things you wish you'd bought more of before they disappeared

[comeondover]

Am mourning the loss of my Merrell Terran Lattice II walking sandals. Very comfortable, and once on, pretty nice for sandals you could walk all day in. The straps were arranged just so - I don't know why Merrell have changed the design in the updated version. I've looked for ages and can't find them now, apart from second-hand on ebay. Second-hand sandals are a bridge too far, alas.

Sometimes when I come across, say, a t-shirt or a jumper that turns out to be just the right cut or whatever, I might buy another one while I can. Wish I'd thought to do that with these Merrells. Oh well. Tell me I'm not alone?

I feel your pain!

It is back at Superdrug.

I came here to say this. I bought every one in could lay my hands on and am down to my final two. RIP caramac

Clarins sunshine perfume.

Revlon(?) Flex hair conditioner

Clinique anti blemish in the shade fresh alabaster. Perfect shade and coverage. Managed to find one on eBay but after this I don't know what I'll do!!

They aren't exactly stylish, but Dublin made a pair of country boots that were mid calf length, and had a zip. Most of them are too long for my short shins, and too hard to get on and off for my bad back. They were waterproof up to the bottom of the zip. I wore them to death. Those boots were perfect for riding and walking the dog. I mourn their passing.

Thereisalightattheendofthetunnel I've just found it, it's called Her

I'm on my last inch!

There was a body shop foundation which came in a little pot which I absolutely loved but which was discontinued about 20 years ago. It was quite thick, great coverage and had rose water or rose oil in it. You’d have to mix it each day as it separated in the pot. Never found a foundation as good since.

Jo's Rhubarb perfume from Zara

L'occitane Jasmine and bergamot eau de parfum
Waitrose jasmine and cedar wood fabric conditioner

New West perfume. I still haven’t got an another perfume quite like it.

Currently Lancome's Hydra Zen moisturiser. They've reformulated it and I'm having a nervous breakdown

Yes!! Me too! The only lip balm I enjoyed using and that had a great spf.

I lost a pair of so sander white leather square toe ankle boots and miss them regularly.

Fendi perfume, not the new one. It was the very first grown up perfume I ever had & I loved it.

Puma Mostro trainers, they were soft as butter & so comfortable, my last pair fell apart & I've never been able to get any that match them. Thankfully I've just found Nike are doing Air Rift trainers again, I've got really bad arthritis & neuropathy in my feet, so I have to have supportive footwear that doesn't rub.

I loved this perfume and every time I go to Spain I look in the perfumeries to no avail. I really hope that one day Loewe bring it back.

I had a pair of boots from Moshulu which were the most comfortable thing I've ever had on my feet, then Moshulu seemed to disappear for a bit, and when I found it online again they didn't make the boots anymore. I really do have strange feet. Very thin ankles, almost no heel, and no arch.

When I was a child my brother said they were like a duck's feet, and you know what, that's harsh but fair.

Johnsons baby wash, the pink one.
I've used it in the shower every day for years and now they've discontinued it. None of the others smell the same

I think the one you are talking about is this:34 Rose'Dor
Bourjois Blush - 34 Rose D'Or : Amazon.co.uk: Beauty

Uniqlo loungewear thick cotton jersey trousers. Soft wide waist band, loose fitting all the way down, no cuff round the ankle. I LOVE them, but my two pairs are now almost worn though and I have mended various holes. I haven’t been able to find anything comparable anywhere. Recommendations welcomed!

Estee Lauder Modern Muse Rogue perfume.

Why, oh why did they discontinue this.

I got a back up bottle when I found out it was gone, but now I feel I can only use it every now and then instead of all the time.

V05 shampoo and conditioner.
In fact any shampoo and conditioner that suits me ends up being discontinued. Loreal Botanicals included here.

We do get Revlon flex though that pp mentioned. I am sure I saw a post that you are able to get it as one of your discount shops in UK too now.

And Ponds had a cleansing balm here. It's gone. Just gone. And apart from Body Shop chamomile there is nothing similar here to replace it. I dont get it. Why discontinue something so good. I did find a travel size of Clarins pure melt in my stash though, I didn't even know this was no more either. Sigh.

And @margotsdevil I started a thread about this last year! 🥲The pale pink one was every day lip balm.

Ooh I loved Sensi perfume too
