Lipstick League Question of the Week:
What beauty product would you immediately hoard if you found out that it was going to be discontinued?
G's answer: Ha! I think any of you who have been reading this blog for a while know the answer to this one. I've got two products in particular that I'm already hoarding even though neither one has officially been discontinued (the fate of each one doesn't look good though, which is why I'm hoarding): Maybelline Define-A-Brow pencil in Dark Blonde and Physicians Formula Healthy Wear Powder Foundation SPF50 in Medium (I'm even hoarding Light, despite the fact that I prefer Medium!).

What product would you start to hoard if you found it was going to be discontinued?
The Cover Girl Pure Romance eyeshadow quad would be the first thing I could never live without.
ReplyDeleteThen Physician's Formula eyeliners and Sally Hansen X-treme Wear Golden-I (nail polish, the best gold foil for my skin tone ever to exist).
I used to hoard but I've realized over the years that I seldom actually use up the products.. for me anyway it seems that something better is always over the horizon, and I wind up moving on. I have drawers full of products I adored at one time.. yet never use because I found something better.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I can think of right now that I would not want to live without and have no other option for is my moisturizer.. Garnier moisture rescue gel creme. There is one similar product that I know of but it is a very expensive high end product.
I'm beginning to agree with you: if it was something I like to use everyday, I would probably buy enough back-up's to last me a while so I'll have ample time to search for a replacement. The only thing at this point that I would buy out the store of and then some would be the Up & Up Body Lotion (the one that is comparable to Aveeno).
DeleteNot a drugstore product, but I have hoarded Mary Kay's old style blush in Golden Canyon. It is the perfect color to add shape to my face and still has a great flushed color. I would also hoard OPI's Sand in My Suit, I wear that on my toes all year long because it looks good with everything and is great for the work place.
ReplyDeleteProbably maybelline falsies mascara in the purple tube and covergirl bedazzled biscotti eye shadow :)
ReplyDeleteWould have to be my too faced primer for eyeshadow. If I don't have that on, my es fades so fast. With that primer, I put my es on at 7am,,travel, work 8 hr, travel to the gym exercise at least 1 hour then travel home.. No creasing, even stays if I accidentally touch my eyes.
ReplyDeleteWet n Wild blush in Mellow Wine
