Where can I buy this? I think it’s been discontinued

MY 2 CENTS
I picked this lipstick up at a Shiseido warehouse sale last month and I’m so happy I did!The color I got is the one shown in the picture. It’s called “real rose” and it’s a very bright pink, almost fuschia color.This is the longest lasting lipstick I had ever used. After eating breakfast and lunch, and drinking, this lipstick was still on. I didn’t even have to reapply it because it looked like it did first thing when I put it on in the morning. It started fading after a very sweaty hot yoga session and even then, it didn’t look bad.Even after eating and drinking, my lips still felt really smooth and moist for most of the day. I usually apply lipchap over my lipstick after it starts drying out but I didn’t have to do that until well after lunch.This lipstick line is super pigmented, too (even on my naturally red pigmented lips)I really wish I could find this lipstick line again but unfortunately, it looks like it’s been discontinued. Such a shame because I would have loved to buy more colors! Oh well, I guess I just have to treasure the one that I do have and try another Shiseido lipstick line.Have you tried or do you use another Shiseido lipstick line? If yes, which one? I would love your opinion on it!

SIDE NOTE: the NYX fuschia from the “Dance in Africa” palette is a lip gloss, not a lipstick, but similar in colour.

    Hi Anna, I have the same Shiseido #12 Real rose lipstick and mine is almost gone. I love this lipstick but can’t find it anywhere, so unhappy that they discontinued this high quality product.

      I still have some of mine left but I’ll be so sad when it runs out, too :(
