When your favorite product gets discontinued, do you stock up or move on?

When your favorite product gets discontinued, do you stock up or move on?

If it’s something I can actually use and feel like I’ll go through, I may get a backup, but I usually just move on. I’ve found that I’m slow to get through backups no matter what, and I also tend to use more recently released products when I do get to return to things anyway.

New Hair Color -- Desert Sunset Balayage

I'm back with new hair color!  The inspiration was a mashup between "galaxy" hair (purple, pink, teal, blue, like this one) and "sunset" hair (pink purple, orange, like I originally had here) with more contrast and less blending compared to my past iterations (as inspired by this reference photo)....

What was the last holy grail, discontinued product you had to replace?

What was the last holy grail, discontinued product you had to replace?

The one that comes to mind first is Guerlain Parure Gold (which has since been reformulated/rereleased but isn’t the same), and I ended up replacing it with Tarte’s Rainforest of the Sea (which is quite nice, so I don’t miss Parure Gold much these days).
