I've taken to keeping lippy in the fridge. Not the most original answer to your question but they do seem to last longer. I've got several which must be well over a year old if not nearly two years old and I noticed one was starting to turn, so I refrigerated them all. Since then, none of the others...

Tell me about it. My "this is the last order this side of the Lottery cheque arriving" order hadn't even arrived and I'd rattled off another one for this new collection. Like a moth to a lightbulb, I was in there and ordered before the new thread started. At least I'll look pretty in the b...

Not a good representation except to show difference in depth. They're both warmer in real life. Hairpin is a deeper brown with lots of gold, maybe a few fleck...

Yeah, I know. *sigh* What takes the sting out of it is that you're honest about it all. That, and the fact SN is still head and shoulders above the pack. Some indie brands start at twice SN prices, like for like, and at far less advanced formulas and finishes. Another brand I stopped using 3 years a...
