Products you loved that were discontinued!

[guessagain]

So I was thinking the other day about products that I miss that were discontinued & wished were still available. I have finally found a couple of good substitutes for a couple of them.

Boots Style Works Heat Protection Serum - this was just brilliant & at at low price.
Sub- Wella Deluxe Style Rescue Pre-Styling Serum, very impressed but pricey.

Seventeen BB Blemish Balm - It was amazing, I didn’t wear foundation for about year!

Boots CYO Lifeproof Foundation - just so good.
sub - this goes for Seventeens BB as well, it’s Nars Tinted Moisturiser, it’s absolutely brilliant, it should be at the price as well!

Seventeen Eyebrow Pencil - natural looking brows, really good colour.

Boots CYO On A Roll Mascara - brilliant. Still can’t find a sub.

There’s probably more but can’t think of them at the moment!

I miss Boots Natural collection toiletries too. Have they really discontinued them. I loved the milk one with the cow on the packaging.

I'm like a broken record about this but OM perfume from Gap in the 90s was incredible.

Also the Belles de Ricci delice d'epices. God, that was good.

Gucci Envy for Men

Clinique loose powders that were ever so slightly glowy.

Lipstick Queen Jungle queen lipstick

Revlon Glow lip oil.

Linco Beer shampoo ( in the sachets!)

Elizabeth Arden Let there be Light - a gorgeous face primer / highlighter. Never found anything quite as lovely

Woodleigh Green Apple Shampoo

A Max Factor mascara - it was either called S-T-R-E-T-C-H or E-X-T-E-N-D. Whatever it was called it was fabulous.

Boots used to do a fantastic, v flattering nude lipstick called Divine. I wore it for years, was heartbroken when it was discontinued! I'd have bought 10 of them if I'd known they were going to do that.

My much lamented favourites :

BodyShop Absinthe Handwash , £5 a bottle , I used as a showergel
BodyShop lipstick from the early 90s , perfect MMBB , could nevr find one as good
M&S Formula showergel, bodyscrub and cologne , the tubes were white with blue writing and the scent was a flat/oval sandblasted glass bottle replaced by a tall cylindrical bottle
M&S Formula Radience Peel
Topaz shampoo/conditoner (nast from the 80s)

And one I have no bloody clue ,shampoo, the bottle was white with green/blue./purple , the shampoo smelled of coconut and pineapple but not sickly . Cannot remember the name .

Clinique gentle light powder, and the honey ginger lipstick.
Estée Lauder rose refining face mask.
Lush flying fox shower gel.

Also, Body Shop used to do this fantastic peanut butter face mask, it was so moisturizing and really made my skin glow! I wonder if you can make a diy version of it yourself?

I've been thinking of this thread throughout today and I remember another range that I wish they would bring back and it's M&S Per Una make-up. They did a divine cream eyeshadow in packaging that looked like a pencil but when you opened it up there was a very soft bristle (almost like a brush) applicator that dispensed enough of the product to cover your eye lid. Was so easy to use, never any mess, never creased, stayed on for ever. They had other things in the range but that was a great item

I miss the body shop smells of the 90s. Yes they were probably vile for adults but I'd love to go back to the 'perfume bar' to smell the testers of fuzzy peach, dewberry and ananya (sp) again.

per una anything really, the clothes were lovely the tops and knitwear…..I still have a couple of cardigans far too small for me now though 😢
I remember the make up it had little heart design on the packaging

I would break my self imposed boycott of the Body Shop ( sorry JKR) if they would just bring back Woody Sandalwood oil.

Calyx was relaunched by Clinique about 10yrs ago. It’s probably still on some of the consignment, ex stock sites.

I will never forgive the body shop for discontinuing Japanese Musk.

Maybelline bb cream, dream bb bronze. Best product ever, could wear it with moisturiser or patted on top of foundation. Gutted

Balenciaga florabotanica perfume- I love it's fresh scent so much and no recommend dupes have come close so far.
Lush flying fox shower gel.
Estée Lauder double wear light foundation, it's replacement is crap.

Mine is a recent discontinuation, Kiehl’s damage repairing and rehydrating conditioner. My hair loves it and nothing else seems to do the same job, expensive or cheap.

Flex shampoo (fab smell but only available in europe now) 🥲

Body shop japanese washing grains!

Oh and Mac Paints, cream eyeshadows in little metal tubes. The paint pots are good, but not as good.
I agree with PP that Clinique is a terror for discontinuing good products, IV just remembered a blue mentholy scrub mask that was so good! And a perfume, can't remember the name - Simply? Anyway it was great and it's long gone!

Glad someone mentioned good old Flex !

Collection 2000?

I still have a can of the Virgin Vue body spray that I bought at a VV make up party years ago, still smells great! Victoria Secrets do nice body lotion that gives a really lovely shimmer.

Avon is an absolute nightmare for discontinuing their products. In the Skin so Soft range they used to do a sort of foundation for legs that was brilliant for covering up thread veins (alas I now have 'old ladies legs!') Far more superior than the Sally Hansen stuff, when I realised they had discontinued it I bought a few tubes off Ebay.

I came on here to say this! I have a bottle I paid £50 for on eBay(!) but it's nowhere near as strong as it's so old :(

Also SPICE by impulse! Spice girls branded. It was only a body spray but the scent was out of this world. I miss it so much. They're going for ridiculous amounts on eBay
