Make-up Wars

I am fully convinced cosmetic companies purposely introduce new make-up products only to then discontinue them once you have depleted the purchased item you've inevitably grown to love. This has happened to me (and many other women I know) time and time again). It is for this very reason I believe the discontinuance is due to either some clever marketing scheme (that consumers are unaware of) or some jack wagon CEO who thinks it’s funny to have people fall in love with a product only to then discontinue it. While shopping this weekend I “attempted” to match my (now discontinued) blush as closely as possible to the "new line of blush products". As I was getting ready for work this morning I realized there was a definite discrepancy between the two colors. Without shame I freely admit I dumped out my make-up bag and used my bronzer/blush brush in order to scrape up and use the last few crumbs of my former blush for my face.
