A Long Goodbye: Favorite Products That Are Discontinued

2023 Author: Jessica James | [email protected]. Last modified: 2023-08-25 04:20

According to the law of meanness and the market, classy cosmetics are regularly removed from production. On Black Friday, BeautyHack's special correspondent Moore Soboleva collected excellent funds that you need to hurry up to buy (and at the same time told what alternatives there are).

Shadows Illusion d'Ombre, Chanel

Illusion d'Ombre was one of the first and most successful cream to powder textures on the market. These mousse shadows are easy to apply and blend with your finger; they work equally well as a base color, an eyeliner, and a base for powdery eyeshadows. The brand started with six shades, then began adding new ones, and this year the new creative director Lucia Pica has updated the formula and colors. The new line is called Ombre Premiere. There are slightly different, deeper and less shiny shades here, the feathering just got easier, and the included brush has changed shape. But if the classic Illusion d'Ombre is dear to you, you should hurry up: the brand will remove them from sale in 2018.

Body and shower products, Lush

Unlike the vast majority of brands, Lush advertises every year what exactly they will discontinue - thanks to them for that. On the American website of the brand, you can find a complete list of such funds for the current year, and the Russian version supplies products whose lifespan is coming to an end with the inscription “last chance to buy”. It is a pity for many - however, Lush releases new items very quickly, so such a cycle of funds in nature is not surprising. Basically, bath bombs go away (they are replaced by new ones) and shower products - you can have time to find analogues from the same brand and stock up on favorites.

Lip gloss Revolution Lipgloss, Urban Decay

That was fast: the brand presented lip gloss from the Revolution line only two years ago, and now it has already been discontinued. Apparently, the brand is preparing a continuation of its Vice line and is going to make all lip products in the same style, because Revolution Lipgloss themselves did not deserve this. They are great - creamy, vibrant, moisturizing, and the colors in the series are good as always with UD. While we wait for new glosses, a similar texture can be found at Make Up For Ever in their Artist Plexi-Gloss line, as well as choose a lipstick with a creamy or balm texture from the Urban Decay Vice Lipstick.

Cushion Air Mesh, Dr Jart +

Like most Korean brands, Dr Jart + is changing its assortment at cosmic speed, firing novelties and ruthlessly cracking down on familiar means. The Air Mesh tonal cushion was released recently, but its days are numbered. The brand succeeds in cushion jewelry, but for some reason they keep removing them from production: this seems to be the third option. Stock up if you like a thin, airy finish with good hiding power. A similar combination of texture and coating is available from 3Lab (Aqua BВ cushion), but it is much more expensive - however, Air Mesh is still on sale.

Gel for washing Perfect Facial Wash, 3Lab

And here is 3Lab: an expensive high-tech American brand makes each of its care products for a very long time and carefully, so it rarely removes them from the assortment. Salicylic acid wash gel, alas, got under distribution - it makes sense to try this gentle balancing remedy for problem skin while you can, since it dries out rashes well without turning your face into the Sahara desert. If you didn't have time, check out other salicylic acid-based products - for example, at Clinique in the Acne Solutions series.

Eyeliner Aqua Liner, Make Up For Ever

I have already talked about the global update of the Make Up For Ever assortment, which did not spare anyone. It is, in general, good for the brand, but the Aqua Liner is really a shame, and above all because of the sheer bright colors that were easy to find in this line. The technical qualities of the Aqua Liner have never been satisfactory - this is a very long-lasting eyeliner with a classic thin felt applicator, a great option for makeup that should last forever and another day. The brand has replaced the Aqua Liner with the very good Aqua XL series, but the latter is clearly lacking in unusual colors.

BB-cream Dream BB Cream // Pure BB Cream, Maybelline

Maybelline was one of the first European / American brands to make their own BB cream - and immediately great, despite the fact that they had little to do with the classic Korean BB. Both the one and the other cream are very good and budget light foundation, which would be more correctly classified as tinted moisturizers. Super light coverage, moisturizing effect and sunscreen make these products ideal for summer. Pure BB contains salicylic acid, but manages not to dry the skin, and Dream BB is a reference combination of care and tone (however, you should not replace it with a day cream). They promise to replace these funds with a novelty with the cheerful name Fit Me!

Repairwear line, Clinique

This anti-aging line at Clinique was a hit and bestseller - first Repairwear, then its enhanced version of Repairwear Laser Focus, which, in particular, included a cool drip serum that worked well even on mimic wrinkles. Progress does not stand still, and Clinique has slightly changed the focus of its products: Repairwear has been replaced by the Smart line, the formula of which, according to the brand, is able to recognize damaged skin cells and restore them exactly where needed. However, if you are more comfortable with the classic anti-aging retinol products, Repairwear is still available.
