What do you have backups of & How Many?? - Page 7

post #181 of 215

I only buy multiples of L/S and Glass, just because I like to have one on my purse for touchups. 

 

I get a strange joy out of the hunt for a replacement. I'm clearly SICK!

I was going to post but some of these are out of site--gotta bow down th_worship.gif

Nothing! Except maybe UD's sin which happens to be in two of my palettes, and Club which happened accidentaly by getting a photo realism quad where two of the colors were substituted with nylon and club, and I already had club. And when I get the cham-pale quad I will have two retrospeck, pretty color but I'm unsure if I will sell one off or not.

I try hard not to back things up because something new and better usually always comes along, IMO, but sometimes it just can't be helped.  girlhaha.gif   Currently, I have:

 

  • Mystery Kohl Power (2, L/E)
  • Plum Soft Cremestick Lipliner (2, D/C)
  • Undercurrent Pearlglide Intense Liner (2, *used to be* L/E)

I've got no BU so far..hm.. maybe one day, if I really like something :)

post #188 of 215

My backup list. I have only 1 backup of each, that's as much I will allow myself to have, haha!

 

- Coco pigment

- Blue/Brown pigment petite (just because it was SO FREAKING HARD to find)

 

- Ever Hip l/s (original release)

 

Eyeshadows:

- Waternymph

- French Grey

- Mothbrown (original and Barbie)

- Atlas

- Putty

- Flirty Number

- Smoke & Diamonds

- Hocus Pocus

- Olive Groove

- Aria (my first ever MAC shadow!)

- Bark

- Guacamole (original)

- Jealousy Wakes

- Relaxing

 

- Pink Cult blush

 

- Lightscapade MSF

 

At one point I had two Perverted Pearl quads, but I sold one of them when I realized that I will never finish that quad in my lifetime. I don't like to back up lipsticks because I have a fear of the backup going bad before I get the chance to use it. I loved Ever Hip so much I had to get two, though, and I've already made a sizeable dent in my first tube. And I think the only lipglass I would ever back up is Flash of Flesh. LOVE.

Looking at my small collection, I think it's funny that I have a back up of anything.

- MAC Too Chic Beauty Powder x1

- GOSH Soft 'n Shine Lip Balm in "Perfect Plum" --> I discovered these after they were discontinued and jumped on PP when I spotted it. The thing is... I'm not really a lippie person so I might return my backup!

How many backups are too many?
post #198 of 215

There's totally no such thing as too many. 

 

For me I only have a backup of Phloof and paint in Sublime Nature. Not that either of those will ever stop being made, but if I lost one (which has happened) I always have a backup on hand, lol.

post #199 of 215

Now I have a first ever backup of MAC innocence lipstick but that's about it.. I know I will get a lot of use out of it, considering it's my go to lipstick now, that's why I got it))

post #200 of 215
Most of the time I limit myself to one backup unless I really love a product. I love MAC Narcissus so much I bought 5 backups. MAC Stolen Moment EDES comes in second with 4 backups and 3 of Ready To Roam l/g.

I have changed my stance on this unfortunately.

 

I bought an extra 2 Forever Marilyn BP's and 1 extra GlamourDaze lipstick and 1 Strada blush backup.

 

In saying that, I'll use it all and that'll be the end of them.  I have to REALLY love it and know I'll use it often to justify a BU.

post #202 of 215

I don't have any backups of make up.  I only keep a backup of hair spray because its only sold at one place in Dallas.

post #203 of 215

I try not to backup a lot, but if I really like a product, then I definitely need a BU of it. My backups currently:

 

Earthshine MSF

 

Hot Chocolate l/s (I had 2 bu's, but gave one away)

 

Rocker l/s

 

Silver Birch MES

 

Superb MSF

 

Those are my tried and true products.

I had a backup of Ruffian Red and a few other l/e lipsticks that I never wore so I gave them away or sold them. There are some products that I love, then when I see dupes for it, I almost always sell it and buy the cheaper/perm item.

 

I NEVER back up blushes or lip glosses because I know I'll never get through them, but I do love them :)

post #204 of 215

I've never found a LE product I think I am going to need way more of so I have never had a backup of anything!

post #205 of 215
I'm trying to break my habit of backing up products unless I'm absolutely in love with it (i.e., Heroine). Occasionally, I'll go through my stash and pull items to add to my sale in an effort to pare down my collection. It's gotten a little out of control!

Right now I have backups of the following:
Whisper of Gilt
Superb
Eden Rouge
Camden Chic
Ready to Roam x3
Firm Form x2
Absolute Power x2
Pink Pigeon
Strong Woman
Small Vanity
Dirty Plum
Famously Fab
Style Packed x2
All of My Purple Life x2
Embrace Me x4
Just Wonderful
Just My Type
Spiked
Brown Script
Ground Brown
Brown Down
Kid
Carbonized
Outré
Warm Companion
Ruffian Red
Dramatic Encounter
Rich Core
Narcissus x5
Comfort & Joy x2
Deliciously Demure x2
Round Midnight x2
Stolen Moment 3...or maybe 4
Dark Dare
Modern Pewter
Grand Galaxy
Tall, Dark & Handsome
Deeply Adored
Love Goddess
Night Blooming
Deep Dark Brunette
Magenta blush
L'Oreal Infallible in Bronzed Taupe, Bottomless Java and Tender Caramel

That's all I can remember off the top of my head.
post #206 of 215

Lightscapade x5

Stereo Rose x2 (the 2nd one is on its way to me)

Cloudy Afternoon x2

VG Gaga1 x2

Pink Cult x2

Play It Proper x2

 

I think that's it. I had BUs of Flamingo, Watch Me Simmer, Innocence Beware, Modern Mandarin and Snowglobe BP, but sold/swapped them. I would buy more BUs of the following, if I found them for retail or cheaper: Cloudy Afternoon, Snow Season, Hang Loose and Lightscapade.

And do multiple brushes count? I have two of the 217 and 239 each.
