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.
