I do the same thing! I pick out things and add them to my cart and leave them there until I can afford to buy them. I'm so glad that MAC doesn't remove them if you don't buy it right away.

I think they are somewhat different. I can compare them tonight.I was at MAC doing a return yesterday and the SA asked told me about the next collection. She told me that BaL is very close to Crosswires - perhaps very faintly pinker. Check your stashes!

Here are my first buys from this. The lipsticks are So Good and Good Taste. The glasses are Got Style, New Love (my favorite), and Modern Romance (the lightest pink). I think I'll be buying more of the l/s.

I like So Good the best. Here's what the l/s look like on me. The top lip is Good Taste and the bottom lip is So Good. They are super creamy! Like a soft, oversized t-shirt. But they look almost the same color. The first one is in regular light and the 2nd is with the yellow-ish bathroom light.

Okay #teamlowbuy people...I may not be an official member, but I've gotta ask: How many old lipglasses would you say I have to get rid of to indulge in one of these mineral glosses...or 7? I got to try one of them and
they feel amazing!! It didn't feel sticky at all to me. It seemed like the perfect amount of pigmentation I look for in a gloss. And the colors, ohhhh the colors!! I think they're more stunning in person! So I've got my eye on a few, but I was going to be on a no-buy with gloss this year since I have about 80 glosses (no exaggeration). But I think I would gladly get rid of ALL my glosses (except my beloved Bite Beauty ones) to restock my stash with these!

I haven't been online much lately, so haven't caught up with this thread yet, but I will say this: Tender is one of those pale pink glosses everyone probably has quite a few of in their stashes. However, it's such a better version due to the texture, that it'd be easy for me to get rid of my other pale creamy pinks and just use this one. So maybe take that as a guide - some of these, especially the lighter colors, do a lot less settling on the lips that standard lip glass or csg, so if you are feeling like you have to de-stash to justify a purchase, just ditch all the similar colors you have that don't perform as well and call it a day!Okay #teamlowbuy people...I may not be an official member, but I've gotta ask: How many old lipglasses would you say I have to get rid of to indulge in one of these mineral glosses...or 7?

Since you're asking for a Team Low Buy opinion, I'd ask what you're hoping to accomplish this year. Meet a certain maximum number of items purchased or budget goal? Shrink your collection? Only you can say whether purchasing a couple of these would fit in with your goals.Okay #teamlowbuy people...I may not be an official member, but I've gotta ask: How many old lipglasses would you say I have to get rid of to indulge in one of these mineral glosses...or 7?

Seven seems like a lot to me given the size of your stash, but I don't know how quickly you go through them. Gloss is the item that I've had go off on me more than any other; I'm lucky to get two years out of it. If you've already got 80, how many of them are still good? How many do you really like? Would buying more cause you to not reach for the ones you have? Are you ok with tossing out glosses that are still good because you've found something you like better? Are these really so much better that it's worth tossing out the money you've spent?
Personally, I'd skip given what you have. There's a reason you wanted to be on a no-buy. New products are launched all the time and you will be continuously tempted by the latest and greatest. If you really don't want to buy more gloss, I'd suggest not setting yourself up by trying them on. That's almost certain to trigger you to purchase.
Could you be satisfied buying one? Some people are, but others just want more when they get a taste. If you can just enjoy one, get the one you like best. If having one will just make you want the other six, then walk away. There's no shortage of collections and formulas coming and you have heaps to get through.

I lectured in Good Taste today---loved it, and so did my students! Haha! Gotta love a bright new lipstick!
