UD Rebel lipstick. It was limited edition to begin with, but I had two or three tubes that I bought and then Urban Decay PR sent me five or six more when they heard it was my favorite, so I’ll be wearing that until it goes rancid, LOL. It’s just such a perfect shade of mauve-pink with a lil’ pearl–luminous, comfortable, pigmented, and goes with everything.

TOO LATE….it was MAC Craving. I cannot believe they discontinued it (and a few other wonderful shades from the Amplified Cream formula). I’m glad I’ve got some backups (I’ll probably keep using them even AFTER they go rancid!) and I’m at a loss as to what I’ll do after that!
The thing that people tend to describe as “rancid” really isn’t that they went bad, just that they lost their original scent and that the castor oil turned. Thankfully, this won’t make anyone sick!
MAC Powder Kiss in A Little Tamed is my absolute go-to. Not too bright for work, wears evenly on me. I think I have five of them haha
Colourpop Tootsie was my favorite, I have one left but it’s nearly gone
Many of my MAC lippies… Velvet Teddy, Kinda Sexy, Syrup.
I live in fear of Tom Ford discontinuing Flamingo before I’ve found a 100% dupe for it
I really regret throwing out my UD firebird before getting a replacement. There’s an online company you can send colors into and they will customize color to match lipstick
Three Custom Color. They do a great job! They also do eye shadow, blush, and other things. I’ve had them match a lipstick and an eyeshadow duo.
UD Depends on Traffic is the perfect nude for me.
I love this shade, and what a great formula! (Though on me it’s more brown than “nude.”)
Sephora Collection Rouge Lacquer Long-Lasting Lipstick in Squad Goals and Riot Girl, Burt’s Bees Lip Shimmer in Fig, and Black Moon Cosmetics Liquid to Matte in Ashes and Metallic in Castle.
Actually, make that all my Black Moon Cosmetics liquid lipsticks.
I have two partial tubes and one or two full tubes of the DC’d UD Sheer Rapture left, and I will use up every bit of those, as it’s my perfect MLBB shade.
It seems like most of my favorites already have been discontinued the last few years, or have been reformulated to be vegan and/or “clean,” and aren’t really the same shade any more. 😭
There are a two that immediately come to mind: MAC Bronx (it’s the combination of the color with the retro matte finish that make this one unique) and Chanel Pirate (the most perfect red lipstick in every way!).
Christine, WHICH UD one is your favorite? You didn’t mention the shade name 😂
Rebel
Thankfully, I did get backups for a few that already been DC’d: UD Catfight, MAC Royally Riotous, etc. Unfortunately, there are others that have been unceremoniously and very quietly DC’d that are favorite HG’s for me that I wasn’t able to get backups of because of the reasons I stated, but I will STILL use them up anyway because I love how they look and feel on me: PML’s She’s Heaven and Strangé, and UD Broken and Violate.
MAC Diva, and I’ll probably even brake my rule of always following expiration / batch dates and wear old lipstick. 😅
MAC Tres Blase from their Love Me line. It’s my perfect not-quite-nude.
Maybelline’s Spice for Me and MAC’s Fresh Moroccan – the two lipstick shades that suit just about everything I wear. I have quite a few back ups of Spice for Me, but probably need another one of Fresh Moroccan – which is quite expensive here ($30+).
Pat McGrath Rose Quartz Astral must remain in my life forever
I’ve heard of some people keeping unopened lipstick multiples in the freezer to keep them “fresh.” Have anyone here heard of people doing that or done that yourself?
UD F-Bomb, such a lovely red, it’s DCed already, isn’t it. I do have a backup. UD Venom.
MAC Syrup, Hey Frenchie, Rebel and so, so many more.
Maybelline Pink for Me.
These are some of my most used lipsticks I think, I may have forgotten some.
YSL’s Rouge Pur Couture Rouge Rose. After twenty years it’s still my favourite colour and I don’t know how many tubes I’ve bought. Because so many of my other favourites have been discontinued (Uslu Airlines BIR, PML Luxetrance Psycho Candy, Marc Jacobs Le Marc Lip Creme Strawberry Girl, Bobby Brown Artstick and Rich Lip Color in several bold shades) I hope, this shade will continue to be produced.
Bun Bun!!!
Too late, it was viva glam IV, the plummy brown one. Nothing compares! Also the pink one from the Cinderella collection.
Dior Stellar Shine in Sideral (612). It’s a sparkly plummy brown. It’s DC but I’m hoping they bring it back with the next reformulation. Also UD Sheer Rapture, UD Firebird, UD Jilted, Lancôme Color Design Lipstick in Fashion Icon, PML Rose Quartz lip balm (I love it on me so much but rarely use it because I am hoarding it).
I miss Stila’s Color Balm lipstick so much. My favorite shade was Gemma.
feels basic to say, but CT Pillow Talk just works on me and is a total no brainer everyday shade
Rose Inc in Eloquent, Maybelline Ruby for Me, and MAC Lovers Only
It really *must* suit you… every single time I ask you what you’re wearing because it’s not identified… it turns out to be Rebel!
