Don't give up on the pink apertif. My local counter still has it (apparently several) and I bet others might as well.

Not getting all of madame b when it came out. At the time my pc was broken so I didn't see any of Risa's mouth watering pics. (It's usually her who makes me want to buy EVERYTHING.) By the time I went to see it for real, house of fraser had already had their event and everything was sold out except plum e/s and madame b and monarch l/s's. It's ironic I missed this collection because it's probably my favourite this year, if not ever.

I also didn't get parrot when it came out and was lemming it like a mental case for a couple of weeks. Thankfully a friend of mine was on hols in the states and she picked me up two - one of which I consequently swapped with turbokittykat for a metamorph e/s. (Guess I could've sold it for a billion quid, but I wanted the metamorph badly.)

I'm also wanting quite a few nail lacquers right now that I didn't get, such as up mode, feelin' blue, petunia etc. I got a cheap aloe aloe last week from girlyshop but unfortunately the colour is great but it chips like a bitch. Not usually an issue with mac nail polish.

It's probably one of my favorite shadows. Oh, and not buying more Lipglass Stains and (especially) Tastis when they were out. I was on a general Lipglass strike at the time and more or less totally passed these up. Hopefully I'll be able to find some at a CCO while I'm out of town soon!

Same here. I wish I woulda got backups of Impish lipglass, but at that time I didn't know about LE stuff.

my biggest regret is not knowing about mac sooner! I stepped in when tantress was up... I hate it that I missed salsabelle!!

Not getting
Celebrity blush from Icon collection, and the brushes just cause I love pink.
Coco and deckchair pigments from D'Bohemia

Have to agree with you there, and I hate we get the collections months after USA sometimes, for example C-Squeeze is only just being released next week.

Missing out on the High Tea collection.

 

[canadiangirl_1117]

Missing out on the Salsabelle Collection. While I have Parrot, I need more. And Guacamole!! I've been trying to get my hands on a Guacamole for-EVER now

My regret is having a mortgage and a child and passing up on stuff b/c we just didn't have money for it. The xmas palettes for example. I wanted them, I asked for them for xmas, got gift certs, but by then, they were sold out

I told my hubby which ones to get, but he thought gift certificates were better so I could pick out what I wanted. I also was shown the MSF's with the high tea collection, but at that point, I was into e/s and turned my nose up at them. Now that I have 2 from the goldplay collection, I am kicking myself that I missed out on So Ceylon. Grrrr. Stupid. Since the xmas incident, I have made sure just to buy everything I wanted, and worry about what holiday to assign it to later. I used my b-day money for d'bohemia, mother's day gift for belle azure etc, etc. I'm using our 6th anniversary at the end of the month for Idol eyes. My xmas gift this year wil be the holiday sets. It's a good system.

I basically want everything they launch, but since I can't buy it all, I regret lots ...

 

[Shannyn]

My biggest regret is not getting Parrot. I remember when it came out I wasn't really into MAC at all and I remember sampling it in my hand saying that it was a pretty color and I loved the name and then I told myself I would get it another time. Little did I know...

 

[sigwing]

The other day I sampled some of my Parrot & Ingenue Blue next to each other on my hand. At least on me, the IB is the unfrosted version of the same shade. Has anyone else noticed this?

(Sorry to be off-topic with that observation!)

 

[Wontpayretail23]

I did buy parrot but at the time I was so into Paula Begnouns books about how no one should wear blue eyeshadow I swapped it away. I'm so mad at myself now. I'm so glad I got all of the tantress shadows.

 

[enka]

I regret that I back uped l/d "Sweet Inspiration" from the Diana Ross Look only once. I've used my frist one allready up (I wore it everybay in spring) and my back up is also half empty now.

 

[FacesbyNiki]

I haven't had one yet.

 

[eponine]

i regret being on a mac no-buy when high tea came out. what the heck was i thinking?
