Are You Over Protective...

[Viva_la_MAC_Girl]

with your MAC?

Let me tell you how bad I am, I do an inventory with my m/u to add things or to do a count cause sometimes I put stuff in other purses ( just to keep track of myself , not to mention the money thats invested into my collection..) Sometimes (when I go out ) with other people they will be like hey can I borrow that and i'm like sure - no worries.. I KNOW where its at. Well this past weekend I went out with some people and this friend ...( dunno after this ) asked if she could USE IN MY HOME a lipgloss I said sure - no worries. Thinking I didn't have nothing to worry about well the next day I was putting the makeup that I took out that night back - to realize that some of my lipglasses were short - so sure enough I revert back to my inventory and sure enough my Oh Baby & Instant Gold were missing...WTF so I called her and I said hey do you have my OH Baby and my Instant Gold - she was like ya I do .. I was dont you think you should have told me? She was like oh I forgot... Hmmmp. Well I told her that I was doing my "inventory" she was like what? "Thats crazy you keep inventory on your MAC - your so materialistic") UM - no just smart cause of how I PROTECT whats mine. Anywho -maybe she didnt think I wouldn't notice?? Cause I have alot in there??? OY!

Sorry for my rant....

So my ? is are you this protective over your MAC

 

[Eye<3Colour]

well that was crappy of her to do that!! she prob didnt think you would notice. i dont have that much mac, so i can see right away what is missing. but i do, do that with my clothes!! i know exactly what i have, in what color, size, etc. and as soon as something goes missing, i go crazy!!! lol. i call up the friend who was over, and im like dude where's it at!!! lol

 

[foreveratorifan]

i haven in inventory of mine as well on excel! LOL

but i'm sorry, its rude to take things without asking, UNLESS she was stealing from you (which is what it sounds like to me!) and that doesn't make you materialistic...you tell her its an investment and she is no longer welcome to borrow from YOUR investments!

 

[glittergoddess27]

Yes,. that would have been instant death (I suppose you can feel good cuz I am a whoooole lot meaner about it) and I would NOT have called, I would have gone over there to collect it and in my mafia-like way broke her knee caps to remind her not to "borrow" without express permission (Screaming "Thou Shalt Not Steal"). Okay so I need a padded room,.. but yeah,.. I don't mind people coming over and using my MAC any time,.. I have tons,.. or stuff like that,..but it had better never walk off,.. and I keep an excel inventory also,.. but I have everything stored a certain way so if there is a gap or blank place I know what is missing right away.

WTF?! I would have been pissed! It isn't too much to ask that you know where your MAC is at all times, bc quite honestly it cost you a lot of $$ to buy, so you want to be careful with it.

Im pretty overprotective and I dont let other people use it. The only pepole i let use are my friends because I trust them. Not that I dont trust my mom or my sister. Well, I dont trust my sister. But - Im pretty overprotective.

 

[mel0622]

i'm not really over protective probably because people dont use my mac, and i'm not really comfortable having other people use my makeup. cuz u know germs and stuff. but if its my mom or really really good friends then i dont care as much.

if they every borrowed stuff then i would check everything. cuz i dont want them to be like 'i gave it back to you' when they didnt type of stuff.

Oh ya I went the NEXT day and I got it... I think she was surprised that I noticed - HELL ya - I did! Now - they are right where they belong. FTS - I won't let that shit happen AGAIN.

 

[bluegrassbabe]

I totally understand. My Sister in law took my chicky lipglass out of my traincase. I noticed it was gone a day later. I just about lost my mind. I made my DH call her and demand it's safe return. I don't mind when she uses my things in my home, but taking it with her, without asking, was not an option at all.
I've attempted to explain the whole LE concept and why some things are extremely important to me. I'm still not sure if she gets it.

My best friend - sure ** I trust her ** but never again... lesson learned.

I'm so overprotective of my MAC. I lost my vegas volt, and I'm heartbroken... I know it's in my house somewhere, and I've been digging and digging for it! I don't want to rebuy it because I know it will turn up as soon as I do.

I totally agree! Thats what happned in this case - but never AGAIN!

 

[pushhupsindrag]

i think i totally am the only people i let even touch it are my friends cause i know they wouldnt do anything. i dont even let my mom touch it. and after anybody comes over (besides my friends) i always check to make sure its still there.

 

[mandirigma]

that's pretty stank that she just grabbed two of your lipglasses and ran off. On top of that, the whole thing of borrowing lipglass is kind of icky to me. and i'm not saying it's on you, but that somebody would ask you if they could straight borrow a lipglass is weird. i'm not even all that anal retentive about sanitation in general (ie., i don't have an issue with swapping shadows or anything), but unless the person is my mom, i'd never ask a girl if I could borrow her lipgloss.

that said, i try not to hang onto my stuff too tightly. if my mom or aunt or cousins like one of my colors a lot i usually just give it to them. but even that almost never happens, lol.

 

[ledonatella]

Yeah, I have have an inventory and I watch who uses it and stuff, like if I take it to work the other girls always wanna stick their fingers in it and I'm like NOOOO!! But I'm like that with pretty much all my makeup not just my MAC, although more so with MAC.

 

[jmvuitton]

You should tell her to buy you new ones since god knows what she did to it. I keep inventory of pigments and e/s since I have over 100 e/s and over 60 pigments and I could never remember everything I have. I used to keep lipglass stuff too but I sold some recently since I never even used them so I just deleted the inventory for that.

 

[anuy]

first of all i can't believe she had the nerve to do that! i do have an inventory but i usually notice when something is missing. i let my friends borrow stuff but only a select few that i completely trust. sometimes i'll even give them things i don't want anymore. but steal from me and i will never let you borrow anything let alone have anything.

that was sooo stupid of her.. but its her loss because now shes lost access to your collection!

 

[aziajs]

I am overprotective. But I am like that with all of my stuff. I take good care of my things. A lot of people don't take care of their things and have no concept of how to treat others' things. So I am always like "don't do that", "hold it this way", "be careful". People think I am a selfish, crazy, %@#&# but I couldn't care less.

 

[Christina Victoria]

I know how you feel. Today in class, my best friend asked to borrow a lipgloss. Well, she wouldn't stop smearing it all over her fingers and then onto her lips, and her and my other friend were really hyper for some reason. They were bouncing and laughing, and next thing you know my lipglass is being chucked around. Erika (my friend) threw it against the wall and it broke. Last time I ever let them borrow anything.

Same here - everything.. but once burned - a lesson learned.. I do - maybe thus the reason i'm protective with everything! But that really chapped my ass and it won't happen again - unless like I said it was my best friend... thats it. No your not selfish you care about what you have.. thats all I totally respect that!
