That one week where everyone wanted the same 90s brown lip liner

I went through three tubes of 'Spice' in four days and had to drive to the next town over to find more. Has this ever happened to you with a specific product blowing up out of nowhere?

Remember when that Essence clear lip gloss went viral last year. I saw people buying it by the handful at the drugstore. It felt like everyone was chasing that one perfect thing at the same time. Honestly, I just sat those weeks out. The hype makes the product impossible to find and then you feel let down when you finally get it. I'd rather stick with my usual stuff and avoid the frenzy.

Totally get what you mean about sitting it out. The whole cycle just feels so forced after a while. You see a product everywhere online, then the stores are empty, and the reviews are all over the place. By the time you try it, the moment has passed and you're just left with another okay gloss. It's smarter to wait and see if people are still talking about it months later. Real hits stick around without all the crazy rush.

Ever feel like you're buying the hype, not the product?
