Alternative to Chanel vitalumiere- discontinuation !!

Hi there
I usually buy Chanel vitalumiere in shade 30 but it's being discontinued apparently so there's nothing in stock online and I can't get to any counters to try to locate any. Has anyone got any good alternatives? I did try Armani silk I think its called during lockdown but the colour was totally wrong. Please help make up aficionados!

@Musicalfan what's the name of the new version? Shame they've faffed with the formula.

I reckon they're talking about that No.1 foundation

Hi

i use this product. They’re not discontinuing it, rather they’re trying to get rid of old stock. They have come out with the same product, but it does not have SPF in it, therefore it is not quite the same. I have bought a bottle, but I’m not sure I will be as loyal as I was to the older version. Without the spf it’s changed the product. Less dewy.

What's the new version called? Can't see it.

John Lewis branches have quite a lot of in branch stock. The branch stock levels are on their website and they will post it out to you if needed.

I've tried Armani Luminous (god I can't remember the full name) which isn't bad but far less glowy and it stinks. I'm so disappointed to read that Vitalumiere is discontinued.

I'm seriously gutted about this.

Hi OP, did you manage to find anything similar? I've also sworn by this in the same shade for over 10 years. Can't believe they've discontinued it!

Have you tried ebay to stock up? I’ve found my discontinued products on there.

I used to use VL but moved to TSL Touche Eclat foundation. I recently tried YSL Nu, which is gorgeous. Marketed as a tinted moisturiser, but buildable. I’ve had comments on how glowy my skin looks.
