So Bobbi Brown discontinued OIL-FREE EVEN FINISH FOUNDATION SPF 15 and no one told ME!


So I'm telling you ;)


This has been my favorite foundation of all time *somebody cue Kayne West* OFF ALL TIME! The one that allowed me to quit searching for the perfect color, the one the garners the most compliments "you look flawless girl" and the one that doesn't break me out like a teenage girl.


So much to my surprise, as I attempted to replenish my stock yesterday I found that it had been narrowed down to only (2) options to choose from...neither of which being my preferred shade. After a quick Live Chat session (those artists are really great by the way) I learned that it had been discontinued to make way for a new and improved formula which will be available at some point in the near future. Time and Date...unexact but it's said to be within a month and I'm on pins and needles. I like new and improved but in a world filled with constant email BLASTS and promotions couldn't someone have hit the sent button on that little tidbit of information? DUDE! The anouncement that Clinque's Prescriptives brand was to be no longer went out seasons ago and yet they are still hanging out at the mall everytime I go. Haven't seen a sale on that either by the way... not that I'm looking lol.

So anyhow here I am in between foundations and feeling helpless. Im trying to hold out for the new stuff and thus decided to work with an imposter DS brand to tide me over (guess i should add that this Maybelline Liquid Dream Mousse isn't half bad). I'm a foundation snob for the record.
A couple of sites that I searched (NM & Macys) did have a bit more shades to choose from so be quick on right clicks and don't get caught bare faced like I did. In the meantime, I am actually excited about the new formula and will review as soon as it gets in. It's supposed to have incorporated new technology that will allow the formula to actually absorb the oil that plagues us. Sounds like a tall order but we shall see...
