I've not bought an eyeshadow or foundation in a year now. Every time I see a colour I like, I just try to replicate it at home with my pigments. Oddly enough, I still like the neutrals so I make my fad colours and give away most of my batch to friends. I can't say enough wonderful things about them. It has saved me a bunch of $$$ making them myself and its a hobby now. I keep my pigments in a large toolbox and I put my mixed batches in little tiny snap top containers from the dollarstore (8 for $1). It drives me crazy that people are spending so much for something that should cost so little! To top it off, I only used each of my MAC pigments once!!! That was such a waste of $75! So much for me getting into a produce for the name! *banging my head against the wall saying 'stupid me'*
