Nice list!
Is it weird that I'm even debating on a BU of NTS? What if it's the perfect contour shade?

Or should I get Taupe for that? Decisions...
I'm thinking of backing up NTS, too. I'm very pale and afraid of contouring, so I'm definitely having those "WHAT IF I GET INTO CONTOURING AND THIS IS THE ONLY THING THAT CAN TURN ME INTO A PERFECTLY SCULPTED BEAUTY?!?!?! AND THEN I RUN OUT AND IT'S GONE FOREVER?!?!?!" kinds of thoughts lol.

Also considering some lipsticks, but I think I'll wait to see more swatches first.

I don't think it'll sell out soon, so you'll have time to play with it and make a decision if it needs to be backed up. I have the same fear as well!

Does anyone feel that NTS might be close to Chanel Notorious? I really felt that it might after watching Allura Beauty's video! *fingers crossed*

Just from various swatches online, I think NTS will end up being a lot lighter. Notorious is quite dark, so I have to use an extremely light hand. I find that Allura's swatches are a tad lighter than what I see in person. It's her lighting and editing, I think.

Haha, my thoughts exactly. I bought Nars Olympia which is great, but... what if this is even better?!

Notorious definitely looks darker.
Yeah darker for sure, but the similar grayish tones have me kinda excited. As such, I just placed another order for NTS

I have really high hopes for NTS, I think it might be a really awesome contour (cheeks and eyes!) for super white people and something where you don't have to be so cautious about using a light hand, etc.. Taupe is much more dupable because it has warmth to it.

I think NTS is a must have for me, especially with winter coming up! A lot contours look muddy on me though, so I thought it would be a good idea. I did go ahead and order all of the blushes. Still debating on AE and Marsh.

I think AE and Marsh are going to be so pretty if you're on the fair side. Taupe blush was what I was debating on. I think it'll be too dark for me!

After Allura's swatches I have not been this excited about eyeshadows since MAC Me Over!
Tell me about it! I just finished watching it, and even Natural Wilderness looked gorgeous. I think I'll end up picking it up anyway because it'll pair nicely with the other shades.

Hmmm I can see why someone would want to but for me personally I don't plan on it even if I love it. I have never used up a blush before I got bored or it just got old.. Ever. In my whole life. Even as a contour.. I'd have to use it every day for like 2 years to finish it and by then who knows what could happen! Lol. Already backed up a bronzer this year and I feel nervous enough about never getting to my backup of that. Commitment phobic!

Pink Cult is the only blush I backed up, just sayin' because I think folks should not miss out, its pretty unique. I do hope the re-promote is the same...

True... I haven't BUd anything in a while, but for some reason the fall collections make me want to go crazy. And I haven't posted in the Low-Buy thread in a while, because I have some confessiosn to make... I have been shopping quite a bit. *hides*

Hahaha Naynadine! I can always tell when there are popular collections out because Low Buy gets very quiet.

When I bu something it isn't because I think I will use it but in case it is lost or damaged. Also, if it is something I use a lot of I get an extra just for travel.

Here are some quick swatches, tried to do the best I could while my little monster was taking a nap

, so excuse the splotchy application. Next To Skin is indeed great for a subtle contour for very fair skin tone

Everything is great!

T-B: Natural Wilderness, Taupe, Next To Skin, Pink Cult.

Next To Skin as a contour (w/ couple hours old Fun Ending)

Taupe as a contour, Pink Cult lightly as blush

Next To Skin as an eyeshadow all over, Natural Wilderness in the other corner. I didnt use any base though, so they appear quite sheer.
