Just out of curiousity, what everyone keeps and how many you think is a good amount to keep a backup of...



For me, my most backups are for Brill. I have 3 backups of it!
Also, now I have 2 backups of Aquavert
and 1 backup of Waternymph.

I also have a backup of Pink Freeze but that was to have one in pot and one in palette, as I know it is a permanent shade.

I only have one back up and that's of waternymph. I feel like MAC will always release something that I want just as much as the thing I could back up and something that I will be lemming as much as the next and the talented ladies here on specktra can always create a dupe of it anyway!!! I mean, look at the parrot dupe, that was amazing and I think I prefer the dupe to be honest!!!

I don't have backups of anything, because I figure by the time I run out of something, there will be something else out that I like better. I must say though, that I am seriously considering a back up of aquavert. I am so jealous you have 3 Brills! I missed out on it, and am looking everywhere for it at a decent price!

Most counters should still have this, as it really wasn't that popular of a color. I can check my local counter for you next time I go (in about a week if you want).

As for me, I only have backups of Zazoom Lipglass and Luella Pink Pink to Make the Boys Wink TLC. I'm debating gettting a backup of Nightfish fluideline though, cuz I LOVE it, it's just the right shade of black for me, cuz Blacktrack and Blitz&Glits are too black and harsh. My only dilema is, that by the time I use up my Nightfish, the backup would probably be all dried up...........

I never really consider buying backups of anything, cuz I've still got about 1/3 left of my very first MAC eye shadow (satin taupe) that I got about 7 years ago!

I've got so much makeup I could never use a full product up (except maybe lip stuff)

Lips:
Flash of Flesh l/g (3 backups)
Dame in a Dress lipgelee (2 backups)
Petal Pusher l/g (1 bu)
Summerfete TLC (1 bu)

Eyes:
Lucky Green (1 bu)
Angelcake (1 bu)
Waternymph (1 bu)

I went a little crazy with Flash of Flesh (haha) but I use it almost every day so I don't feel too bad about it. I didn't start buying backups until I started using stuff over 3-4x a week... then I got worried and went crazy ;]

I've just recently thought of buying backups. I love some of the colors, but I think to myself "With the money that I spend on this I could be buying a new color that I don't have." But then I would hate to run out of a color I love. I'm the most indecisive person ever. I can't make up my mind. I might get a few from Lure though.

I only have backups of l/g: Elle, Pinking Sheer and Damzel, I think.

I used to have backups of other things but then I realized I'd never get to use them so I swapped.
