This seller has all of the shades! And it's not nearly as much as the $30 one you found. He has a ton of other discontinued and hard to find makeup as well. It's definitely worth checking out :)<BR/><BR/>www.stores.ebay.com/boxlots222Mommy2Alexeihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01377135489734842923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15196744.post-29853914687910853072006-11-21T14:23:00.000-05:002006-11-21T14:23:00.000-05:00i saw a huge display in my CVS near D.C.

Eva's color was gone, and half of Aishwarya's were too.<br />I was thinking about getting the Beige, and I still might ( i am not lucky enough to have your olive skin! ).<br />They really need to make testers available at the drugstores, even if you test it on your hand you can get a better idea of the finish.Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17650516966766205671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15196744.post-24587407957278782172006-11-17T22:42:00.000-05:002006-11-17T22:42:00.000-05:00Piya, now you've got me wanting to try this Penelo...Piya, now you've got me wanting to try this Penelope shade. My husband found the Aishwarya Beige and the Eva Longoria lipticks I have from France, but where I live in U.S., I doubt I'll get to see the rest of the shades in this line. And there is no way I'm going to pay more than the price of a Chanel lipstick to buy a Loreal lipstick off eBay. I've never seen a company screw up distribution of a product so badly.<br /><br />If you're looking for a nice plum by the way, try Bobbi Brown Rum Raisin or Clinique Black Violet. Those are my favorite picks for desi skin.<br /><br />desimom, I like your screenname! And I can totally relate. I'm lucky I had the experience of managing one first before I had to take care of twin newborns and a two year old. Coffee is my drug of choice, second only to a fine brewed chai.Chic Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12883236924370716198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15196744.post-70352744315046319122006-11-17T21:01:00.000-05:002006-11-17T21:01:00.000-05:00Found your blog as I searched for Ash's lipstick. ...Found your blog as I searched for Ash's lipstick. What kept me reading was that you're a mom to twins. I am also...boy/girl and I also have a newborn. Three's definitely a challenge. Only diff. is that my twins came first. Totally unprepared to be a first time Mom to twins...Brooke Sheilds' got nothin' on me!

Piya here Re: L'Oreal Star Confessions.
WA...Hello! Piya here Re: L'Oreal Star Confessions.<br /><br />WALGREENS! In the most non-descript display possible...cleverly hidden from potential consumers. In fact, NOBODY had noticed Star Confessions b/c all the lipsticks were still there when I happened upon it. The corresponding lipliners have nothing to do with the lipsticks at all.<br /><br />I'm also astounded by how poorly this product has been marketed. The display was tiny, not more than 2ft wide and placed on the top shelf of a free-standing case next to all the low-budget makeup (WetnWild, anyone?). Anyway, the shades they were marketing at this Walgreens were Penelope Cruz, Kerry Washington, Aishwarya Rai, Milla Jovovich, and Laetitia Casta (I know I spelled those last two incorrectly). NO Eva Longoria, Gong Li, Andie MacDowell or Michelle Yeoh shades.<br /><br />So naturally I hoofed it back to Walgreens a day later and picked up two more tubes of Penelope's Red. It's just amazing with my skintone. It is hard to find reds that work with my skin. It is nice and bright, great coverage but still sheer enough not to look cakey.<br /><br />I'm tempted to try Milla's Plum...not too far off from an amazing Lancome shade I have in my handbag.<br /><br />One more thing. In my Walgreens the Star Confessions display only had four (4) lipsticks of each color and the display is the only place you will find them in the store. I took three out of four of the Penelope shade. Slim pickins!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
