Bottom of the pan freak out

Do you freak out and order more of your favorite MAC product once you can see the bottom of the pan?

Twice I thought I was running out of something because the bottom started to show and bought more when in reality theres still so much left!

I especially notice this with studio finish concealer. That stuff last so long!

I bought it in Feb. and since then have used it almost everyday since. Needless to say, I still have some and haven't had to use my back up yet.

My latest 'bottom of the pan freak out' buys have been:

Lovelorn l/s (theres still a little in my old tube, gotta dig it out!)

NW45 Concealer (because i love this stuff so much running out is NOT an option!!)

MSF Powder Deep Dark (I use this as foundation so I gotta have it! My new view MSF will be delivered tomorrow :)

I'm also running low on siss l/s to and sweet as cocoa blush.

If I keep this up it'll take forever to use my pans for back to mac!

I've never really experienced it, but I think some of them I might.. for example, I am totally extremely in love with gulf stream, so now I am thinking to buy a back up while they still last..
so I'll only freak out on the 'LE' stuff that I really really really really like.. 'cause u'll never know when u'll ever find them anymore..

Well I am freaking out because I am about halfway down on my beloved Flash-n-Dash...that's the closest. I was smart and bought backups for both Style Minx and Hollywood Nights, even though ironically I haven't touched either in some time. The only item that I have hit pan on is Crystal Avalanche, but luckily I can always get more. When I hit pan on Solar White, yeah I will freak out but I can always just use CA which is what I did before.

I am reaching the bottom of my pan on my MAC bronzer. I have never seen the metal pan in makeup before! I've used it everyday since march and there is a 3/4 inch hole in the middle. I wish I knew how much longer it will last.

I definitely need to get a new one!

Totally.

What's the weirdest (ok, most unexpected) thing you've hit pan on? Me: Bitter e/s! Can't believe I used a whole one up!

Yeah I've been there.
I've learned there is a lot left though, so as long as it's a permanent item, there's no rush to buy.
I've got several things showing pan now, but I won't repurchase until I know it's almost done.

I freaked when my Zoom Black mascara and Prep/Prime Lash started to dry up a little. They still had some life but I went and got new ones any way. I used them for a few more days then threw them away and cracked open the new ones.

I have two of my fave gloss [Big Baby plush glass]. I still have about half a tube left on the "old" one but I have the other one anyway because I use the newer one at home and the older one when I'm going out. Gotta have it at all posts! LOL

Oh! I also bought a back up of Comet Blue dazzle glass. I love it so much so that I use it very sparingly. LOL I don't want them to run out too quickly!

Only if its LE lg or l/s..... honestly once i start getting low I stop using it entirely! I have about 10 LE lipglasses that only have about a third left. I stopped using my Dazzelglasses until they become permanent! haha! But I loooove hitting the pan on e/s! I love that they look used and if I see a dip I will use it everyday until I see silver!

The only time I've ever actually "freaked" is when I bought my new blot powder, came home, walked into the bathroom and proceeded to drop it on the ground shattering the inside into tiny little pieces. I was super pissed.

lol, I've only hit pan on one thing, cubic blush. Only because it was the only blush I had for the first three and a half years of makeup for me, along with a clinique blush that I also hit pan on.

I don't think I'll ever hit pan on an eyeshadow, I use different ones everyday. I may hit pan on patina e/s tho, it was my only highlight before I got Solar White!

I think the only things I will ever hit pan on are the eyeshadows that I have dropped and tried fixing. They look pretty beat up. My waternymph was dropped after only using once, and I have about a third left

i only do it with powder products - once i hit pan i know it's time to buy a new one. this means that i then buy myself a few weeks of time to get to a counter and get the replacement.

well luckily i don't have any metal showing yet in any shadows however my silver ring is looking very used and has a dip in the middle so i'm getting stressed just at the dip! which is so sad but can't help it! but i love silver ring and don't think i can cut down on weraing it.

Ive been pretty good about it, when I do get to the bottom I wait until I'm actually finished the product before I go out and by another one, this is especially true with MACs skincare, which I use everyday and go through more then the makeup.

Yikes. Most of my shadows are LE and I would seriously freak out if I hit pan on any of them. Sadly, I think that Belle Azure might be the first one to reach that level... I'm hoping that it will reappear as re-promote one day.

I have used up around 3-4 MSF Naturals, a Moisturelush cream, several Cleanse Off Oils etc... but I don't really get worried about those items since they are perm. It kind of excites me actually because it means I get to take another trip to MAC soon

I used about a Blacktrack and bought a new one... still don't need to pull it out yet though. I have about 25% left of the other one. There is liner all around the sides... LOL. Also, my foundation and Fix +... even though there was still some left. I could have waited a few months and used the money to buy something else.
