For about a month now, I've been actively seeking a replacement to my all time favorite lippie, Maquillage Perfect Glossy Rouge. I know that I could order it online from a couple of places but it's so expensive. I recently discovered it's available on Adam Beauty for a very reasonable price. I will now have to wait a long while to buy it because...well, keep on reading and you'll understand why. As you can see, it's down to me having to use a lipbrush to get to the very end of it.
I like Laura Mercier Stick Gloss but there is only a very few colors and most are not to my liking. Thanks to beauty bloggers on Twitter, I received a few suggestions. There was also a very active discussion and excitement about the Chanel Coco Rouge Shine Trio Set. So, in this last month, here is what I ended up with to try to find a replacement for that one favorite lipstick:
Five different lipsticks! Thank you dear lovelies (you know who you all are) for being such enablers. What happened to my no buy resolve? Well, I did say that I would buy only what I need to replace so I'm trying to replace that one favorite lippie. How's that for reasoning? I will be doing reviews on these in the upcoming days.
Now, onto my our surprise announcement...
It's a little late but we wanted to do a giveaway in celebration of Mother's Day. We also noticed that we now have 107 public followers and wanted to say thank you. This time I used random.org to choose the winner.

This is a lovely surprise! Thank you so much for being so generous and thoughtful ^^
Did you manage to find a replacement? Do any of these five lippies fit the bill?
@Blair--You're welcome! Please don't forget to email me your mailing address. I will get it out to you as soon as I can, but it might not be until next week if this week ends up being super crazy busy at work.
As for the replacement--yeah, kind of. I may need to go back to check on a better color match though, consistency/feel wise, I found a similar one.
