Cutex - yes the nail brand- did a blusher way back called Golden. I used it as a bronzer. The most brilliant bronzer. The most perfect colour. Gone. Sad

Coty's Wild Musk fragrance. I think it would do really well if reintroduced and marketed correctly.
It wouldn't need re formulating as it was just great as it was. The most gorgeous scent. I just felt really good in it.
To me a really sexy scent. Other musks don't come close. It was probably the slight vanilla note added.
(I have more expensive taste too honest - my "good, going out " perfume is a Chanel Exclusif or Annick Goutal Eau d'Hadrien ).

Boots 17 Poncho Pink lipstick was a favourite too. Seems I'm not alone as there is a Facebook page with people pleading for it to be reborn.

Mac's Asian Flower lipstick gone but not forgotten by me.

Harmony wash in / wash out colour shampoos.

What are your beloved, long list products ?

Boots 17 fat lash mascara. It was the best mascara I ever had. I also loved No 7 Triple protection tinted moisturiser and I'm still trying to find one I like as much as that. Their was also a small eyeshadow palette No 7 did that was green/blue called 'minerals' that I miss. A other No 7 one was a nail polish I loved on my toes in a shade called bronzeberry.

Bourjois did an instant facial bronzing gel.Havent seen it in years

Smashbox halo powder. They still do it but it’s different from how it used to be. I’d like the old one back.

VanillaSpiceCandle · 29/06/2022 16:10

Everything I use always gets discontinued. So many primers and setting sprays. But the worst, I used the primer, foundation , powder and setting spray from Too Faced’s Peach collection. Went to buy some post lockdown after I’d used everything up and it’s all gone. So now I’m back to being a greasy faced mess. I will never forgive them!

@JaneJeffer I was coming on this thread to say face lift cream by Barbara Daly at Tesco!

Roundaboot · 29/06/2022 16:28

About a million hair care products! Tesco used to do this brilliant conditioner for 80p and gel for 30p. Both were suitable for Curly Girl method and both really suited my hair, much better than more expensive brands. They were discontinued a few years ago. Original Source used to do a Tea Tree and Mint conditioner that was brilliant for co-washing but that's sadly gone too.

Amami setting lotion. Nothing else comes close.

jamoncrumpets · 29/06/2022 16:31

St Ives French Vanilla shampoo and conditioner. Dreamy.

JosiahJosiahKate · 29/06/2022 16:31

Clinique Long Pretty Lashes mascara. It was fabulous.

LynneBenfield · 29/06/2022 16:32

Nars Douceur blusher - the perfect, cool tawny brown rose. Barely there but the perfect, sculpting blusher on my skin tone. Discontinued about 10yrs ago and I still think about it.

Monkeybunkey · 29/06/2022 16:33

I used to use a Boots Natural Collection conditioner for curly hair in the 90s which was amazing but sadly no more. I'm sure it had marshmallow in it (or mentioned on the bottle) but no-one else seems to remember it!

Runningupthathill78 · 29/06/2022 16:33

Lemonaid - Benefit. I have found something similar but it's just NOT AS GOOD!

SharpLily · 29/06/2022 16:34

Stella Nude perfume by Stella McCartney.

Bliss Lemon & Sage shower gel and body lotion.

There was a shampoo in the 80s by Wella (I think) with a very distinctive smell. Loved it.

Wiglio · 29/06/2022 16:39

Cutex cuticle ointment, it had a red tint
yardley 5am cologne spray

No it was Revlon Flex.. just had a google and it's on Amazon. Wonder if it still smells so good

LynneBenfield · 29/06/2022 16:47

It’s been reformulated. There was loads in b&m and it isn’t the same.

Please tell me what's similar! I really liked that one, too.

And I second Revlon Flex....

Revlon Flex shampoo Smile

I was going to say this. It smelt divine.
I also miss Vidal Sassoon shampoo range from the 1980s. It smelt of marzipan and was brilliant on my long hair.

anotherbrewplease · 29/06/2022 16:54

Coromist shampoo (? Spelling). Swirly pink colour and smelt divine.

Lumiere perfume - gorgeous scent in pretty purple bottle.

im probably talking 40 plus years ago so not sure if anyone else remembers these😅
