Lipstick Crisis

Yes, this qualifies as a crisis for me, especially now that I am at the point of scraping down the sides of the tube each morning, and the applicator wand was not meant to do that. It's a design flaw really because how am I supposed to get the stuff clinging to the top of the tube? I'll probably try a Q-tip, but those absorb a lot and I really need as much as I can for my lips.


Amie introduced me to Cover Girl Outlast lip color several years ago, and it was a major breakthrough for me because I've never had a lipstick color I loved, nor had I ever had a lipstick that would actually stay on for a long time, and this one did both!


After a few years, they discontinued my shade (gasp!). I didn't panic, I immediately searched ebay and found all kinds of sources for it. Apparently I thought it would always be there on ebay or that my stash would last forever, but not so. The past couple weeks have found me doing fruitless searches on ebay and scraping the sides of both the tube in my bathroom AND the one in my purse (oh the humanity!).

I can't find it listed on ebay and I can't find it on the Cover Girl website either. I think it has been discontinued for so long that they don't even have any info on it. I've been stalking the aisles at Wal-Mart and Target holding up my almost-empty tube trying to find a similar color, but nothing looks even close. I'm afraid to try something new because I'm not willing to pay $8 for a bad match. Aargh!

I don't even know if I have another day left with this tube, so I'm going to be looking even less presentable than usual.

**Has this happened to you?
Do you have a lipstick that stays on?
Any color recommendations?
Please help!**
