As I am sure most of you out there know, Prescriptives, the 30 year old beauty brand under the Estee Lauder company, will be officially closing down at the end of this month (Jan 2010). Most of the counters in my area are already broken down and are a figment of my own cosmetic imagination.
I've known about this since last fall (Sept, maybe?) and for some unfortunate reason, it didn't really hit me until New Years that Px was seriously about to be gone. Like, seriously. Because I didn't buy any back ups of my beloved foundation. Doh!
Luckily, about 2 wks ago, I found some sites that sold what I needed in my shades and I will be okay for a little while, but the fact that I have to now go and find a new brand to match me (which I hadn't found) still makes me upset. Px realized that while brown skinned women do have yellow undertones, and sometimes red or orange as well, not EVERY woman needs the one undertone accentuated through her makeup. (Please take note, Bobbi Brown...sigh) Px kept it pretty neutral and remembered that some of us are olived toned, too. So, yeah--big loss for the team, y'all...
So join me on Jan. 31, 2010, pouring out a little liquor for my homies...
Peace/love.
