Go on then, admit it.

I have 5.

Just counted- 5 as well.

Coincidence? I don't think so...

tethersend · 17/04/2010 19:58

Actually, it probably is coincidence.

rainbowinthesky · 17/04/2010 19:58

I've just splurted a mouthful of wine out, tethersend.

None.
I have one shadestick though. I blame it on there not being a MAC counter within about a 50 mile radius. If there was one in my city it would probably number a good 20

rainbow I am thinking about having a mac makeup splurge, are their eyeshadows good and why?

RipMacWinkle · 17/04/2010 20:04

None here either.

Should I?

Go on, give me a sales pitch, am I missing a trick here?

rainbowinthesky · 17/04/2010 20:05

I have a mac counter a 10 minute drive away. Yes, they are best I've ever used.

Bloody susylvester (Yes, I know who you are) recommended the slate one the other day to go with graphite pencil. Offs I goes and buys the pencil and ask for the "slate" shade at the mac counter only to find it doesnt exist. Had to choose a shimmery grey one (very nice) with no preplanning.

I can feel another buy coming up though.

Their eyeliners are good too. Not used anything else.

3 - two brown, and one teal. They last amazingly well, and the pigment level is great, so you really get the colour in the pot.

brimfull · 17/04/2010 22:00

only one
called 'kid'

there is so much choice I always get bambboozeled
i bet there is one called bamboozeled

8 - love em!

I also have a 120 pro pallette, 2 YSL pallettes, 3 dior pallettes and 2 urban decay ones.... unecessary, obsessive and wasteful as I really only ever use about 4 shades!

MillyR · 17/04/2010 22:04

I own mac brushes, but not the eyeshadows. What is good about them?

foureleven · 17/04/2010 22:06

High pigment, no fall out, LOADS of colours, blend well, last all day, big pots..... umm.... not massively expensive

wastingaway · 17/04/2010 23:05

1, subtle, yet disco gold.

I have to catch the train to get to the Mac counter, otherwise I'm sure I'd have a lot more.

MsDav · 17/04/2010 23:06

14 and a paint pot

janeite · 17/04/2010 23:07

Three - but two of them are both Shale. The other is a bronze colour and I never wear it.

MsDav · 17/04/2010 23:09

foureleven, hate to tell you but Mac don't do a 120 pro palette, there are a lot of fakes around claiming to be such a beast but they are fakes. Be careful cos the fakes could have things in them you might not want to put on your eyes IYSWIM

MsDav · 17/04/2010 23:11

Ah just re-read, sorry you weren't saying it was a Max 120 palette at all... as you were then

said · 17/04/2010 23:11

None. Didn't realise it was compulsory.

said · 17/04/2010 23:13

I like the Bourjois pots. Am I a cheapskate?

kittya · 18/04/2010 01:46
  1. I have all the grey ones - for the smudge rock chick look. Two greens, one is moss I think. And a brown and a base colour. The burgundy I can give or take. I hate their eye pencils, have had notthing but bad luck with them. Love their blushers though, the Springsheen is orange and looks fab on. The lipstick that I always get comments on is Cockney whenever I wear it people ask me where its from. I wouldnt touch their foundation, not after you all directed me to Chanel!
JunoWatt · 18/04/2010 08:15

10?

TheGashlycrumbTinies · 18/04/2010 08:43

None.

MooMinCow · 18/04/2010 09:40

15 in one of their pro palette magnetic thingys

foureleven · 18/04/2010 13:22

MrsDav heehee thanks, was just confessing to having more eyeshadows than necessary
