I'm planning on selling my backup of "Heroine", now It'll be permanent. I don't know about the "Heaux(s)". I bought them from different stores, just to make sure I would receive some, because international packages can be lost or robbed until they arrive here. The "RiRi

MAC Fall Collection" didn't come to Brazil, so I had to buy from resellers. I paid so much for them that to resell would be even more expensive.

I only have two backups and it was by mistake. I ordered Private Party and Flair for Finery and my mum didn't know and bought them as a surprise from the stand at the airport! I won't backup any as I don't see myself finishing any anytime soon!!

Update:

1 x MAC Too Chic Beauty Powder (LE)
1 x MAC Nude On Board Prolongwear Bronzer (LE, in the Temperature Rising packaging!)

I've decided not to get backups in the future. I haven't tried enough makeup to have HGs and makeup is continually improving with new advances. Then again, I think I got lucky with what I backed up. Both items were repromoted by MAC 1-2 years after they were first released, by which time I had big dips in my original items. I plan on finishing them both.

Hmm...

I guess another downside to backups is: What happens when you fall out of love?
I'm tired of my MAC Too Chic. I wouldn't repurchase it today. Any takers? (ha ha!)

Has anyone here fallen out of love with a backed up product?
What do you do then?

Good question! Over the years I can safely say that I have fallen out of love with only two backed up products: 1) MAC Lipglass in Sexray (from the Lure collection, I think) and 2) MAC Softsparkle Eye Pencil in Nightsky. These were things I thought I couldn't live without and now I'm like meh, lol! Fortunately I only have one unopened backup of each.

You've made good points @HppyLittleNinja. I've already asked myself the same questions, as most of us like to change our preferences from time to time. I don't wanna buy backups anymore. Let's see how it goes!

I know there are others, but I can't remember off the top of my head and I'm too lazy to check right now. I'm hoping to tame my spending significantly this year (after IMATS, of course!).

I have one back up for each of these:

- Pink Pigeon
- Party Parrot
- Runaway Red
- Deeply Adored
- FM beautypowder
ETA: Lovecloud blush
I would love to have a back up of Runaway Red. When I got it, my mother, my sister, and I tried it on. We are all different complexions, and were stunned that it beautifully showed up in a different way on each of us! WE LOVE IT!!

Nothing in terms of a certain color, but I try to have an extra UD Naked foundation and the UD pressed powder that came out last year. And a couple of Maybelline mascaras and a Revlon colorstay eye liner. Basically just staples ;)
