So since we all love cosmetics, we all-at some point or another-had a product we loved become discontinued. Lately, every time I find a product I love (no matter what it is or whether it's drugstore or dept. store), I immediately feel the need to have a back up stocked away in a drawer just in case it gets discontinued. I do this with products that I have barely even used, too. I can't spend money so needlessly, and I think it's a little ridiculous that every time I buy something, I force myself to buy it again. I have a drawer filled with a bunch of stuff. Am I the only one that does this? I really need to stop this....

no, you're not alone. I have done this. I try not to anymore, with makeup. Skincare I'd a different story. I have seconds of Mood Exposure by HG which is now on the trade thread. I have 2 extras of KVD Ladybird palette, and a couple extra UD liners which will most likely get used. I also have an extra Pantone color of the year cheek palette from this year. That will also get used. I love it. I've stopped doing this- I'll always find something else I want and not want to use the products.

I do this all the time, but with skincare and a Bath & Body three wick candles. I need stop and use what I have, before this gets out of hand. Join the No Buy group!

Don't so much buy back-ups yet to find HG's ... but I have way to many eyeliners and mascaras! I just keep buying! I use for about a week and then just open another one! Never use one long enough to find a HG. I need one-time use sizes on all make-up!! Hmmmmmm, thats a thought huh?!?!?

I would have to make a purchase, just so I could get the mascara Gwp, I am such a sucker for mascara! Last one was the Laura Mercier one that bought and used for a full two weeks. I have not used my MJ mascara samples yet that came with the rose dressing lippy.

But you are right.....there are always new products and dupes available.

I don't really get back ups. I have a large collection and there is always new products coming out that I want to try, so I don't get to hung up on particular products whether they are limited edition or possibly going to be discontinued. The only time I have is with Chantecaille White Tiger compact, because I found one that was such a good deal. I'm glad I grabbed that one since I just hit pan and I really love it!

I love the MJ though, doesn't really give me much length but does give me a tons of volume so I am using it as an all-over then a second mascara for length.

I do backups of my most loved items that I worry I may not be able to get again. So far, that's been Urban Decay liners in Lucky, Baked and Midnight Cowboy. I also have a spare Stila eyeshadow in Twig because its my perfect crease color. There's a few things that if I heard might be discontinued I would get a heap of them. I get extra skincare items because most stuff has pumps and I'm not sure when I will run out.

I buy backups of body products/candles all the time, but less so with makeup. Although I do have a bit of a fresh sugar lip backup stash... Occasionally if I love a sample size of something I'll buy a full size before the sample runs out. I guess what it comes down to is I don't have backups of particular products usually, but I have stashes of the same type of product in different brands!

Yes. I am bad especially during the sales. I have WAY too much. It is embarrassing really. I even once made an UD palette with verve and busted cause I was about to hit pan in my naked 2 palette…..guess who has never used them or even hit pan. Same with de-slick…and it goes on.
