Im a new MAC collector but recently beeninvesting in more products...used to get anything from Sephora/Ulta ranging from Too Faced, Urban Decay, Lorac, Chanel, Dior, Buxom...I could go on but now that I think about it, my collection is in the thousands...Im a bit ashamed but ohhhhhh its so pretty and I just love makeup!!! I justify it as a form of art and healthy expression ;)

I cant even say how much my collection has cost me, with sweating, lol.i have a true love of Mac and few other brands that have weighed heavy on my wallet. If i had to give a rough estimate easily 5000. **faints**

Ahh! I don't even want to think about it. Probably around $4000. I haven't gone crazy over makeup in the last year. I have only been buying some things here and there.

I don't consider myself a makeup junkie anymore. I only purchase what I truly fall in love with or really need as when I ran out of foundation or powder. I have been making lots of changes during the last 5 years. I try not to have more than 3 foundations, more than 3 powders. I got rid of all my MAC shade-sticks that were untouched and pencil eyeliners. 2 times a year I sell all my unwanted, similar colors, or unused lipsticks. I have sold mostly all of my MAC Limited Edition palettes. I have got rid off 90% of my other brands makeup from Smashbox, Tarte, Urband Decay, Too Face, Nars, Benefti, Etc. and it feels AMAZING!!!

I still have tons of eye-shadows and lipsticks, but I keep them because I truly love them, wear them, and enjoy them a lot. I got rid off my guilty, save a lot of money and don't mix makeup with depth satisfaction anymore. I can go to Sephora or Ulta or even Mac and walk away with just 1 item or none. I DON'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT HOW MUCH MY COLLECTION WORTH IN $

Should I/we be embarrassed?
Only if you can't pay your bills.

I have somewhere between 600/700 worth of stuff including brushes and nail polishes...a lot if from the drugstore and I got rid of bits I didn't use... Otherwise it was closer to 1000

The only thing I've ever added up is my kit, that I have itemized for insurance and taxes. $7656 is where I am currently at and then maybe another 2 or 3 grand for my personal stuff? Yikes!
