Borjois being discontinued in the UK

I saw another thread that Borjois is going to be discontinued in the UK and googling shows that it's true Sad

www.google.com/amp/s/www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/beauty-hair/makeup/amp30056261/bourjois-discontinued-uk/

I love their 123 foundation and CC cream as well as their clubbing liquid eyeliner, can anyone recommend alternatives?

Oh no! I love that brand.

Comps83 · 07/12/2019 07:27

Noooooooo! Shock

Juliette20 · 07/12/2019 07:29

What? That's crazy. Most of my make up is that brand.

MustardScreams · 07/12/2019 07:33

What!!! That is awful news, no one makes blush like them.

fedup2017 · 07/12/2019 07:36

Whaaattttt???
I am actually shocked.

Comps83 · 07/12/2019 07:36

Best stock up

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 07/12/2019 07:38

I have JUST discovered healthy mix foundation, FFS!!!

Chickydoo · 07/12/2019 07:49

Oh no! I have been using their healthy mix foundation for years. Better stock up! I wonder how long foundation lasts?

IrishMamaMia · 07/12/2019 07:54

:( :( the mascaras are incredible. It's made by chanel I'd heard.

Trewser · 07/12/2019 07:56

The healthy mix foundation is great I agree although I've switched to a no7 one which is better for me.

The bronzer is amazing. Definitely going to stock up. Sad news.

nitgel · 07/12/2019 08:00

Thats a shame ;( bloody celebriry brands taking over

bananasandwicheseveryday · 07/12/2019 08:04

I use one of their mascaras. It's amazing. I usually buy from Amazon so I am hoping desperately that I will still be able to do so.

AlphaNumericalSequence · 07/12/2019 08:19

Dang. I thought the thread title said Boris was being discontinued.

DobbyTheHouseElk · 07/12/2019 08:32

When I first started using the brand I heard it was made by Chanel. No idea if it’s true, but heard it was a sister brand.

I have been finding the lipstick chubby sticks hard to find recently so maybe that’s why. I did stock up at amazon.

MrsMaiselsMuff · 07/12/2019 08:38

for an eye-watering $600 (£463 million)

And to make things even worse, the value of the pound has bombed even more! Grin

MrsMaiselsMuff · 07/12/2019 08:40

Bourjois is owned/ produced by Coty. It used to be owned by the Chanel group, but not for some years now.

DippyAvocado · 07/12/2019 08:41

Noooo. I love their healthy mix foundation. Does anyone have tips for an alternative?

MaJoady · 07/12/2019 08:42

Oh no! Bourjous volume glamour has been my go to mascara for years. I used to frequently get distracted, but always came back. It's the best. And the blushers. Going to stock up today if I can!

Although they're rarely mentioned in the recommendation threads on S&B, and other than for my staples, it's a brand I forget to check when I'm looking for stuff. Perhaps they haven't been selling as much... But I would have thought a decent marketing campaign could have improved things

fedup21 · 07/12/2019 08:44

The blushers are amazing-this is such a shame!

Chickydoo · 07/12/2019 08:53

Just been on the boots website & ordered 6 HM foundations. 3 for 2
Should last me 2 years. Give me plenty of time to find an alternative

BloodyCats · 07/12/2019 08:55

How sad, I love their stuff.
Going to stock up on blusher and HM foundation. I have a rimmel one which is similar but doesn’t give that dewy look I like.

DevaDiva · 07/12/2019 08:56

Right, I'm off to buy blusher 😊

BreatheAndFocus · 07/12/2019 09:05

That would explain why I couldn’t find my usual Bourjois mascara.

How sad. I love the Bourjois eyeshadow pots and blusher pots. I use them every day. No idea what I’m going to replace them with.

PrettyShiningPeople · 07/12/2019 09:08

I had to look twice, for a moment I thought this was about the prime minister Blush

takeyourcanvasbag · 07/12/2019 09:10

This is such a shame! I love their products.

dippy I’ve been using the no7 hydraluminous foundation recently and i like it as much as healthy mix.
