Not true. When i bought a laptop i wish i got the black rose gold colour instead of the silver colour i purchased. I couldn't afford it back then. Although i'm satisfied with my laptop in the sense i can use it, I still desire the rose gold laptop a lot and have thoughts of one day selling my laptop to pursue the colour i wanted. This i think is another good example of my statement - 'people want to own the exact item of whatever they desire, not an alternative '
Sure, giving me a blue coloured santa suit might make me happy. But i'm still going to ask for a green coloured santa suit that i always want

I don't think you understand: yes, X alternate version might not satisfy everyone who desire after the original, but it'd satisfy some, and for those who weren't satisfied, Y, Z etc alternate versions, or even entirely new cosmetics, could be made, sooner or later satisfying the rest of them. Because the thing is that the human mind cannot fully comprehend something that doesn't yet exist, so while some people might even genuinely claim that only a certain cosmetic will ever satisfy them, that simply cannot be because true perfection like that does not exist. There can always be something else that you'll like more, you might just not realize it yet if you focus too much on what already exists and miss the forest for the trees.

There are people who desire something because they cannot have it, which is what I'd classify under "rarity desiring" because typically that is due to the desired thing being rare.
