I’ve never had a big huge haul. I always do little mini hauls lol. I just recently found out about MAC though so I think I will maybe do a big MAC haul soon :)

  Mini hauls are always fun, though :) What brands were you usually hauling before MAC?

My biggest haul was during November-December.I bought more than what I intended because of good sales.I know I’m gonna have a huge one again at the end of the year.

Just this past weekend. In Mexico they just released the Neo Sci Fi, Solar Field and Dazzleglass collections and I just went MAC crazy. I bought almost everything. I went so far as to calling ALL the MAC stores here to search for the things I wanted and were already sold out. In just 2 days I went to 5 MAC store to get everything I wanted. I even bought a traincase to hold my now rapidly growing collection. I just love MAC!!!

  HOLY GOD! That is incredible, Chuarmk. You must have backups upon backups! Yes, I can imagine Electroflash and Sonic Chic will do a number to your bank account!

    Haha..you are so right.I really have quite a no. of backups from Flashtronic. I am a MAC collector too,so some of the items are for collection only. Here is the items I bought.

my biggest hauls for sure are usually in november and december when mac brings out stuff like the miniature lipgloss sets, miniature brushes, lip palettes,etc. I usually want all of these.
- Christine
  
  Wednesday, June 11, 2008
  
  Hey Lisa! Do you keep buying the brush sets even though you already have previous sets?

Small hauls! I limit myself to $100 each time, but thats about once a month lately-ever since Fafi, Heatherette, Dazzleglass, and I am still dreaming about buying more Neo Sci Fi. THere is a large outlet in Indiana near where I live and they have discounted MAC at the Makeup Cosmetics Store. Recently they had the Fafi blushes, Antiquatease (spelling?, and much more. I often wait on collections and buy them there at a discounted rate. I love it!
- Christine
  
  Wednesday, June 11, 2008
  
  Not bad at all, Sarah! $100 is a good amount to spend and get a nice haul, too :)

My biggest haul was when Sweetie Cake came out. I spent $300! Other than that, I limit myself terribly! small hauls only!
- Christine
  
  Thursday, June 12, 2008
  
  Oh, wow, Tina! What did you love so much about Sweetie Cake?

Hmmm…had to be the Christmas collection from 2006 (you know, the small black barrel clutches). I bought all three of the four brush sets, two of the eye palettes, the lip jelly lip sets and a pigment set. It must have been over $250, easy. Even though I was working full time, I felt so guilty for spending that much all at once!
- Christine
  
  Thursday, June 12, 2008
  
  Nice, Poconos15! I bet you had a lot of fun playing with it all!

My biggest haul so far has probably been a little over $600…I’m *hopefully* getting ready to drop about 3 grand though – yes, at once. I want so many things that I don’t have from the standards – so that 3k is not counting the remaining limited edition collections I want to buy from (cool heat and two others I can’t think of). I know it’s crazy and most people think probably ridiculous, but I’m addicted and I have an awesome husband who, doesn’t understand but, let’s me :)
- Christine

  OMG, Victoria, WHEW!! I’m in shock from what you’re intending to purchase soon. Gosh, the MA who rings you up will love you!

Oh, dear god, I don’t even know. The majority of my collection has been obtained since Fafi hit. Before that, I had… 10-12 eyeshadows, one lipstick, one liner, one or two glosses and a brush set. Now, I have MUCH MORE. I need to take photos and post it soon.

I do know the limited collection I have the most from is Fafi, simply because I love it. I didn’t get it all at once, but I have: both blushes, all six lipsticks, four paint pots, all three dolls, one lipgloss and one of the IPP is on its way. If I could have the entire Fafi collection, I would.
- Christine
  
  Thursday, June 12, 2008
  
  Hey Sanayhs! How are you today?
  
  LOL, I know, it’s so easy to grow the collection!!

Last week in NYC.
3 empty paletts, 6 e/s refills, 3 mascara, 1 nailpolish, 1 face brush, 3 e/s brushes, a lippi for my mum, a pressed blot powder. Total over 300 §. Now I have everything.
- Christine

  Very nice haul there, Nicole :D

I do it on the regular, but my bundle is not as expensive as most because i have a PPid card. (thanking God for it) I just did one this past Tuesday and Wednesday. I racked up on the Nauticals, Neo Sci, some palette refills, about 6 lip glasses, 5 lipsticks…and some accessories.
- Christine
  
  Thursday, June 12, 2008
  
  Ohh, you are very lucky to have a PRO card :D

Since Fafi I’ve been hauling every week. I think I’ve spent about $1000 in the last few months. Terrible but I’m a born again makeup addict…I took a few years off, had two babies, toned down on the makeup but now that my kids are a little older (5 and 2) I am back on my makeup splurging with a vegeance…my hauls are mainly MAC but I have also dabbled in Bobbi Brown, NARs and lately Chanel! I thought i would stop but I hear the High 90s slimshine calling me…
- Christine
  
  Thursday, June 12, 2008
  
  Oh my goodness, Michelle!! I feel like I’ve been hauling pretty often myself with all of the collections.
  
  High 90s is a must-have!!
Nell

Oh dear,…
I don´t really want to know the exact amount, but since I got addicted to MAC my hauling has reached unheard of levels.
Since the beginning of 2008 I must have spent several thousand dollars.
The biggest hauls have been N Collection, Originals, Fafi and visiting the CCO is always a bad idea for me (a good day for the CCO though;))
But I love my collection and I´m proud of it!
- Christine
  
  Thursday, June 12, 2008
  
  lol, Nell!! I don’t want to know the exact amount myself. I want to say for me it was probably $500-600 at a PRO store (probably my first visit…).

My biggest haul was my first haul. I bought 5 brushes, 3 eyeshadows, and various other things. I spent around $400, and that was on sale. Heh. That was a good day :)
- Christine
  
  Thursday, June 12, 2008
  
  Oh gosh, brushes sure can add up, lol!!

Wednesday, June 11, 2008

The biggest one was when Fafi, Strobe and BPB were all released on the same day. I think I got around 20 things…
- Christine

  Oh, goodness gracious, I can only imagine the damage!

$140, a few months ago…a bunch of 3D glosses and random other things. I also spent about that much when I splurged on some more expensive skincare products at Sephora last year (wasn’t worth it!).
- Christine
  
  Thursday, June 12, 2008
  
  Nice! Do you still like the 3d glasses, Carrie?
  
  What expensive skincare products weren’t worth it? You must spill!

    Well, I love Algorithm, Backlit, in3D and Energy, but the darker ones, Racy and …. Boundless?? (it’s red)…they don’t do so much for me, i think.
    
    The main thing from Sephora that wasn’t worth the $ to me was this Dermadoctor cream for rosacea. Calm, Cool & Corrected, I think it’s called. It worked ok for about a week, but then my skin went back to normal (red). And I paid like $80 for it! Now I just avoid talc in face powders and use $5 jojoba oil (pure, organic) and that does a better job.

      I adore Backlit :) So pretty.
      
      How funny that $5 jojoba oil does a better job!

I can’t remember what the individual collections were called, but Antiquitease came out last year… then all of this stuff for Christmas followed with the same packaging. I fell hook, line and sinker for all of them… I remember going in and buying every single thing from Antiquitease, the 3 other Antiquitease sub collections as well. It was GLORIOUS!
- Christine
  
  Thursday, June 12, 2008
  
  Oh yes, Antiquitease was oh-so-gorgeous!
