I'd like to start by saying that everything I post here is with love and pure intentions to help, and make you laugh. So please don't take this the wrong way. And I know 99% of you won't believe me and will still harass sales people at makeup counters. Hahaha! But please read carefully:
Your favorite color from whatever line its from will NOT be found elsewhere. SO STOP TRYING! What I mean is this: If Ruby Woo lipstick from MAC is your favorite red, (God forbid it ever be discontinued) you WILL NOT find it anywhere else, BY anyone else! So don't go to Clinique with the remnants of the Ruby Woo tube and expect to find a match. Because here's the deal: SOMETHING will be different. Whether it be the color, consistency, wearability, and (of course) packaging. It won't be the same.
What you can do, is find a similar product or something new altogether. You never know, you might find something you like better. But please do not drive the makeup people crazy swatching and trying on 15 lipsticks only to discover none of them are your old fave. (They were never going to be!) Its made of completely different ingredients.
So, maybe this will help you shop smarter in the future.
*ok, part of this truly was "an angry makeup lady gripe", but it had to be said. Hahaha!*
Take it or leave it!
