But have been discontinued, replaced or you simply can't find anymore! What made them so great and why their replacement (if there is one) just isn't as good.
For me, I really liked Thalgo's O2 Marine exfoliant creme. It was eliminated and the Peeling Cream Pure Delicacy for dry or sensitive skin has come up in its place. I don't find the replacement as gentle to the skin. I don't know what specific ingredients changed in it, but I do notice a difference in my forehead (of all places) that it's just not as smooth and bright after use as when I use (used) the original O2 creme. Fortunately, I still have some left! |

dior used to have an exfoliant which has been the only thing EVER to clear the blackheads on my nose and chin. it was green and grainy and i loved it.
they got rid of it about five years ago. the closest i have found to it is the dhcc. but this product had an even finer texture than the dhcc, and smelt better. i have not been able to achieve the same results with dhcc or jurlique.
i still pine... |

Christian Dior's Mascara Parfait
They gave this the chop a couple years back when they brought out Show. Took me ages to find a replacement, but ended up with KISS ME mascara and I do love it. I do pine for Parfait though.
Back in the days (about 13 years ago) when I was a BIG Dior user (I had 2 of their cleanser, 2 toners, 2 masks, the scrub, eye cream, serum and 2 moisturizers.  ) they had some wonderful products that they stopped making now.
I remember my absolute favorites being:
Rose exfoliant gel
Cleansing gel
Wash-off cleansing milk (OK for eyes too)
I moved on to other things, but those were really good and I would prefer if I could still get them if i wanted them. LOL |

Molton Brown's fabulous colour range of natural mascaras that left your eyelashes feeling beautifully soft. They now only do one colour - dark brown.
I've switchecto Dr Hauschka's blue mascara, which is reallt lovely, but not quite as good as my old MB violet one. |

Ok, this was just a cheapy drugstore soap, but I loved it - Caress bar soap in Waterfresh Breeze. It was the perfect clean scent! They discontinued it and replaced it with all this shimmery berry stuff.
Oh, also Aromaleigh discontinued the majority of their Pure Cover concealer mineral makeup. You can only get a few general shades now, none of which match my skin tone. Even though it was touted as a "concealer", a lot of women used it as their foundation for a little more coverage than the regular MMU foundation. I know it was a HG for many. Aromaleigh was supposedly developing a new creamy liquid concealer as a replacement. If I wanted something like that, I wouldn't be using mineral makeup! Hmph.
And I THOUGHT that my favorite hair product, - Sheer Blonde Spotlight Sleek and Shine Detangler- as I couldn't find it anywhere! But I managed to find a place online to buy it from. A big SO THERE to the gods of discontinuance! |

One foundation I always loved was Loreal Translucide. It had the best coverage on me with a nice soft shimmer. I've never found anything I liked as much as that since they discontinued it.
Although I just order Amazing Cosmetics Loose Powder foundation and am hoping this will become my HG.  |

This is kind of goofy, but I sorta wish Bonne Bell still made the giant Lip Smackers! Not that the little ones aren't fine...and God knows I don't need some jumbo-sized thing in my over-crammed makeup bag...but they just remind me of when I was a kid! I probably had 10 of them, and if I recall, some came with a little cord so you could wear them around your neck.
Okay, I'm officially a dork.

I used to really love those little round 'sticker' treatments for pimples. Neutrogena ("on the spot acne treatment", now they use this name for a cream) and Pond's used to make them. They would really shrink one down overnight. Now I can't find them anywhere! I guess I was the only one who used them.
Maybe I'll do a quick online search for them. |

Lol - I completely forgot about those!!! My friend back in high school used them .... she used to tell me that some "stickers" worked and some didn't. I always got a kick out of that. |

Oh NO! I didn't know they stopped making Translucide! NOOOO! I still use that under my eyes.. The bottle lasted soooo long, it makes a great under eye concealer but I thought it was uck on my face. So now my favorite makeup, my favorite concealer, and now my favorite under eye concealer have all been discontinued.  |

clinique has discontinued two items that I really liked.
1) Almost makeup with spf 15. This is like a tinted moisturizer. Not sure what has replaced it. I think the Cityblock spf 15 with tint.
2)Cityblock foundation powder spf 15. I wore cloud. I have some left still. I am not sure what has replaced this; perhaps their "truematch" type powder. |

| Mostly, I miss the shampoos (or rather the smell of shampoos) that I used as a kid. When I was growing up, you had the choice of maybe less than 10 products to choose from...and that was in a well-stocked store. Nothing like today where there are whole aisles of shampoo. Then they started coming out with all these different shampoos...there was a product line called Earthborn Shampoo and I loved the smell of the apricot one. Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific was another favorite. There was also a beer shampoo in a beer-shaped bottle, forget the name, but it smelled awesome (not like beer). Oh, and Yucca Dew was another good one. Don't really know if any of these were great shampoos...my hair was like an inch long--had a pixie cut, as they called it---but they smelled fabulous |

| Neutrogena used to make a face wash called Skin Fitness. It had microbeads in it. It kept my face so clear. When I learned it was discontinued I when around to every store I could find and bought them out. |
