So last summer, I got some of Revlon’s “Just Bitten” lipstain. The commercials claimed it to be “long lasting” which is something I need when wearing costumes all day long.
I LOVED it! I liked it for wearing outside of costumes, too! For costumes, it was easier to put on than regular lipstick for me (I think because it’s like a marker), functioned as a lipliner as well, and provided a great base for other colours (I really liked putting my MAC “Myth” over it). And it really was long lasting. I had 3-4 colours but far and away my favourite was “twilight.”
So earlier this year I noticed “Twilight” was starting to run a little dry after a few strokes, so I made a mental note to get a new one next time I was out shopping. I stopped by the makeup section at Target….. and there was no Just Bitten anywhere. I don’t know if it was like that everywhere, but at my Target, they were gone. No big deal, because a quick look at my phone showed they were still on the Revlon site, and still had Twilight listed, so I just had to order from online, I guess.
Well sometime between Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning at Momocon, my Twilight disappeared. I figured it was lost down in my makeup bin, though a cursory search didn’t turn it up. I used something else for that day, and later in the week, went through my makeup bin top to bottom, and it was nowhere to be found. Nor was it in my hair accessories bag, or in my medicine bag – the only other things that were in the bathroom with it.
I began to think housekeeping had taken it, Or it had rolled into the garbage and gotten thrown away! Whatever it was, it was gone and I was pretty sad.
This past weekend I realized that they’re not sold everywhere anymore. Most places that carry Just Bitten didn’t have Twilight, at least not in the places I found. I found a seller on amazon selling 2 of them, new and unopened, so I bought them. They came today and went to take them to put away in my makeup bin…… and there was my original Twilight, sitting right on top.
WTF! I swear it wasn’t there before. I swear I’ve gone through that stupid bin twice. I think some elf or something had and snuck it back in.
Oh well, I have 3 now. Should last me a while.
