    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 :)

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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 :)

    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.

    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.

    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…

    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!

      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 :)

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

    $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!).

      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 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!
