Do you have a favourite product that is now discontinued? Do you also sort of feel insulted that you weren’t consulted considering your years of loyalty?
This past year I settled on a lipstick colour. I’m not sure if it’s an age thing and I am always admiring of people who match their lipstick with their outfits, nails and the like. But me, I finally decided that a particular colour was all that I needed.
Maybelline Stayfast 725 since you insist on knowing.
When I was a teenager and experimenting with make up I once put on some bright red lipstick. ‘You shouldn’t wear red lipstick a friend immediately told me, your mouth is too big, you look like a whore’
So, there you go, what are friends for if not their honesty?
It has, however, taken me this long to settle on a colour.
So, getting some more 725s was on my list of purchases to make in SA. (I am a list girl, there is ALWAYS a list). Ask my lovely man, there is always a list for him too.
Finding some 725s proved more difficult than anticipated. Eventually some sweet girl at Clicks told me that it had been discontinued (devastating), but she would look in the old stock and find what she could for me.
I explained my plight and that THIS was my colour and why I couldn’t wear dark colours. She was amazingly empathetic to my story and reinforced it by saying ‘and an OLD whore now, that wouldn’t be good’
Bless her.
She found me 4 725s. I was so grateful. And then she said…
Do you think these will last you your lifetime?
Honestly, employee of the month.
Oh arose, you could’ve just settled on Pearly Pink,I’ve the good old days over 30 years ago. Works for me still😜
Haha. Pearly Pink! I remember that. Should have stuck to it. Might have to go back to it 😜
