How much do you spend on MAC ?

[MACActress]

Im not sure how much in 2006, but that's definitley when it started for me. All I bought in 2005 was Parfait Amour, which was the first item of my collection. Since then I have bought a lot more, and usually end up spending about $130 for each collection. I predict the same with Lure/Bait/Hooked, maybe a bit more with She Shines, and I will probably get all 6 MSFs if budget allows in July, and then Patternmaker, lets just hope I dont like Turquatic, and that MAC will quit releasing stuff until Fall =P

depends on the collection- if there is a lot of stuff i really like, i try to sell off stuff i haven't been using to buy the new products. i do want a couple of the she shines piggies, and some of the new MSFs (if they're in colors that will suit me). I'm hoping to keep my makeup spending under $200 for the whole summer

I usually spend around $150-$200 on only because I am new to MAC this year and had almost nothing. THe most I ever spent at once was on Sweetie Cake and that was $174.00 and honestly the only this I really use from that collection is Pink Meringue lip glass!

i get on kicks.
i only get stuff online that I "know" then get new stuff, or anything unfamiliar from the fs store.
it is really hit and miss. i thought i would have gotten a lot more of the sundressing line- then irl it ended up that i didn't, but i expected the opposite from sweetiecake-mainly because the model made me feel uncomfortable, but the quad rocks my world and i am still using the heck outta blue sprinkles...
anyway it usually averages $100-150...but how often fluctuates.
my husband would die. he once found a $60 reciept and said"what do you need with $60 worth of makeup. "i said it will never happen again."
LOL, it wasn't a lie, since I never spend that little

I guess about 500€ I started at the beginnig of 2006 so I had to buy a lot of older LE and disc. items from the internet.

I buy in spurts. Every October I buy all the holiday stuff I like (last year about $300) as my "Christmas gift" from my husband. Then in November, part II of the "Christmas stuff" came out (at least $150 more). I really didn't ask for more until the next year, since that is a lot, just a couple of items here or there I bought myself. Then in Feb, a visit to the CCO (another $350). I waited patiently until Sundressing. (Under $100 there). Then I placed my Pro store order ($200 with discount). In all fairness, I didn't get any Lure stuff or She Shines. I am getting something each collection from Avant Gold on since the colors seem good for me. I taught two shifts of summer school to prepare for this summer, so I'm really tired but happy.

I usually keep it $100 or less per month. With the collections coming in July and August though, I may stretch that budget to $150-$200 depending on what I like...

 

[mzcelaneous]

It really depends on the collections or what's available. Buuuutttt ever since the Lingerie line, I've been spending $75-$150 a week!

hmmm, I spend about $400/month on MU, usually half of it to 75% is MAC MU, mainly because I do makeup for some of the military spouses around here, and they like waaay different colors, but also, I buy other brands like Kryolan, Ben Nye, Lancome and Stila, but it doesn't hurt to have a full train case or two!!!

I'm more about trips than actual time frames. Typically I spend $80 each time I go... during the school year I'd swing a trip twice a month... but lately since I've gotten off I've been doing about a trip a week... oops

 

[mactard]

i've spent like $5000... mostly because a lot of stuff is overpriced on ebay but i'll spend it if i really want the limited color! (parrot)

how much did you pay for parrot?

 

[LadyLaundale]

Like many other members, my spending is now geared around the LE collections. I've pretty much gotten everything I want from the regular lines, save for a few things I plan to get with my pro discount. I would say it averages $150 each collection, depending on the size of it. Or frequency. I skipped She Shines, since I was tapped out from Lure (and unemployed). Now that I have a new, better paying job, and a PPID card, I will probably spend more. So sad.

i'm proud of myself for cutting down. i haven't bought anything since LURE (that's a big deal for me) and i'm not planning on buying anything until amuse...i still love MAC and all, but i've leanred to resist the LE temptation, because i know i was only buying it because it was LE, not necessarily because i HAD to have it

 

[bozica]

Way too much. I've bought at least half of each collection this year, except turquatic. What can I say, I'm a sucker for LE stuff.

 

[ashley_v85]

Close to half of what I make. Hahaha. It's bad.

 

[FireLily0]

Well - since I am still trying to get my collection built up probably atleast $300 per month. Unfortunately there is a PRO store located about an hour away from me so I will probably drop a couple hundred on those wonderful PRO pigments very soon.... plus the LE lines. Then theres also a couple of CCOs around me as well.... help I am addicted.

Oh, it truly is disgusting. I spend so much on my mac stuff, I could probably buy a new car by now. My grocery budget is less than the makeup budget. However, my happiness is priceless!!
