LE Things you love, by Collection...

[AudreyNicole]

Did you ever go back through color stories since you started with MAC, and think back on each collection and what you bought? And then think about what you have used often enough to make it worth your purchase? I look back on all I bought since I started collecting, and realize that I probably only should have purchased 1/4 of the stuff I bought. There is so much that I don't use or have sold off. When I think about it... I spent $14 for an eyeshadow, and used it once, but can't part with it because you might want to use it later.... If you feel like joining me, go back through the color stories ( found here http://www.specktra.net/forum/f250/m...tories-112226/ ), and list your "I'm really glad I bought that" items

It will be fun to see

I started collecting in January 2006. Here are my favorites from each collection - it is amazing to see how much smaller my LE collection would be if it contained the things I used enough to be worth the cost...

2006

Danse: Aire-de-Blu pigment (just got this today from a CCO and I am in love with it...it is so pretty with Moon's Reflection and then some Reflects Gold glitter)

2007

McQueen: Pagan e/s (a lot of people hate this, however I love it because it is so subtle, it's easy to pair with a yellow shade or a light blue shade)

2008

Fafi: Belightful iridescent powder (I wear this almost daily, like a bronzer but also as a highlighter to make my collarbone look even more prominent), Flash 'n Dash lipstick (how I like a red)
Heatherette: Style Minx l/g, Hollywood Nights l/s, the pigments (Jardin Aires, Pink Pearl), the glitters (3D Silver, Reflects Gold), Alpha Girl BP

Keep in mind I have missed out on a ton of the LE collections...
