    My dog got into some of my makeup and ate a few eyeshadows, lipsticks and lipglasses – including some of my favorites (thankfully, no limited editions so everything was replaceable). In addition to the makeup loss, my carpet was a mess!

      My dog ate one a dark green MAC eyeshadow, thinking it was a bottle cap (he loooooves chewing on them) the same night I bought it! Then on top of it, while I was on my hands and knees trying to scrub it out of the carpet, he vomited the thing, ewww, dark green dog vomit! I was not happy, and he ended up in time out for the rest of the night. It worked though, hasn’t touched my make up since, even when my hubby throws it at him to get me mad…he knows my weakness. Thank god it was under the stairs so you can’t really see it.

    Depotting eyeshadows for the first time. In addition to breaking a few shadows I almost lost my finger.

      Oh my! Glad you didn’t lose your figure after all, Cat!

    Spilled a whole bottle of liquid foundation on my roommate’s white carpet fifteen minutes before an 8am class. Needless to say, I didn’t make it to class!

      Oh no! Did you manage to get it out?

    i’m accident prone, but i think the worst that ever happened was dropping my Nanogold eyeshadow on my bedroom floor, only to have it shatter into a billion pieces (which now reside in a little screw-top MAC jar!).

    oh and then the time that my cat got into an open jar of pigment while i was pressing some — stuck her nose right into pink pearl!!! it was cute and funny — until i realized she needed a bath.

    • Christine

      Tuesday, September 2, 2008

      Aww, that sucks, Courtney! I’m glad you were able to salvage some of it, though :)

    i left my makeup bag on the plane once, i was so distressed i started crying. my boyfriend couldnt understand it, but i had been collecting patternmaker compacts for ages and they were all gone.

    i also shattered my petticoat msf, but i rebaked it and its good as new (but horrible looking)

    • Christine

      Tuesday, September 2, 2008

      Oh no! You weren’t able to get it back? That sucks, Alison!

    this one might make you guys cry

    i was out the door to do some wedding makeup, and i was late, and i didnt gather my things the night before.

    i had my brush case sunglasses and 3 mac palettes pile on top of each other in one arm, and my coffee, and car keys in another. i almost spilled my coffee on me, so i jerked, and dropped one of my shadow palettes! it crashed on my porch and all of the shadows shattered everywhere, unsalvageable!
    so ive been really depressed since sunday. my sadness is turning to anger at myself for half packing my car the night before :(

    • Christine

      Tuesday, September 2, 2008

      AWWW! You poor thing, I’m so sorry that happened to you :(

    Oh, Shangrila!! I feel your pain. I’ve dropped two palettes in a similar manner and the shadows broke to pieces. I felt all kinds of emotions that day but I was so upset at myself for being so clumsy. Needless to say, I had to purchase everything all over again.

    • Christine

      Tuesday, September 2, 2008

      At least you were able to get them again, Chloe!

    I always Always ALWAYS drop my compacts thus I’ve smashed, broken, shattered and basically destroyed tonnes of foundation cakes. However the worst time was when I was on a flight touching up and there was a slight jerk. I dropped my compact and the foundation cake smashed everywhere! People had to leap all around to aviod it… so embarrassing!

    • Christine

      Tuesday, September 2, 2008

      Oh no, Cosine! I’m pretty clumsy, too, but luckily I’ve managed to bang myself up, not my makeup!

    The murder happened in March, I was applying my Cocomotion pigment and the jar was in front of my keyboard, guess what happened… I moved my keyboard by accident and woops it DROPPED! I lost half of it!:(

    • Christine

      Tuesday, September 2, 2008

      LOL, Valerie! Aww :( At least you still have half, right?

    I dropped my MAC New Vegas MSF one too many times and a large chunk broke off. :( However, I’m impressed it held out this long. Luckily it was salvageable. I’m probably more upset over dropping my BB Mauve Palette; mainly because it was fairly pricey. The hinge broke off so now it won’t close properly and the lid is really only sitting on the top, but contents remained intact.

      I’m so glad some of it was salvageable, Kate! Phew!

    hmm.. I can’t really think of a big makeup mess that I’ve made. But I can think of one that happened to my friend. My friend and I went shopping for a couple of hours. Her mother was watching her 5 y/o daughter for her while we were out. When we finished shopping, we went back to her house. Her daughter was in her room playing.. with my friend’s makeup stash!! When we opened the door, her daughter looked up at my friend and said, “Mommy, look.. I’m pretty!” She had a FULL face on. She drew in eyebrows, had lipstick on, blush, eyeshadow.. basically the works. lol, I thought it was really cute despite the pigment jars that were knocked over.. but my friend was not amused. lol!

      I spilled some of the Neon2 pigments on my white placemats – not good. Other than though, I can’t think of much.

      Aww, poor girl!

    Dropped a compact of MAC blot powder, in the middle of a busy nightclub, where everyone saw it. Fortunately, a very nice bartender helped me clean it up.

    • Christine

      Tuesday, September 2, 2008

      Oh no! Was he a cute AND nice bartender? ;P

    i had my train case open for doing my sister-in-law’s makeup and my nephew took one of my pigment containers and opened it and it spilled everywhere, on the carpet, in my case and on him. i was so mad because he opened it but i was laughing at the same time because his foot looked like a chartreuse colored monster foot. =)

    • Christine

      Tuesday, September 2, 2008

      LOL, Chartreuse! Did you get it out of the carpet? Aye!!

      • danielle

        Tuesday, September 2, 2008

        lol yeah i got it out of the carpet but just barely. the carpet has a little bit of a stain but you can hardly notice it now.

    I once went to get out of the car and something went a miss, and I nearly fell out, saved it but kicked my handbag on the way. Unfotunatly kicked my foundation compact, which didn’t take it so well and shattered in my bag. Not pretty.

    • Christine

      Tuesday, September 2, 2008

      Wow, I can’t believe it shattered! At least you saved yourself :P

    Once I got this really nice eyeshadow. I tried opening it but that was pretty difficult. It fell, and all of it fell out. I wasn’t a MAC though (thank god)m and I got most of it back in, but I was horrified at that moment…

    • Christine

      Tuesday, September 2, 2008

      LOL, I know that horrified feeling you got, Alma!

    One word-Benetint It truly is a stain.

    • Christine

      Tuesday, September 2, 2008

    Heh I’ve made a big makeup mess on my face before. I was in a really bad mood, and grabbed black eyeshadow instead of the silver shadow that was used for highlighting. And POOF you could guess what happened. And before that I had the clumpiest lashes in the whole world. Had to restart :(

    • Christine

      Tuesday, September 2, 2008

      LOL! Oh no, Jenna! Shoulda called it artsy and did a photoshoot!

    I saved some but is mixed with doggie hair… owell:P

    • Christine

      Tuesday, September 2, 2008
