I will title this:
Mourning the Loss of Toffee
So, like many women, I have a favorite lipstick. It is Garden Botanika's Toffee. When I heard they were going out of business, I ran to the nearest GB and bought myself the last Toffee lipstick they had in stock. For a year now, I have had this color. I usually only wear it at night. I was starting to run low on it so about a month ago, I checked GB's online store so I could order a tube. To my dismay, Toffee was not listed on there. I grabbed my phone and called their customer service. The rep told me that the color had been discontinued!!!
I asked how it could be discontinued and she said that it must've been cause nobody was buying it. Now, I know that's not true because my friend Maria loves that color too. I told the rep that and she answered very sarcastically, "Well, then you two were probably the only two."
So, I decided that I would use this lipstick sparingly. I would wear it only for special occasions. In the meantime, I have searced for a color just as good as Toffee and nothing compares. The lipstick is either too light or too dark or stains my lips an awful pink color (yuck!).
I decided to wear the lipstick tonight to my ZTA meeting because it was a special occasion...Homecoming serenades. At the end of the meeting, I reached into my purse to grab my Toffee lipstick when I realized it was missing. My purse doesn't zip up all the way so it probably fell out. I looked all over the house for the lipstick and couldn't find it. I looked for a good 45 minutes. Every sister would say to me, "ZTAngel, do you really need it that bad?" and I would reply through clenched teeth "YES!". It was like a cocaine addict who needed their drug fix....I NEEDED MY TOFFEE LIPSTICK!
I called Maria on my cell phone to see if she had a tube that she could spare but she only had one left which she was using.
So, GCers, we have helped each other through dating crises, bad break ups, and other events. If any of you all know what lipstick color I'm talking about (have seen it before) and know of a color that compares, let me know. Or, if you happen to know wear I can find this color, let me know. I will be so happy!
