I suppose that most of the people on here 'mac addicts' will have spent a fair amount on make up. I know I have. I can't afford mac but I borrow money to afford it. I know I always want more and it's obviously not all going to get used up any time soon. I do a bit of freelance here and there which helps me make money and use up the products I have bought, but to think that I could have bought a car with the amount of money I've spent on mac over the last three years is scary. I think specktra is the one place where there are other people who are as bad as me in this way.
It's ridiculous that we all have so much because of course we aren't going to use it all up. And Mac will only keep bringing out more lovely things. It's a slice of luxury for me. And whenever I haul I feel a sneaky rush from it. And I'm not going to lie about it and say I feel terrible. I feel terrible when I think about the money, but I still don't think I regret it. I love all the new collections and colours. It's more like I'm collecting it I think!!
I've tried to 'shop my stash' but it just doesn't give me as much joy as going out and buying a brand spanking new eyeshadow!!

I feel bad about it.. Cause i like something so much, then i buy it, and in at least 30% of cases i end up not liking my new stuff.. i mean, i do like it, but i raelise i've just wasted money to an eyeshadow i gonna use once in 3 months.. It makes me feel really down. Plus, here prices are higher - Pigment is like 30$.. I feel bad about buying mutiny, its a gorgeous color i had a great make up done with, but i dont wear blue shadow. i dont even wear shadow all the time.. Id rather saved it up.

Ha ha - mine is convinced there is a new collection almost every week too - and that it all looks the same!
Absolutely dread to think how much I have spent in the last couple of years. In fact, I'm positive I just don't want to know.
Put it another way. I used to go ballistic if anyone wanted to count how many pairs of shoes I had. Now it would be how many eyeshadows, lipglosses.........you get the picture.
One of my friends would rather have new makeup than food when cash is tight. Scary thought that one....

The thing that i feel most bad about is when the packages start showing up at my door! Cuz then my whole family sees it and they realize just how much money i spend on mac and i don't want the mail man to think i'm a spoiled brat or something! lol. i mean, i do pay for all the mac that i buy so i should be able to do whatever i want with my money, but it does come and haunt me later on.
