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 ?

Please also bring back the Boujis face powder in a brush dispenser. Hair colour mouse and hair mascara, and little pots of gold or copper tinted hair wax.

@Motnight apparently that was just ground up aduki beans so you could whip some up yourself!

Speedweed · 29/06/2022 19:32

Oh yes, Revlon Flex! Loved the smell of this.

I also miss Salon Selectives and the St Ives conditioner.

Impulse On Fire.

Clinique almost lipstick in black cherry- I think they bought this back at some point, but it's not the same at all.

Josh Wood Radiant hair oil , discontinued a couple of years ago . Best ever product for my fine frizzy hair and it smelt divine .

@JJaneJeffer I didn't know that, perhaps I will!

MrsLannister · 29/06/2022 20:00

Benebalm yes! If anyone could find a dupe for this I would be in awe. Tried everything

Carmex moisture plus in berry sheer tint. Oh I loved loved this.

Basically any berry/red tinted lip balm that tastes nice and isn’t Burts Bees 😭

VanillaSpiceCandle · 29/06/2022 20:01

@TeddyTrucks thanks. I had a bad experience buying a lipstick (again something discontinued) on eBay before but worth another try.

LadyEloise1 · 29/06/2022 20:03

@Defiantlynot41
I remember Ultima Skin Scent perfume there was a teeny teeny tiny hint of liquorice/ fennel in it.

Ultima's parent company looks like it has gone the way of Ultima.
Revlon has filed for bankruptcy Sad
If you like Revlon products perhaps now is the time to buy them in bulk.
I love their Youth FX concealer. The sponge is smaller so way better than the best seller Maybelline one.

Oh this stuff was AMAZING. That’s why I came on here too!

Purplecatshopaholic · 29/06/2022 20:08

Becca. Think it was a Aussie brand. Awesome tinted moisturiser

Enjoyallthewine · 29/06/2022 20:09

Sad about Revlon!

wonderpants · 29/06/2022 20:12

Musmerian · 29/06/2022 20:14

Tom Ford Gardenia perfume, Body Shop Viennese Face Chalk and their honey and oatmeal face mask,.Bobbi Brown tinted face balm.

SquirrelSoShiny · 29/06/2022 20:14

Benefit Smoky Eye kit. It was great!

TwoMonthsOff · 29/06/2022 20:15

Clinique - their …
dewy smooth foundation
up-lighting illuminator
and long pretty lashes mascara

best mascara ever goodness knows why they discontinued it

GreenClock · 29/06/2022 20:16

Impulse Captivation (pink tin)
Body Shop kiwi lip balm

Not because they were amazing but because they take me back to the late 1980s!

TwoMonthsOff · 29/06/2022 20:17

DoubleShotEspresso · 29/06/2022 16:59

DiorLight foundation I'm still furious they discontinued this!

Sensiq did a wonderful eye palette I've never found similar to with a brilliant base cream inside.
Ruby & Millie compact foundation, was the most perfect luminous finish , buildable and pale enough for me, in a chrome compact.

The benefit primer in a tin that went on like velvet can't remember the name.

The smudgy eyeliners that glistened instead of glittered by boots 17

The cheek gel in a tube with sponges applicator by boots 17. I miss these today still

I’d almost forgotten about ruby and Millie
they did wonderful matte natural eyeshadows

Xanthe68 · 29/06/2022 20:18

Raspberry Ripple bubble bath from the Body Shop

Eau Dynamisante body oil spray. Honestly the best product ever.

Charlieiscool · 29/06/2022 20:18

The Prescriptives foundation that was colour matched exactly to your skin and then mixed at the counter.

KimWexlersPonyTail · 29/06/2022 20:23

Mary Quant foundation in a pot
Prescriptives colour match service
Charles of the Ritz Pink Geranium Lipstick

Sachets of shampoo you could buy when you were broke and needed a hair wash before payday

beachcitygirl · 29/06/2022 20:25

Anne French cleansing milk in the triangle bottle

Benefit Dr feel good balm in a tin

Clinique almost lipstick in black Cherry

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

I found an unopened pot and it's still gorgeous. Smells like grapefruit.
I liked her pots of primer too. And she did a wax pencil that filled in the small lines round your lips. Made them disappear. I've never found anything similar.

I loved that too

MistyRock · 29/06/2022 20:33

Benefit flamingo fancy, a shimmery fake tan make up that washes off.
Estee Lauder brought out a limited edition collection. Maybe early 2000's, one item was a pot of blusher petals (all different shades of pink in chunks like petals) in the centre was a golden highlighter. It was so beautiful and made my skin look gorgeous.
Max Factor panstick but it was a highlighter instead.

Muezza · 29/06/2022 20:45

The body shop lipsticks in the metal tubes, they were around about 10 years ago. They had quite a waxy texture and would last really well, and they smelt nice.

Barbara daly concealer, one of the few thats yellow enough for me and doesn't make my undereyes look worse. I think sadly about it everytime I try a new concealer, nothing comes close for colour, coverage and staying power.
