No Comments »I must say I am disappointed to hear around the beauty world that cosmetic company Estee Lauder will discontinue the manufaturing of the Precriptives beauty line. As one of my first and favorite cosmetics lines since middle school, this news didn’t bode well with me. AS of January 21, 2010, Prescriptives will be closing its ‘doors’ and will sell items online until inventory is sold out. I must say I always looked forward to their Christmas packages and my mom would pick one out for me every year for Christmas. Oh and their makeup brushes are(were) amazing! I need to replace a few of mine that Cooper got a hold of before they are gone. Is it weird that I almost want to cry that they are going out of business? Probably so. Anyways, here are some of my most loved products that I am tempted to snap up before they are long gone forever:
Anywhere Compact – comparable to the coverage you get with MAC Studio Fix without the risk of breakouts. Also can be used dry or with a wet foundation brush for a dewy finish.
Photochrome Foundation – I actually have used this as a concealer for daytime, it masks redness like nothing else without the cakiness.
Moonbeam Reflective Lipgloss – also comparable to MAC lipglass, but I always liked the sampler pack of colors around the holidays.
Longwear Kohl Liner in Slate – anyone who makes a nice looking deep grey liner is a winner in my book
Foundation Brush – I have GOTTA get another one of these before they are gone. Cooper managed to knaw the entire end of my handle and I have been ‘making do’ since the brush still works.
Powder Brush – I have had this same powder brush since the sixth grade and despite a little evil dog, it has held up almost like new with regular washings. Another must purchase for me. The best thing about these brushes is their durability and prior to going out of business they were guaranteed for life. I actually had two different brushes replaced by the company because some of the bristles started falling out.
All You Need Moisturizer – If I had the money I would buy every bottle of this moisturizer I could get my hands on. It is that amazing. I have used it off and on since middle school and have never found anything better for my oily skin. The only deterrent for me was the price once I started buying my own beauty products in college.
It is a sad, sad day in my beauty world. Anyone else love Prescriptives like I do (did)?
PS. Mom, you need some early Christmas ideas? There ya go
