Well, I bought mac a couple of years ago I got one shadow and a blush prism - (I still have the blush) I only got obsessed this spring out here in Kansas where there is nothing to shop for but mail order. I love makeup though. I used to spend about $50 a month at walmart on cheap makeup and beauty stuff- I guess its smarter to invest in a long term product like mac, right? Except I've been spending more than $50 a month since I found specktra and the aol makeup board.
