Much like discovering super flattering jeans and buying more than one pair, when you've found a lipstick that you simply cannot live without, you should always buy several just in case it is ever lost, broken, retired or discontinued. Or, so you can have one in the house, one in the car, and one in your bag. Don't laugh or the naughty discontinue fairy will come snatch your lipstick (better known as the product development person at the manufacturer...who you can always write e-mails to about your long lost faves. It can't hurt. This could potentially push your must-have item back onto the market someday. I've seen it happen many times). My can't-live- without red lipstick is"Sexy Lips" by Laura Mercier. Although the color has remained the same, they have messed with/changed the texture a few too many times and in true cosmo-junkie form, I've obtained this color in every texture it came in. Different textures prove different pigment application and sometimes a totally different look, even though the color is the same. The final (current) texture is called "Stickgloss" which means it goes on like a lipstick and looks like a lipstick in the packaging, but acts/feels more like a hydrating gloss with color. Its sheer enough that my lips don't walk into the room before I do and its just enough color that I can call it "red" without having Ronald McDonald mouth...no disrespect, Ron.
We may branch out or stray from our best/favorite colors, but we always somehow return to what works/looks/feels best. We are creatures of habit. Us junkies.
