I'm edging towards the last spritzes of my beloved Elle by YSL perfume. Why they discontinued this glorious fragrance, I will never understand. Off to buy another overpriced bottle on eBay, I guess.

I'm also pissed off with Jo Malone for getting rid of her English Oak and Redcurrant scent. The candle and body lotion were the best.

Who will you never forgive for discontinuing your favourite?

For the Mignon Morceaux fans - have you tried the fried pretzel snacks you can get in Poundland? It's a similar vibe.

KirstenBlest · 22/03/2024 13:52

@Alchemistress , no Poundland near me. There are some pound shops, and one of them is excellent but with unpredictable stock.

Alchemistress · 22/03/2024 15:12

I’ve also seen them in Aldi if that helps?

KirstenBlest · 22/03/2024 15:20

I do go Aldi. Thanks.

Desperate discontinued perfume request...
Can anybody remember this discontinued product. It's been bugging me for days and I used to love it: a perfume that came in a twisty green bottle with a pink top that looked like a crown. There was also a blue version with a green top. Help!?

I'm pretty sure that's Les Belles De Ricci by Nina Ricci, although I don't remember a blue one Smile

@SocksAndTheCity @Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain That's it! Thank you! Holy lord baby Jesus, a bottle is so expensive nowadays.

I found the blue version also.

You should've stocked up back in the 90s! Hindsight is a wonderful thing!

Mac Twig lipstick, the new twist isn't the same

Flash discontinued their bathroom liquid cleaner but I was delighted to see it in Asda last weekend so I bought 6!

That's what I do if I see anything I know is discontinued and then see it on sale somewhere else!

Clinique black honey lip gloss . It came in a little round pot and you got a lip brush with it . The black honey lipstick in the tube just isn't the same .

Maybelline brow drama

YSL perfect touch foundation.

I've just remembered Diptyque Giroflée (clove) candle. Bastards! Not everyone wants orange with their clove!!!

Lucidity foundation and pressed/loose powder by Estée Lauder.

They gave my skin a really flattering soft glow.

The compact and the loose powder were a very smart dark blue and gold.

Lancôme Flash Bronzer gel for face. I loved it and for some reason it just made my skin so nice and just just the tiniest glow.

I'm gutted and have never been able to find something similar. Last bottle still has very tiny amount and it's probably 20 years old but I still want to use it 🫣

Oh me too although I haven't got any left at all. Have scoured the internet for similar but nothing compares.

Mac used to do a very dark purple liquid eyeliner in the early 2000s, it was fantastic. Looked almost black with just a hint of colour. I’d have loved the YSL purple mascara mentioned upthread.

Wow - that's a memory unlocked! That MAC eyeline was perfect: less harsh than black but didn't disappear on dark skin unlike other purples.

I wish I could remember the name of the shade 😊
