(1) Heroine (1) Riri Boy (3) Heaux
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.

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 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
