Yep! But hey, it's a harmless(AND FUN) habit as long as we know what we can budget each month. Yes, I have a problem with that as well.

OH GEEZE!
we are so in the same boat...

I set aside $200.00 per month but the last 2 I have spent $500 per month. I am generally paying standard US price but still!
you guys are getting pro LOL


The bad thing is I am chipping into life savings for makeup... thats not cool.....


I used to just buy from the monthly collection one order that was it, now Im going back for seconds, chasing things i missed etc etc... meanwhile I have a drawer of unopened products........... half the freakin time I think its the chase we all want


ARGH!

I hear ya. My iPhone notes area has sectioned off notes of things I WANT, and MSFs and MES that I have(that way I don't dupe those). But my wish list is a lot longer!

I think it was Pemily that recommended an inventory app. I am looking right now, and there are two... Makeup Inventory and Make-Up Kit.
They look ok. No reviews for Make-up Kit and Makeup Inventory has so-so reviews. Are you going to try one?

my iphone is chocablock full of mac wishlists
one for eyes
one for each collex
one for brushes
one for lipsticks haha


I have both the apps you ladies are referring too....

I use the makeup inventory for all my mac and plan on using the other for my chanel, nars, ysl etc....


I have emailed the creators (and been in discussions) in regards to improvements for makeup inventory... i.e - having a search function so that you can search a product name rather than scrolling around etc etc.....

if anyone wants screen shots or anything of either do let me know :) happy to help.

My monthly budget now is 100$, 50 for mac, 50 for other brands. It might seem little but it`s enough for me, I have all the permanent brushes, fluidlines, most of the es, all the blushes i want from perm, liners,( plus the LE from the last yrs) etc I still want a few ls and undecided about a few es. So my money goes to LE or refills. BuT i found out I`m not easily swayed by the new coll because I have so many prod, I`ve been buying almost every month for the last 4+ yrs.
The trouble is mac is losing the love and other brands gain it and they are more expensive :( And the drugstore brands seem to have stepped up their game and they are not all bad!
Till autumn this is the coll I`m most excited about, moslty because of the msfs

I hope that kiss has the most abnoxiously bright lipstick on! lol
Well I think i might have to do a monthly budget..... what's reasonable? hahahaha I'm spending like 300 every month...... NOT kidding!
Me too. Moving from one order / haul to another. My husband is getting desperate. He has been telling me over and over no make up until October

Too bad I have Android. I would love to have those apps. Now I use Out of Milk to set up wish lists (and to alter them over and over again) and I keep a list of all the prices, but these would be better. Does anybody know any good apps like these for Android?

My list for this collection is not very long so far. Fingers crossed it will stay that way. I think I might get

Mineralize Skinfinish:
Earthshine - Tarnished bronze with gold pearlized pigments and pink reflects (maybe)
Light Year - Peachy pink with gold shimmer
Star Wonder - Plumy pink with multi-dimensional pearlized pigments
Center of the Universe - Coral with gold shimmer

Mineralize Blush:
Solar Ray - Peach and gold melange
Ring of Saturn - Terracotta and gold melange (maybe)
Stratus - Amethyst and golden brown melange
Supernova - Magenta and burnt gold melange

Probably will cross out one or two. I really want to cut down...

I am really eager for the Dutch MAC site to get an online shop too. That is... I hope that if or when we get that perhaps I can start ordering with Pro Discount without travelling 200+ kilometres.

It would be great to have a Pro online store at least in one European location (valid for all EU countries). I don't think it is going to happen any time soon though...

I use Android too. I'll have to search for a makeup app.

I actually dreamed of this collection last night and i was running around the mail going to haul it, but there were several palettes that are not actually in the collection that appeared in my dream. They had these side slide out compartments with smokey eye shadows. lol. I remember thinking of all the eye shadows i wanted. lol. I know i am on MAC overload when i am dreaming about it.
