I meant to take these photos ages ago, because I finally organized everything back in March, but alas, time is precious and I wasn’t able to find a chunk of time until this afternoon! This post contains photos and brief descriptions of my MAC Cosmetics products.
Check out all of the photos…
Blushes, lip palettes, eyeshadow palettes, eyeshadow quads
“Homeless MAC” — products I recently purchased, basically
MAC lipsticks
MAC lipglasses (and sigh, more lipsticks!)
“Rarely Used” container of MAC false lashes, pigment samples, extra foundations
Loose eyeshadow pots (that need to be depotted someday), liquid last liners, and a lone shadestick
Pigments
More pigments; beauty powders/loose powders/bronzers; paint pots & fluidlines
Prolongwears, eyeliners
My four blush palettes
“Everyday MAC” container is filled with products I use whenever I do my makeup–like foundations, brushes, blushes, mixing medium, etc. The container filled with Neo Sci Fi (bright orange packaged products) is products I have in rotation; I tend to do a lot of looks using the most recent MAC launch, and those products have a home here (and then get moved over to the “Homeless MAC” box when the next launch comes out!)
Holiday MAC from 2007, 4 blush palettes/5 eyeshadow palettes
Five eyeshadow palettes
“Oops, Too Much MAC!” box contains all brand new MAC products–a lot of them I just forgot to play with! I also pull from this box when I include MAC products in Temptalia giveaways! (I also have about 2-3 boxes filled with non-MAC products for giveaways, not pictured–duh, secret!)

Christine
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
LOL! I got a LOT of it before we even moved in together, when I didn’t have any bills of my own to pay, except makeup, LOL.

LOL! It is pretty to look at!
Rosa

Oh my, super lovely!!
Do you think keeping eyeshadows in palletes makes them easier to use? I’ve been collecting since last year and I’m almost to the point where I can’t find colors!
(Or is there a way to steal those eyeshadow display things from mac? That would be awesome since it’d involve not depotting, haha. Any ideas??)
Oh and by the way, how’d you store your lipglasses/lipsticks before you had enough so that they’d stay up like that? The too-much-stuff is starting to become a problem with them too :[[ haha.
Christine
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
Hey Rosa!
For me, I have to keep them in palettes, otherwise they get shelved and forgotten about. It’s way easier for me :)
When I don’t have enough, I put them in smaller containers (I have some cheap square containers from Target that are smaller) or else lay them horizontally!

Christine
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
lol, I’d love to see yours, Viv!
viv
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
oh and i was wondering.. why are some of the e/s pans square? :)
Christine
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
I depotted them from MAC’s holiday palettes (which come with 6 shadows that are square pans!).
Stacey
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
:) Looking at other people’s collections gives me a warm, happy feeling, lol.
Christine
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
LOL! I like when I see someone else’s collection that’s HUGE. Then I don’t feel bad!

At least I am comforted knowing others have bigger collections!

Hey Christine! Where did you buy the stuff to organize? I’m in the process of reorganizing everything b/c it’s just overflowing and there are alot of “homeless” things in my bathroom right now.
Also, what is the stuff in the aqua blue packaging? What collection was that?
Christine
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
I think the clear plastic bins were from the Container Store, and the other bins are from Ikea. The silverware drawers are from Ross (so cheap there!).
It was from Lure/Sunshrine (I can’t remember if Lure had bronzers, or Sunshrine only!).
Pia

love it…..i really love to look at other peoples collections
mine grows fast too with all the collections mac brings out lately
Christine
Wednesday, May 28, 2008
Thanks, Claudine! Me too :)
It’s easy to grow a collection with 4 coming out a month, lol!
Trace
Wednesday, May 28, 2008
Wow, Christine.. that is impressive!! Awesome collection, I’m totally jealous, lol.
I just started mine so maybe in 4 more years I’ll be a bit closer to your caliber of massiveness, haha..
Christine
Wednesday, May 28, 2008
Thank you, Trace :) Definitely! You’d be surprised how quick it grows, and truly, my MAC collection is large, but it is on the smaller side for a lot of addicts, actually.
Susanne
Wednesday, May 28, 2008
What an awesome collection!! Thanks for sharing.
Christine
Wednesday, May 28, 2008
My pleasure, Susanne! Figured it was about time, lol, people were starting to ask me to update!

So true! I love looking at other people’s stashes :D

Wednesday, May 28, 2008
Oh Christine….
Thank you so much for this. I love looking at other collections, makes me feel more normal, seeing that I am not alone having that much stuff!!!
Christine
Wednesday, May 28, 2008
Sure, Nell :)
It’s good to know we’re not alone, right?
claudia m.
Wednesday, May 28, 2008
omg, i’m insanely jealous of you!!! Just kidding, you inspire shopping and looks and outfit coordinating, THANKS!! I love how everything’s organized, I tried last week and all I did was spread my stuff around and pile it on my face then put it back into different cubbies and now I can’t find my faves lol =)
I’m feeling a little down today and this pic isn’t helping. I STILL can’t wear powder or foundation and it sucks sooooo much. Imagine only being able to wear a *little* cream or liquid blush, then having to wash it off immidiately when you get home =’(
I DON’T heart sensitive skin.
Christine
Wednesday, May 28, 2008
Haha!!
Thank you Claudia :D I am an organize FREAK! I am always on the hunt for a newer and better way to store things.
Ohh, you poor thing!! Is it just a temporary thing about the powder/foundation?
claudia m.
Wednesday, May 28, 2008
Nope, I’ve always broken out when wearing make up over my face. The only thing I can freely wear is eye and lip stuff. Sometimes it’s a blessing in disguise, I buy only 1/4 of the products I like!!!! =)
Christine
Thursday, May 29, 2008
That’s so awful, Claudia :( I guess it keeps your wallet happy though!
Melissa
Wednesday, May 28, 2008
Hi Christine,
When you go out do you carry a large purse all the time to accomodate the palletes? I haven’t depotted my e/s or blushes because of that.
Christine
Wednesday, May 28, 2008
Hey Melissa!
Nope, I don’t. I have a small purse, and I don’t really carry any makeup with me! I think I have Lil’ Sizzler lipgelee, Fuchsia Fix TLC, and I might carry whatever lipstick/gloss I wore for the day.
Lydia
Wednesday, May 28, 2008
Hey Chrsitine,
Oh my gosh! I don’t think I can consider myself a beauty addict anymore cause your collection is so huge lol!
Christine
Wednesday, May 28, 2008
LOL, pshhh!!! Addiction has nothing to do with size, it’s about the love ;)

Wednesday, May 28, 2008
UHM…do I see a star on one of your brand new packages…as in, dresscamp palette???? How could you not have opened this yet!!! I am dying for it!!!!!
Christine
Thursday, May 29, 2008
I bought an extra DressCamp palette for a friend, but I think it fell through, lol!
Candace117
Friday, May 30, 2008
oh my good lord…I keep rubbing my eyes in disbelief! LOL
I was so taken with fashion lipglass that I didn’t order one, and I kick myself almost every day. Not even for missing out on the cute packaging, but the colors inside mainly! They are perfectly me! I’m so stupid…
Christine
Tuesday, June 3, 2008
lol, Candace!! The palette is cute, but not musttt have, promise!
Ashley
Wednesday, May 28, 2008
WOW now that’s a collection!!! I have a question though do you ever throw anything away???
Christine
Thursday, May 29, 2008
Thanks, Ashley!
I don’t usually throw things away – I give whatever I can away if it’s going to go bad before I get a chance to use it.
Alexa
Wednesday, May 28, 2008
wow i thought i had a ton of makeup.
i have like 1/3 of your collection
how do you depot the eyeshadows to put in the palette?
do you burn it with a lighter then break it out with a knife? cause whenever i do that, the eyeshadows break and crack
Christine
Thursday, May 29, 2008
lol, Alexa!
I use the lighter/knife method. I found that the trick is to make sure you really get the glue to be melted down, so it’s easier to get it out. I think I’m about 1 broken for every 15 depotted? something like that. I know the flat iron and oven method are less destructive.
Rubi
Wednesday, May 28, 2008
I just stumbled on your site the other day after looking for a way to wear my mutiny pigment, I am new to MAC and I soo love your site! I am already jealous of your collection. Must hit Macy’s after work today.
Christine
Thursday, May 29, 2008
Hey Rubi! Welcome :D
What’d you end up getting at Macy’s?

Christine
Thursday, May 29, 2008
Hey Angie!
I have done several in the past, though I’m too lazy to go dig up some links. I tend to not have the time to get giveaways together, but I try to include MAC here & there!

Can you depot blushes? I have so many and I can’t really find them all.
Christine
Tuesday, June 3, 2008
Yes, you can, actually :) Just like eyeshadow, just larger!
Liah
Tuesday, June 3, 2008
Totally irrelevant, but how do you clean false lashes? I tried leaving them in scalding how water for half an hour, and they just turn wrinkly and impossible for re-use after that. And this has happened to me twice, just after one use! I hope you can help me! :( I use Ardell lashes, which have the invisible lash band and it doesn’t put much weight on the eyes. I’ve yet to try MAC ones though!
Christine
Tuesday, June 3, 2008
You can try using an eye makeup remover, but it’s hard to remove the build up (maybe an adhesive dissolver?).

Hi there…out of curiosity, how much have you spent on your collection? I’m guessing it’s hit the 20 thousands? Maybe?
Christine
Tuesday, November 25, 2008
I really couldn’t tell you! I don’t keep track of it. I don’t think it’s $20,000, though, LOL.
