Not a very catchy title but I am too angry to care! I have been wearing this lipstick for all my adult life (whispers - a long time!). Bastarding Boots No 7 have 'reformulated' it and the rest of their products and it's now a darker browny purple and unrecognisable on. it makes my teeth look yellow, my face look corpse like and just doesn't suit me. I know we have more pressing matters in life but I feel really sad about this - it's like losing an old friend. I am also puzzled why they would change their best selling lipstick colour? I have written and complained (no reply yet). If anyone else wears it please write too and maybe they will change it back!

Well said Macdonald9 - I obviously agree. I will move on - I have no choice. Well done to all my crusaders - keep fighting and look gorgeous while you're doing it!

I feel your pain op.

The same happened to me with Virgin Vie when they discontinued a rose lippy I loved.

Sad I am down to my last little bit of Plum Beautiful and went to search for it on Ebay because I'm tight and things normally cheaper on there and had no luck, so did a general google search and up came this thread!

I can't believe they have discontinued it!! I am a creature of habit and this colour really suited me Angry

I'm not sure what Plum Beautiful is like but I've worn Rosewood so presume I like similar shades. Anyway, I like Rich Plum by Maybelline No 315. So, maybe that's close? Would be good to tell No 7 to shove it if they don't listen to customers.
