Agreed. I am still waiting for the return of Suede lipgloss by Bobbi Brown. It was a great sheer, sparkle-free pale nude without looking chalky on my Michelle Obama complexion, and a great nude on my friend’s Beyonce complexion.
There are so many shades of pink available, but the same is not the case with brown. Most foundations for my skin are too reddish in undertone (RIP Prescriptives).
For what it’s worth, Prescriptives is still available online.

Because today’s TPS jacket was linen…
Good catch. She does say not to wear anything that is 100% linen, which this jacket is.
