I'm not actually burning the recipes or anything...the last thing I ever want to do is to leave you stranded without your favorite blush. I tend to be a bit less sentimental about lippies and eye shadows- but we're just about out of room! I promise to replace them with something cool- or at least bring them back every once in a while so that you can stock up- does that sound a bit better?

That's cool, the lesser-selling lines could be seasonally retired and brought back for a short time when you have one of those moments when a flurry of nostalgia and a whirl of creativity collide
From the swatches, Foxxy looks like it'd be one of the best two or three blushes for me. I'd be sorry to miss out, but I love the idea of revisiting it seasonally. Same with Teal Appeal - I love the swatch photo that appears in (with Dolce, an amazing lilac one and a gold one I forge the names of but need to own).
Oooh... sudden idea? How small a pot can they be sold in as one-offs or top-ups? Or very limited editions? Maybe they could be sold as a temporary line in (for example) sample sized amounts and prices instead of full sized. If they are less-loved, they may be used less frequently but still be on the must-own list for special occasions / special looks.

That would be great!
But, better something warm...

At the moment, I'm kind of desparate - the USD-EUR rate is getting worse every minute...
My proposal for a perfume dupe: Pure White Linen by Estee Lauder.

You and me, both. The (permanent) UK import limit is £18 which today is worth only $25. So I love that Karen's set specials where we can get something for a $10 order (this is where we need a "hug" smiley!)

I really like White Linen and have not seen it duped anywhere. I also like the original chloe (from the 80"s not the reformulated one). I do like also "clean" smells...I think those are easier to dupe.

Discontinued colours
I have Peach Melba lippie and really like it. It is not my favorite of SN lippies, but I am sad that it could disappear. Can it make a summer appearance?
I also sent my mother one (who loves warm colours) and I hope she does not need another one soon.
I have ordered all the blush colours that I think will look good on me and I am gradually ordering full sizes. For peachy blushes I like "wish you were here" and "Lovelace" and "Poppy" over "Sassy", "Rich" and others.

Thank Goodness. lol. I actually love teal appeal too but i don't see myself ever running out of it. It is a beautiful wearable shade and goes so great with breathe and high beam. Occassional revisiting sounds good. They don't take up space year round but aren't gone forever either. Sounds good.
I would love if you could manage to dupe "Red" even to just tell me HOW. lol. I can't quite figure out what's in it. I always describe it as "spicy sweet and good enough to eat" It's sort of a cinnamon vanilla-y candy scent but it's not REALLY cinnamon and it's not REALLY vanilla. Lure said they thought it smelled like Aquolina's "Pink Sugar" but they're just not the same. lol

How long will the products which are bound to disappear stay available ? If you have any idea of course... I don't need a peach-melba like lippie right now, I'd better wait for spring-time, but if it's soon out of stock... (I know that there are darling and foreplay but I prefer non-shimmery ones) Thanks!
