    Default Perscriptives Lip Gloss Rave

    Hey ladies, I have to tell you all about my awesome experience yesterday!

    So I have this really old lip gloss that I'm in love with. The manufacturer claims that they still make the same color, but there's a significant difference. My color is a super pale & frosty pink (sample), and the "new color" which has the same name and item number is much brighter and not as frosty (sample). Anyhow, I've wasted a ton of money trying to find a lip gloss or color that is the same as mine.

    Then I remembered that the Prescriptives counter (in department stores) custom mixes make-up. So I went to the local Perscriptives counter to ask if they do lip glosses... and sure enough they do! No all of the Perscriptives counters do custom mixes, so check their website ahead or go find out which ones do. I needed to go to a different store, which I did yesterday.

    I went to Macy's yesterday and had the ladies at the Perscriptives booth there do a custom blend lip gloss for me. I can't rave enough about the experience! It was awesome! They do the matching and blending by hand and then write down the recipe for your custom blend in case you come back. All I had to do was bring in my old lip gloss tube so they had a color sample.

    I walked out with a tube of the perfect color for $28! I think I've easily wasted more than that searching & buying products that didn't turn out to be the same thing.

    That's actually really cool! You mean your original lipgloss wasn't Prescriptives brand? They'll match any color you need?

    ^^^ My original lipgloss was Wet 'n' Wild's Sinless ( 578 ). They mixed a color that matches it perfectly!

    Wet 'n' Wild's new version of 578 is totally different! It's far too dark.

    Ladies there are software devices out there that help you find a match between your skin color and the right makeup color.

    Hah I know how you feel I wear the same color (good choice btw!!) with dark eyes and I have about 50 different lip products that aren't quite the right color... I don't know if we have Prescriptives counters up in Canada? but I hope so!

    I found lip gloss I loved at www.sephora.com and it's cheap. Actually mine was free! It was part of their birthday gift set that they send to you if you ever order from them. Little off topic, but if your on a budget you might get their sampler set for 14.95 and then I think the individual ones are only $4 or so. They have a lot of great stuff that they make under their brand (sort of designer rip off type deals) and it's cheap. You also get all sorts of free samples and shipping as well as a rewards program that is actually attainable to get enough points to get free stuff. Look for promotion codes before you finalize your order to get more free stuff. Sorry, little bit off topic, but I'm in love with them!
