Im
sure Ive mentioned it before
but I do despair whenever a company
discontinues a line that Im devoted
to.
In recent years I have lost my favourite
face cream, hand cream and worst
of all what I considered to be the
best body lotion on the market.
And now my lipsticks have bitten
the bullet. Not one shade but the
whole range! Surely I couldnt have
been the only devotee! If Id have
known then I would have stocked
up for the next few years as I find
it really difficult to find suitable
lipsticks.
Either the shade is wrong, or they
dry my lips or taste of wax crayon
or something equally horrible. So
the last few weeks have found me
trawling the shops endlessly looking
for a new favourite. Its impossible
to tell what a colour will be like
unless tried on the lips all that
painting on the back of hands and
finger tips is utterly useless.

I need to see and feel it on my
mouth and yet asking for a spatula
to do so only meets with much tut-tut
ting from the representative, followed
by eye-rolling and sighing when
I ask to try another shade. And
this can only be done around three
times as my lips start to look prune-like
after this so hence the long, drawn-out
process of finding something suitable.
I know Im a fussy shopper but Im
tired of throwing good money after
bad on unwanted make-up. Ive thrown
away more lipsticks than Ive kept
over the years but was really happy
with the range Ive now been using
for at least ten years. How dare
they get rid of it! Anyway, after
much seeking I am finally sorted
and really happy with a beautiful
range from Lancτme.
There were so many gorgeous colours
in the range I had chosen I decided
to get one of each and really love
them all. And although the girl
assured me that they are not destined
for the discontinued path, I think
Ill be going back next payday for
a suitcase full just to be sure!
