Did you know they are discontinuing the line due to poor sales. I am gutted as I loved their concealer. My favourite by a mile.

Noooooooooooooo!

Right I'm off to stock up

Oreocrumbs · 28/02/2013 22:17

The whole range? Skin care too? I've only just bloody found it!

Are they replacing it with a new line?

rubytubeytubes · 28/02/2013 22:20

They Caaaaaaan't!! Thought it was v popular though know loads that use it

MrsMeow · 28/02/2013 22:21

Oh no! Surely they won't discontinue the skin care as well, I thought it sold like hot cakes?

The skin care doesn't seem to suit me but the eyeshadows and lipgloss are amazing so I'm going to buy some tomorrow!

Yama · 28/02/2013 22:22

Noooooooo!

I use the collagen cream, the primer and the concealer.

I was about to start trying out nail varnishes and perhaps a mascara.

essexgirl31 · 28/02/2013 22:23

Nooooooooooo! I have only just found it too!!!

Shinyshoes1 · 28/02/2013 22:23

I bought the concealer last week .... I thought it was rubbish if anything it made my dark circles more prominent and most people agreed with me too

I know I am gutted too. Haven't you noticed the line shrinking in store? I went to restock on a couple of things and the lines were gone. So I googled it and found out!

Surely not! Aren't they going to re-brand it and sell it at a higher price?

The concealer is the best thing ever for the price......surely I'm not the only person buying it!

ThingummyBob · 28/02/2013 22:25
Shock

The concealer is the best thing since I could afford touche eclat Sad

The mascara never drops bits into my contact lenses either, way better than any others I've had lately.

I for one will be clearing the shelves of the above two items as soon as I can get there, so don't be heading to Meanwood aldi and buying them all before me, ok mners? Grin

I think it's being done low key but it seems so Sad

LynetteScavo · 28/02/2013 22:39

Yep, I too will be clearing the shelves of concealer.

Mind you, I didn't like the face cream.

Bunbaker · 28/02/2013 22:43

Mind you, I didn't like the face cream.

I liked the consistency, but didn't like the smell.

KittieCat · 28/02/2013 22:53

I've seen lots of comments on the net about this but they seem to be quite old...

Bunbaker · 28/02/2013 22:57

I can't find anything on the internet to say that it is being discontinued.

Fluffycloudland77 · 01/03/2013 08:26

Nooooooooooooooo!

Bastards.

HaveAGoodDay · 01/03/2013 12:47

OMG -if so I better get there PDQ to stock up - their face serum is the only thing I ever use & I love the day & night face creams. Trouble is OH usually goes on his own on a Sunday when doing weekly food shop.....will have to beg him to take me sooner than that!!!!

JumpHerWho · 01/03/2013 12:58

Oh I hope this isn't true - I want to try the serum and creams but don't live near one.

Fluffycloudland77 · 01/03/2013 13:09

They've just launched a new cleansing milk and toner in my store.

YouCanCallMeBetty · 01/03/2013 14:40

Where did you hear this OP? I'd be gutted if they do, I love the face serums.

I'd be really surprised though as they're always getting good reviews in the press, which must surely drive sales. And they have to stock a skincare range to be competitive...

YouCanCallMeBetty · 01/03/2013 14:47

The only references I can find online are that it may be discontinued in the States, not here

Bunbaker · 01/03/2013 14:51

Maybe they have started up rumours to increase sales?

NoraSpect · 01/03/2013 16:19

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!! They can't!! :(

I've heard a few people saying it then I did a google search for their concealer, as the makeup was down to about 14 single items in the whole store and found it it but cannot find the damned page. I also asked instore and got a cagey answer of "we dont know what lines they are discontinuing" I'm now really panicking in case I've got it wrong! I promise I don't work for them to boost sales!

If I am wrong I wholeheartedly apologise but the evidence seemed compelling.
