When real things happen to imaginary people

Remember ages ago, when there was a rumor going around (that none of us ElderGoths could verify) that Chanel was going to discontinue Vamp lipstick? And how when I went and asked someone at the local Chanel counter, they scoffed and said "Oh, don't be silly. It's a classic color"?

Grrrr: Guess what's discontinued?

Even more grrr: after years and years of lipstick experimentation, I had just come to the final realization that yes, Vamp was pretty much my One True Lipstick Color. I have one tube left, and had been planning on purchasing a new one in the near future. Or asking Sandy Claws to bring me one.

I have been told (mostly by Makeup Alley) that Rouge Noir is the replacement for it. The only problem is that I have a tube of Rouge Noir (from when you could only get it imported from Europe), and it isn't Vamp. Vamp is the perfect pomegranate black cherry wine; Rouge Noir has brown undertones. (Which are great for some people, but not for me.)

So. Anyone have any tubes of Chanel Vamp they don't want? Let me know! Maybe we can work out a swap. I have lots and LOTS of other cosmetics and BPAL. Not to mention fabric, vintage trims, and ... stuff.

My BPAL order showed up today. While the 2007 edition of Beaver Moon is not quite as glorious as the 2005 edition, it is quite nice. I have other BPAL I can offer in trade!

5ml bottles:

Enraged Orangutan Musk (forum exclusive)
The Tell-Tale Heart
Lydia (C13 LE)
Shanghai Tunnel (C13 LE)
Pumpkin III (2007 version)
Harvest Moon 2004 (the bottle is half-full)

My list of imps is under the cut tag!
( Imps. Lots of 'em, and sadly not in alphabetical order )

I have no idea how many imps to offer for a bottle of Beaver Moon 2007. If there are imps you want to swap for, make me an offer!
