One thing I hate is when a product I love becomes discontinued! It breaks my heart. I am all nostalgic today thinking about the past, so I thought I'd give you a look at my most missed lip products!
1. LORAC Lip Addiction in Super Hot--best plumper ever!
2. This rosemary mint lip balm that was sold at bath and body works! I can't for the life of me remember exactly what it was called, but I loved it. It had the perfect texture, and it is the only goo I my boyfriend would kiss! If you remember it--let me know what it was!
3. Urban Decay Lip Pencil in Lounge---this was the most perfect color, the exact pinky shade of my lips. I don't use lip liner much so I am hoping that I never run out.
4. Christian Dior Shine Addict lipcolor in #222--not the new, reformulated color. The old one was perfect. It made your lips look slightly wet and very sexy.
5. Urban Decay Lip Gunk- (come on Urban Decay!) These were the best lippies! They tasted like a yummy treat, but still had a grown up sheen. I loved Shifty (a bronze summery gloss) and Cherry.
6. Cover Girl Lipslicks in a Hint of Shimmering Sandstone- one of the best drugstore buys ever! Very creamy and fool proof in a gorgeous nude shimmer.
7.Lancome Juicy Tube in Fifth Avenue Frosting---I miss you!
8. Revlon Line and Shine- Brillinat, a lipline on one end, gloss on the other. A time and space saver in great colors! Nude Shine, Toast Shine and Buff Shine were winners.
9. Smashbox Fusion Lip Illusion---probably the most strange looking product--black gloss on one end and white on the other, each end, mixed with your favorite lipsticks and gloss each gloss turned your beauty loot into new shades. Black for deeper berry lips (and a delicious berry sent!) and white was perfect for lighening up thoes too dark lip shades (with a vanilla sent!) A must have, and a must bring back if I do say so myself.
10. Vincent Longo Baby Balm--okay this one isn't discontinued, but you can't find the brand at Sephora or Ulta anymore, which makes for a major annoyance in my life.
So what is a girl to do when her favorite lippie is discontinued? You can pay big bucks to have a colorist match it and make a new one, or you can sieze the opportunity to stock up on new stuff and find a new favorite.

Hello my love. I was just watching planet green today (no I'm not turning into a tree huggin, crazy environmentalist I was just bored and like to torture myself with knowing facts about how all the things I use in my life seem to have irreparable damage to either myself or the planet...its exhausting) They were talking about the toxic ingredients in some lip sticks and thought I'd share some of these facts with you. They claim that almost all lip sticks contain led for its abilities to help hold pigments. (As I'm sure you know lead has been linked to brain damage.) While the amount of lead in lip stick is small over time it can accumulate in your body. However about 1/3 of all manufacturers do not use led in there products. I think I might go on-line and try to find out who these manufacturers are because from now on every time I go to put something on my lips I'm going to picture eatin pain chips :( there are also more organic lip colors available I wanted to look into... Sorry.. I hope this doesn't bug you as much as it's going to bug me!!
Smashbox fusion one sound waaaay interesting. I tried commenting on the other blog but ran into an error. Will try again later, I guess.
