commiserate with me - favorite products discontinued

Anonymous
Body Shop discontinue an African Shea Butter that was an awesome body moisturizer.

Pond's changed their cold cream formula (they added parabens.)

Bummer!

The regular eye liners from Bobbi Brown - I can't get a good point on the new ones (Kohl, long wearing). I used my last one down until it was <1" long and the tiny tip fell out.

I miss my husband's old Nivea shave gel for sensitive skin. They still sell it but changed the scent and I hate them for it.

Also, remember when OB tampons were off the shelves for months? That was a nightmare. So glad they came back.

If anyone else on here is also mourning -- any suggestions for substitutions for either?

Yes. I take a tiny squirt of Laura Mercier foundation and mix it in my hand with a tiny squirt of my favorite body lotion (just a rosemary scented one from whole foods) and it is the perfect tinted moisturizer.

Yeah, whatever happened to all the store brand, "compare to Aveda's blah blah" shampoos and conditioners? there used to be so many, now there are none at all.

L'Occitane used to make a "soothing" shampoo that was wonderful. Just went to pick up a new bottle and learned that it's been replaced by a "repairing" shampoo. The new formula is awful. I loved the old shampoo and conditioner--almost holy grail status for me and it had rave reviews on all sites. I don't know why companies keep changing or discontinuing products that have 5 star reviews and loyal followings!

OMG, I saw the word "flex" here and immediately smelled it so clearly. Smelled like cupcakes to me though...maybe I'm a little younger


I loved Flex! My mom bought it for me to take to camp one summer - it's almost like a shea butter smell.

I'm mourning a few fragrances: Lancome Miracle So Magic, Christian Dior Eau Svelte "Body Treatment Fragrance" (ha), and the original body shop White Musk oil that came in the little bottle. What they have now just doesn't smell the same to me!

Bath & Body Works Bergamot Coriander stuf, and a couple Dream line items - long retired. Amazon has the Bergamot lotion for like 25-30 bucks but I'm a cheapskate, I guess I don't love it that much!

And Planters Cheez Balls +

OMG, I had forgotten about this. I made DH raid the CVS near his work, telling him that people were selling them for twice the price online. He brought them home thinking we were going to get rich gouging people for tampons. I spent a long time explaining to him the importance of tampon brand preference. He's still mad he bought all those boxes of tampons for no profit.

I was paying for gas there the other day and noticed that they have a display of all of the "old school" candy including Lemonheads! To the left of the cash register. They even had those baked bean things, (Boston Baked Beans?), Now & Laters and Atomic Fireballs!


Or she could get a whole tub from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Lemonhead-150ct-Tub-Individually-Wrapped/dp/B009D8ZE06/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1406828785&sr=8-1&keywords=lemonheads !
