When They Stop Selling Your Favorite Thing
Briefly

Elizabeth Spiridakis Olson, a creative director from New Jersey, has relied on NARS' Dragon Girl lip pencil for 15 years, appreciating its unique shade of red and consistency. When she discovered it had been replaced at Sephora by a new product deemed inferior, she felt panicked. In a fervent response to its discontinuation, she immediately purchased as many Dragon Girl pencils as possible from NARS' website, hoping to preserve enough to last her for years, despite uncertain storage conditions.
For 15 years, Elizabeth Spiridakis Olson used a matte lip pencil in a shade of red called Dragon Girl. In her view, it was one of the great reds, and the perfect consistency.

Her stash should last her many years. It's so pigmented, you're not reapplying it a ton.
