It's finally happened to me, a favorite product of mine has been discontinued! What have you lost and have you managed to find a dupe. Mines is;

Chanel lipstick in charme
Soap & glory lipstick in the missing pink

I think I'm going to give MAC fabby a try as it looks similar.

Elle McPhersons body range in Boots. Loved the honey and lime smell... Just disappeared, sob.

Twunting havw they not renamed astral light to astral Soft ? They sell it in white pots in Superdrug

Doyouthinktheysaurus · 15/05/2016 12:46

Holy fuck, is it really the same TennesseeShock

Thanks so much, I will trot along to Boots and have a sniff.

TwuntingCat · 15/05/2016 17:43

Gate is is the same stuff?! You have just made my day if it is, will go in to my local tomorrow Smile

Lux used to make a shower cream with little glittery bits it - it smelt divine.
I loved the 'original' chubby lipsticks that Clinique made - they were like thick lip pencils which lasted for ages, not the tube of balm that they use now (which disappears after 1/2 hour).

Kate Moss perfume called Velvet Hour. I usually wear Diptyque fragrances but I have never had so many compliments on a perfume - sigh!

Pixi smoky eye wand! Mine is nearly gone!

AverysillyoldHector · 15/05/2016 19:26

Vichy's creme teintee lumineuse in shade 00. It was the perfect tinted moisturiser for my skin shade, but they suddenly stopped making that colour and the other shades are too dark. I'd pay really good money for another tube!

Givenchy Fleur De Interdit perfume. I loved this and actually have a vintage bottle, but it has sadly started to turn.

TennesseeMountainPointOfView · 15/05/2016 19:51

yes, doyouthinktheysaurus - or at least, the Dior woman in Selfridges assured me they were, and I can't tell any difference, so it works for me!

feelingmiffed · 15/05/2016 20:09

Gate, isn't that Nivea soft? Very similar to astral though

Gatekeeper · 15/05/2016 20:18

No, astral also so one called soft: Its a lighter version of the original one. They no longer seem to so it in a tub but in a tube. If you look on Superdrug website they have It there on offer

XS by Paco Rabanne

SharonBottsPoundOfGrapes · 15/05/2016 20:32

Monsoon by Coty. Not the ones you see in Boots now. It was in a greeny blue bottle with a lid that resembled a walnut whip. It reminded me of the seaside during a rainstorm.

The Body Shop Japanese Washing Grains - brilliant for sloughing off dead skin
Flex shampoo and conditioner - I loved the smell

rookiemere · 15/05/2016 20:35

Sicily perfume by Dolce e Gabana. Luckily I managed to get a bottle last year from Ebay that wasn't too crazily priced, but when that runs out it's the end Sad

2ManySweets · 15/05/2016 20:36

Max Factor Gloss Cubes weeps hard

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 15/05/2016 20:44

The Japanese washing grains were nothing but ground up raw aduki beans - put some beans in a coffee grinder and you can make your own!

Propolis · 15/05/2016 20:51

Yardley "You're the Fire" perfume and Max Factor "Transparent Burgundy" lipstick.

MistyMeena · 15/05/2016 20:51

Valderma face cream! It cured everything on your face. Sadly they only make the soap now

TwuntingCat · 15/05/2016 20:53

Thanks Gate, not seen that in my local superdrug but will double check tomorrow, if not I am way too excited to order myself some Blush

southeastastra · 15/05/2016 20:56

i used to love a purpley miners lipstick i think it was called shrimp or prawn

herethereandeverywhere · 15/05/2016 21:32

Jo Malone Vanilla and Anise perfume. I LOVE it and the buggers have discontinued it Sad

So many people have complimented me on it too, it really suits me. I stockpiled over Xmas last year but I'm down to my last 1/4 of a bottle. Sad

SharonBottsPoundOfGrapes · 15/05/2016 21:44

Does the body shop still do lip scuff? That stuff was amazing.
