Q: I think Wet and Wild discontinued my lip color, and I cannot recreate it with other brands. The color is 370S Lolly Popstar. I found some used on eBay for $44! Can you help? Thanks. — Marcia Jaffe, Sandy Springs

A: Marcia. I see three tubes on Amazon for $32.99 each, which is a lot, but, unfortunately, that’s what often happens when a product gets discontinued. I looked at the 370S Lolly Popstar lipstick on eBay, and the $44 price is for three new and sealed tubes. So, while that’s far above the $3 price tag you probably paid for the original lipstick, that’s not a terrible deal. The other online marketplace where I found Wet n Wild MegaShield 370S Lolly Popstar was bonanza.com. The site currently stocks about three tubes, each selling for $32.66, not including shipping, making that eBay listing a decent deal after all.
