Are you aware that Pit Stop Pink has been discontinued?

Sad to say that there is nothing in the SeneGence line that is close although I have plenty of customers that use Mauve Ice or Sugar Plum to lighten/soften Plum.

Mauve Ice is lighter purple Mauve with a hint of shimmer much the same as Pit Stop Pink.

Sugar Plum is quite a bit lighter than Mauve Ice and has a more pronounced silver undertone sparkle.

Have you ever tried Sheer Berry LipSense? It is a purple based Mauve with a rich deep hue.

I am someone that likes alot of options but in the end you would probably enjoy Mauve Ice.

PLUM works very well for me. If I want softer color I top with PIT STOP PINK.

Now I am looking for something with a purple cast, not too dark. Suggestions?

I am a classic “summer”, almost red head with pinkish complexion.

I am concerned about steering you in a direction that will not necessarily compliment your coloring.

Cappuccino Lipsense is a favorite of many woman although I have seen very few that I feel are putting their Best face forward with the extreme nothingness of this color. It is however a very popular shade for those thirty somethings.

Baguette Beige Diamond LipSense would probably be a viable option provided you do not turn the color a bit too peach. I love this shade as a layering piece for many other lipsense lipcolors.

Glossy Gloss is your best bet because it will look a bit glossy at first but will offer maximum moisture for your lips while absorbing fast and not appearing noticeable.

I feel your pain! and certainly recognize that very many people are having difficult times. My personal feeling is that people wasting money in the past added to the current economic climate. Oops! Sorry about hitting a soapbox.

Thanks for your suggestion! Awesome idea and one that I am anxious to address.

Check out the newest post on the my website. Please do not purchase Cocoa thinking that it will replace Malted. Cocoa is a good color but extremely deep in pigment.

Praline Pave Diamond LipSense is Praline Rose LipSense with Diamond Dust instead of a slight glimmer that is in the original Praline Rose.
You would probably prefer the Praline Rose because the “glimmer” to it is very understated and many women do not even realize it’s existence in the shade.

Anyway, thanks “Laurie 21″ for clearing things up here. So many rumors so little time. Happy selling ladies!

Arbonne charges full tax on the retail cost of products because Arbonne is a “Network Marketing” Company that operates under different laws that have been created for such companies. A Network Marketing company is a company that allows persons to become “consultants” who will represent and sell their products. Even though those consultants may purchase the products at a discount, this is not the same as purchasing products on “sale”. Arbonne is not a retailer of product. Arbonne is a provider of product for the opportunity for consultant to create a home-based business. Arbonne has an agreement to collect the sales tax from each consultant to send it to the state in which they live so that consultants are free from the paperwork that comes with retailing products to their clients. The government assumes that the consultant charged her client full retail cost for products sold and has also charged her client full tax based on that sale.

Because Arbonne has over a million people buying products directly from the company, there is no way for the company to know what each consultant is doing with the products they purchase (ie. retailing or personal use.) The law has been created for Network Marketing companies like Arbonne, and this is the law that Arbonne abides by.

An Independent Consultant may choose to sell products at different prices than the suggested retail and deal directly with sales tax at that dollar amount, and may do so by applying for and obtaining a Business License and a State Sales Tax License, and submitting these to the Business Application department in Arbonne. In this case, the consultant will not pay sales tax to Arbonne at the time of purchase but instead will be responsible to pay those applicable taxes directly to the state. As it is, Arbonne pays the sales tax to each state for the Consultants as a service so that they do not need to handle that paperwork.
