I also go to Sephora twice a month too. And I'm spending about 75$ there.

It's an addiction!

When I first got into MAC (about 10 years ago), I went crazy and bought hundreds of dollars worth of stuff. My collection grew to nearly 100 shadows, many glosses & lipsticks, MSFs, etc. Then, I just became disinterested. No longer had the desire to visit forums/blogs to get a sneak peek of upcoming collections, stopping going to my local counter. Guess I figured I had everything I could possibly need, and realized it would take forever to use up everything I already had, so why even look into anything new?

I started to purchase MAC a couple years ago but it was only last year when I started to buy fun stuff like lipsticks and eyeshadows from them. Once that happened, I would buy probably once or twice a month. It would be variable because sometimes I may only buy a lipstick or 2 and other times, it would be a bunch of stuff. The collections don't exactly help my case either...lol!

I purchase 1x month and I try to keep it at max $150 or so, I like to buy everything at once, I find I have a better grasp of what I have purchased and how much I have spent that way. I also love me some Chanel so :shock: poor wallet. I also don't want to go overboard and lose the specialness, sometimes when you go overboard you can lose interest,and I definitely do not want that to happen. :eyelove:

but I'm starting to like the build your own palette and working on making palettes that work well with my skin throughout the winter tones / summer tans! I've tried to buy only ONE thing when I go but usually buy like two lipsticks and a shadow :p

Normally, about once or twice a month or whenever there's a new collection I'm interested in... but sometimes I could go a couple of months without buying anything from MAC.

Meh, maybe once or twice a month. If I'm feeling uninspired, or think my collection is missing a staple item or color I'll go to MAC. They are good for staple products I know I'll use regularly. I rarely indulge in the collection rush but love their standard line. And brushes! I'm slowly but surely collecting their brushes.

When I have a ton of receipts laying around I start to feel so guilty lol. They could all be for $1 and I start freaking out like "I'm spending like a fool!"
