Lipstuck

Continuing on the theme of loyalties, I just found out that my favorite MAC shade of lipstick has been reformulated. It�s been converted from Tone to Lustre (their new texture) and I am so disappointed. It took me forever to discover the color and I have been faithful to it for eons. Oh sure, I occasionally mix it up depending on the season, my outfit, my mood... but I always go back. It's a great color, and you can wear it sheer or layer it for added depth + drama. Who doesn't want Added Drama???

It�s occurred to me that I may be freaking out unnecessarily. What if the color is the same and I prefer the new texture? What if the color is somehow improved (don�t see how this is even possible) and the texture is a non-issue? What if it�s like the 6 Million Dollar Man--faster, stronger, better than ever? What if?

I just hope they haven�t fucked up my favorite lipstick. I would hate to part with even a smidgeon of Desire in order to send it to be color-matched by those wiley Custom Color Specialist folks.

Maybe I should run to the store and see if they have old and new versions of the lipstick so I can do a color/texture comparison, and then either buy the new one or clean out the shop�s reserves of the old one?

If I didn�t have so much work to do, like I would totally run down to the mall! Can�t get more Southern California than that. Like, oh my god!

At least, the mall�s not the Galleria...
