Buying backups of LE items.. What do you buy backups of?

[unalicious]

I'm not really into buying back-ups, because I figure, MAC will come out with something that I love more.

However, the one thing that I did get a back-up of was Check, Please! l/g from the Tailormade collection, because it's the most perfect, shiny, red lipglass on me, and I couldn't bear the thought of running out of it.

Just FYI - adventurous is like 99.9% identical to Lovechild - which is permanent.

 

[Sushi_Flower]

I've heard it's similar to Lovechild but everyone who's said that has added that it's different out of the tube and this is more warmer/rosier? (can't remember exactly)

hmm, well maybe it's my skin then. When I swatched the two at work, they appeared to be identical.

 

[Sushi_Flower]

Hmm..well i haven't swatched Lovechild before so i'm just going by reading other people's reviews, you're probably right. I'd love to see comparison swatches of the 2 together. I guess i should post it in the request thread!

Pixie, my local Dillards appears to have a bunch of Entwined, in case you decide to get one when they're all gone, maybe I'd still have a source!

I got one of those, and duplicates of Twig and Verve. hehehe

I've lost my gitane l/g before and bought a second one. I wish I'd have bought a backup to flash of flesh. I hope "New Flame" is re released- I got that one as an old LE -it had set on macs shelves for a while but these are my favorites. Adventurous is my new favorite right now though.

I purchased back-ups of a lot of stuff, not because I run out, I usually have to get rid of stuff because its old or the container looks messed up, I lose things, things fall out of my bag. I recently lost two brushes, on two different days.

I kind of regret purchasing the backups now because I don't wear makeup everyday (so my stuff last a long time) and I spent way too much money so now I have to sell them.


I have promised myself not to purchase anymore backups, but I have to admit that I am getting weak, I want a back up of WISHFUL and the Teal brush set.

All this makes me think of is if you guys would sell me your extras, look how much money you would make. You could pay cash for Christmas, pay off your car, etc. Especially parrot. And I do have goldbit and I love it. Everyone has this thing for Damzel. I have it, and I like it, but not enough to have extras.

Damzel (2)
Blue Yonder (2)
Rayothon (1)

I'm going to get 2 more backups of Select Tint NW23...contemplating Dusk and Strawberry Blonde.

 

[BlahWah]

The only item I almost finished is Flash of Flesh so I promptly hunted down one on eBay, only to lose the original! *sob*

I got Pink Clash but swapped it away for Jewelbright...I wish I got another Entwined though! I thought Body Suit would split some time w/ it, but it's too pinky unless I take the time to make it right. And I swapped for a backup of Bronze Sugar. Wouldn't mind another one either!

For ones I'm thinking of backing up...perhaps Overgrown, if the MA talks me into it. Flowerosophy if it looks similar enough to Flash of Flesh (I didn't have mine to compare, but it seemed FoF but w/out the sparkles), and maybe Awaken.

I don't buy back-ups, mainly due to how expensive it is to buy just one or two things from each monthly collection, let alone backups. If I had a sugar daddy or lived a life without bills, then I'd buy lots of everything!

Besides, there's something fun about not having endless backups - when I run out of something, then it's an opportunity to check out what else is new and find something else that I'll adore.

 

[user2]

Sensualize - 1

Flash of Flesh - 2

I'll probably buy a backup of one of the Culturebloom Lustreglasses but I'm not sure about it yet!

 

[jeannette]

Sigh, I buy backups for so many things. I touch up a lot because the weather's very humid here in Singapore.

 

[Glow]

I want to go back and get a Petal Pusher backup. But it might be difficult since I only get $50 a month for MAC and culture bloom haul was that alone.

 

[Wontpayretail23]

I don't have backups of anything. I pretty much always find something else that I like.

I'm going to buy another Flash of Flesh lipglass [if the counter didn't send it back in RTV] because mine is almost out and it's a pretty unique color.

I REALLYYYY wanted to buy a Shimpagne backup, but it took me forever to decide to do so, and by the time I went in to get it, they sent it back. Dangit. I honestly don't think I'll ever find something I love as much as that, and I'm running really low on it.

 

[channierose]

i've got backups of madame b l/s and zazoom l/g (can you tell i love pink lips? lol.)

also i have an extra diana ross beauty powder that i use probably every other day, and an extra infamous... which i'm kinda trying to get rid of, since i'll never use all that purple.

i really WANT backups of angeldish, pearlette, porcelain pink, moxie, flash of flesh, and rayothon. i guess you could say i'm more of a lip and cheek person than an eye one.

 

[twelfth of never]

I wish I had money for the occasional backup. I'm so clumsy, I really need them sometimes.

 

[OldSoulsBody]

I haven't backed anything up yet and there are a few things I have to say I regret not backing. One of them is Lucky Green so if any of you ladies has an extra backup you're willing to part with I'd be more than happy to buy....


I'm definately going to be backing up my Overgrown e/s as I an in looooove
