Wow, thank you love! So my list is:

All the lipsticks except Heroine. Although I need a backup of it since it's my favorite color, I can always get it.

Two blushes: Fleeting Romance and Make You Mine! They sound so gorgeous.

Unless it is something truly magnificent like Punk Couture, I am not backing up. 1. I can't afford to. 2. I have so many lipsticks I doubt I will get through them in my lifetime, much less getting to my back ups! You guys heard me say this. Hold me to it. I could get desperate. lol
NO BACKUPS! :whip:

I was going to head over to the low buy thread but I'll stick it here too:

I've come to the point with BUs that not only must it be the most amazing color, it also has to be a color I know I will want to wear at least a few times a month. If I love it, but I'm only wearing it once or twice a month, NO BU. I'll never get to the BU that way. We already figured out there are something like 200+ uses in a tube, so even wearing it once a week all year long is going to take years to get through it. By then, who knows what new loveliness will be available?

How's this for inspiration: I DIDN'T BU DODGEY GIRL or RIOT HOUSE or KYY. They're so gorgeous, but between the crazy staining and the fact I've got similar (if not quite as nice) colors and the other fact that MAC will definitely do more colors like these, NO BU.

I hope this helps, hehe. Believe me, your collection is going to grow to majestic proportions without BUs! You'll always have fabulous lippies to adorn your loveliness with, especially hanging out here.

Erine can you tell me whats the mean circles, triangles etc? Please. I know is permanent, repromote but im confused
Erine gets a real workout answering this question a lot.

Here's a link to one of the last times she explained it: http://www.specktra.net/t/188657/mac-artificially-wild-collection-sept-4-2014/120#post_2688568

Plus there are a few others here and there.

I think it'd be a good idea to do a post in Mac Chat, that's sticky like the B2M post, that just lists all of MAC's symbols. Alternately, I've asked about symbols I didn't recognize on live chat on the MAC site and have always gotten an answer, and that's faster than searching through threads here sometimes.

I never backup too and didnt for the osbournes too. Even if it is a splendid shade that I adore at the moment a few continuous days of use will cure me of that. Not that there is anything wrong with it if you are someone who succeeds in finishing a product often ( then

) and then I agree it will hurt not to have a BU. I somehow never end up doing that. With the Gazillon collections, there will always be a new love for me.

I can never resist Lippies and blushes

. So i know i will continue to buy them. Inevitably backups will remain backups for me...

Totally agree! I've backed up a few things recently but only after I've worn them a few times between the online and store releases. That week is usually enough for me to decide if it's worth making the trip to the store to get an extra. I've only ever finished a couple of products and repurchased them and they were things I use almost every day. I really like that "once a week" rule! I'm going to add that to my list of questions to ask myself before I back up. Thanks!

This is helpful and something I hope to stick to. I've only backed up four things: Punk Couture, Instigator, Enchanted One, and Clinique Rose Aglow. The first two are unique to my collection and I wear them quite a bit when I'm at school. EO is a HG nude that I see myself rocking regularly, and the RA is actually perm but I use it so much, it's good to have a spare for when I run out.
