Really fed up. I've found a fabulous bodywash that Avon make(made) Oatmeal.... Its so lovely and good for my skin as doesn't affect my eczema... Went to order some more and its vanished from book and website. 😔 😔 😔
My lovely Avon lady has ordered me six bottles which I hope come in. Its on Ebay and Amazon but a lot more money... Grrr!!

Avon skinsosoft used to be an awesome midge repellant, v popular in Scotland. Now they've changed the recipe and it doesn't work anymore!

Obviously they bastards have never been beset by the midge.

Redken Pure Moisture Shampoo - the only one that made my fine hair manageable and with some body..

I’ve not quite forgiven M&S for discontinuing their pina colada yogurt. Actually I’m incredibly bitter over it!

Yes! I’d completely forgotten about that..haven’t shopped in m&s since i left home :).

They also discontinued a fab asian style soup. I dislike soup generally but this one was different. Never forgiven them for making me buy sandwiches for work lunch...

I'm in Australia and I couldn't believe it when coke discontinued coke zero here last year. It's the best one! I suppose it turned out for the best as I did drink too much of it.

Benefit bene tint lip gloss in a lot. I loved it :(

And green and blacks with cherry :(

M&S buttered jacket potato flavour crisps. low fat yet tasted like a jacket potato smoothered in butter. were amazing

Reckons dry skin lotion in the 1980s, also their Flex shampoo and conditioner in the same decade.

You can still buy them online but they are completely different formulations.

Body Shop Dewberry.

I loved the Dewberry shower gel. DH is still deeply annoyed about an post shave soothing gel they dropped. That one pissed me off too as it was a standard stocking stuffer to get him for Christmas.

Wankers.

DontCallMeShitley · 04/06/2019 22:46

Body Shop, in the days when it was cruelty free:
A blue wheat and something leave in conditioner,
Grapefruit shampoo
Face scrub made with aduki beans
All gone, along with my custom.

Many years ago Dop shampoo.

Cadburys chocolate covered pretzels (before palm oil)
Pan Yan pickle

Vaseline Intensive care lotion, fragrance free, no longer available in the original form, it now contains globs of vaseline or some such crud which makes it feel like engine oil on the skin.

Aussie citrifier shampoo, nothing they make is any good now.

@thespottedzebra the aldi eye serum is only temporarily discontinued, it should be back pretty soon (if I can remember the bulletin correctly)

AwdBovril · 04/06/2019 22:47

Flyte bars (not sure when they went - they are like old style milky way bars, the new recipe isn't a patch on the ones from when I was a kid).
Body shop cocoa butter lip balm (disappeared about 3 years ago)
Boots used to sell a shampoo called maidenhair something, I think. Best shampoo ever, I didn't need conditioner & my long hair never got tangled. So annoyed when they stopped it... about 22 years ago!

The most delicious ice cream - Co-op’s award winning Hazelnut truffle, gone. So, so good.

L’Occitane have stopped making their gorgeous almond liquid soap.

My life is that much emptier without these things Grin

TroysMammy · 04/06/2019 22:48

Not long after I discovered them Iceland no longer sell frozen falafels and kale bhajis. Bastards.

Skyejuly · 04/06/2019 22:49

Cadbury double deck :(

lozengeoflove · 04/06/2019 22:51

Oh and I nearly cried with happiness when I opened up the new bottle of Fig leaf and sandalwood hand wash by Waitrose, which smelt just like Body Shop’s fabulous dewberry - ah, the smell of the 90s Smile

ew1990 · 04/06/2019 22:52

@thebullshitgoeson Iceland do some called rainbow waffles. Mini ones. Made out of carrot and sweet potatoes.

Bunnyhop1502 · 04/06/2019 22:53

@HundredMilesAnHour was it in a village beginning with E this farm shop? Because if it’s the same one they also used to make apricot ice cream and I nearly cried when they said no more!

DontCallMeShitley · 04/06/2019 22:55

Neutragena used to make a clarifying shampoo which was blue, it was great. Only one type of hair.

WellTidy · 04/06/2019 22:55

Estée Lauder discontinue everything I really love. They are buggers for it.

Individualist foundation. It was fab - buildable, light enough, easy to blend and enough coverage without being at all heavy. Gutted.

Cafe latte lipstick. I had it for my wedding in 2007. Loved it and stockpiled. Bought the very last one that seemed to exist on the worldwide amazon site a couple of years ago for the shocking sum of £70, I was that desperate. I would pay the same again if I could get another but I can’t. Devastated.

Also can’t buy Benefit Coralista blusher anywhere lately so they’ve probably discontinued that and all.

St Agur used to do a cheese that was exactly like Boursin in texture, except was blue cheese. I think about it a unhealthy amount of the time. I’ve emailed them 4/5 times Blush to ask where it went, and no reply.

GlitterPixie · 04/06/2019 23:01

@SkyeJuly do you mean Cadbury Double Deckers? If so they arent discontinued I bought some today. Are you thinking of Cadbury Top Deck it had the white chocolate on top of the milk chocolate it was delicious Sad

ladyratterley · 04/06/2019 23:01

Angel Innocent perfume. I have half a bottle left. I used to wear it all through my 20s.
Benefit Lemonaid. Why did Benefit discontinue this?! So annoying. It made me look so fresh and was a great base for my eyeshadow.
