Who else thinks MAC is being a tad ridiculous?

[GlamYOURUs]

with all of its new LE collections coming out? Its so overwhelming. I am totally for a new collection to come out every month but having 3 in 1 month is WAY TOO MUCH! I am getting tired, annoyed and frustrated here. I feel like selling all my MAC just to buy the new stuff. But not only that, I feel like buying a stripper pole and strut my stuff for a fee. Or, robbing the MAC counter after hours. Who else is with me here?

I'm in! I'm going broke!

I sometimes feel the same way, however the best thing to do is to shop smart. That is dont get sucked into all the hype and buy colors that are unique and that you will get lots of use out of. Otherwise, imo, it is completely useless to buy colors that you can find in your traincase with slight differences...so in all SHOP SMART. Oh and yes you can always "strut your stuff" and feed your addiction lol

ITA! It seems like everyday when I sign on here there is a new collection being posted. This poor single mommy is gonna have to get a 2nd and 3rd job to afford all these goodies

I'm getting a bit fed up too. I rarely buy that much from LE collections, but at the moment I don't even have time to enjoy the stuff I bought before the next batch comes out.

I am with you. I feel like i need to find a job that pays me a 100.00 a day just to purchase the MAC LE these days. I feel like the MAC Collections are getting better and better these days. And it is getting harder to restrain from trying to purchase everything from every piece of the collection.

 

[tripwirechick]

I have been thinking the exact same thing since yesterday. I am actually really angry about it! It seems they are getting too money hungry because they know we will fawn over new products. If the stuff didn't look so pretty I would so boycott MAC!

 

[shootergirlnc]

I agree, but even with LE items, most of the time they're still on the website/stores a month or so after the collection. I won't "rush" to buy anything unless it's something like the Heatherette collection, where you know they'll sell out fast. I buy what I can, when I can, and if it sells out, hold out hope my CCO will get it, or someone will be selling what I want up here. But I do agree that with so many collections coming out, it sort of takes away the fun of it being LE. As someone mentioned before, you don't have time to really enjoy your products.

Amen honey! Although that won't stop me from blowing my next paycheck on the next few releases that will come barreling our way...*frustrated sigh*

Why, why, why don't they spread out the releases more? I mentioned that to a friend who works for MAC and he even goes, "I know, try memorizing all of the individual products for every single release. We have a hard time keeping up with them too!" LOL

 

[Divinity]

I agree with shopping smart and getting colors that are not similar to those I already have. In MAC's defense the number of addicts has multiplied and they are just meeting demand. So really, the problem is with the consumer to choose not to buy, but if anyone here is like me we say 'But it's pretty!' and we buy it. Damn!

 

[Hilly]

ITA!!! It is pretty overwhelming!

 

[kobri]

Yup, they are totally trying to bankrupt me! I just have to remember not to get overwhelmed in the store and buy too much of one collection cause another is right around the corner. oh well atleast this will bring lots to the CCOs

 

[b3AuTiFuL323]

I now I was thinking about this last night.I started to get angry because im not going to be able to buy everything from every single collection.

 

[glam8babe]

yeh i feel the same... its harder for people like me who dont work so its quite dissapointing when i can only chose a few things from each collection

 

[KikiB]

Count me in, it's hard to cut down because there are so many things I want from the collections, and I'm also trying to maybe get a perm item here and there...but you have the Dazzleglasses which call my name on a daily basis! Then you get 800000 different collection pieces in a two day period and it makes it harder.

I mean it does help that I don't wear foundation and I am very picky on blushes, and I don't do dark pigments. Thankfully I AM looking at getting a second job...and having to get three additional traincases. I bought one the other day and it's already overflowing.

 

[-moonflower-]

It is getting a bit silly. Especially for those of us in school/uni.

I find that I don't really buy the permanant products, only the LE ones. But luckily enough my counter isn't very busy so they normally have LE stuff for a good few months.

 

[mochajavalatte]

LOL How do you think us MAC artists feel?!?! Trying to keep up with every new look is hard

every day I"m like ok Dazzleglass...but wait, my Naughty Nauticals pigment...gotta throw on some Skinsheen....!!! It's fun though, that's so not a complaint!

 

[Xqueeze_me]

I am with you, GlamYOURUS.

At least you all in US/Canada don't have to pay AUS RRP, which is 50% more than US RRP.

 

[toby_is_cute]

I totally agree. I am already over Naughty Nauticals and I have not even bought anything from it yet (planning a Memorial weekend MAC shopping spree) There are so many new collections I feel like I need to pencil them in my calendar so I don't forget anything. And I am pretty new to MAC so there are plenty of permanent things I still want to get. YIKES!!!

 

[MiCHiE]

I think it's more overwhelming for those who have to use these items, i.e. makeup artists and such. The rest of us have a choice. You can buy or not. I know it's been super-easy for me, since I'm trying to buy a house and nice things for it. Obviously, my first priority right now is not MAC. I haven't bought anything since Heatherette.
