Why are the L'Oreal lipsticks of the stars so hard to find?
Why are the L'Oreal lipsticks of the stars so hard to find?
Posted by Colleen Shirazi, Monday, November 06, 2006 2:37 AM (Eastern)
Mind you, I'm typically the last to see any of the new stuff I've read about for weeks on the beauty boards...but this is almost weird.
L'Oreal has created several "star" lipsticks such as the aforementioned Milla's Plum, Aishwarya's Beige, Andie's (MacDowell) Rose Carmine, etc., along with some stuff for Scarlett Johansson.
Great idea, but the distribution, well, stinks. A (long) while ago I caught a (ransacked) Scarlett rack, and only recently actually saw some of the Scarlett stuff...and now, and only now, have I seen the Eva Longoria, Laetitia Casta, Aishwarya, Andie, and Noemi rack. And some of the stuff was gone here too. No Eva, some Laetitia (this looked like a bubbly pink-lemonade color), couple of Andie's (a sort of warm, pink-red, almost coral color), lone Aishwarya (now this looked gorgeous...one of those pink-brown things but a nice one), couple of Noemi's (deep dramatic plum from what I could see).
I was very tempted by Andie but had the suspicion it would be a little too bright on me. Besides, I'm holding out for that Milla's Plum Dain mentioned earlier--which was so NOT on the rack.
Moreover, there is supposed to be a Gong Li lipstick, and that likewise was nowhere to be found.
Odd L'Oreal note: these don't seem to be as scented as other L'Oreal lippies. It could be my imagination--out of curiosity, I sniffed one of the lipsticks. Same L'Oreal scent but seemingly less so.
