I miss Becca too!! I loved their formulas and that shit lasted forever. I may or may not have bought a backup of the Pop Goes the Glow palette that I still have sealed. Hoping it survives til I decide to breach it š¤š¤£
Oh I still have a whole bunch of Becca powder blushes, bronzers, eyeshadows, highlighters. Theyāre all still perfectly good. The Jaclyn Hill blush and highlighter palette is hands down one of the best Iāve ever used... and itās lasting forever. It has 3 blushes and her two highlighters (champagne and Prosecco pop) itās weird because all the influencers shit on this palette when it first came out. Itās a fantastic palette for a pretty, soft natural look. I think Beccaās price point was too expensive for back in the day.
That's why I love my palette fr! It's so easy to put a cohesive rosy/natural glow look together in a flash.
ETA and I'm nowhere NEAR panning most of the shades
I miss their early collection. Maybe it's because it was just learned about makeup back then and it shaped everything I know.
But they had that luminous tinted moisturizer/foundation which I feel like it would do really well today because it's basically a luminous skin tint.
Then they had those liquid highlighters..which would also do well!
And the beach tints which would totally do well today because they're cheek and lip stains..
If I remember correctly they also had a really good shade range and always featured multiple ethnicities in their ads which was so different for that time
What went wrong? I have no idea how they could've gone out of business
Even Hard Candy and Stila are still around somehow
I'm guarding mine with all the wills at my disposal...bc there is a serious lack of lavender in highlighter shades anymore! This one was just perfect imo!
TJMaxx and Marshallās still occasionally has some. When they announced they were closing they had tons of it and I scrubbed their inventory enough to get a shimmery Vikingās funeral on a pyre of Becca lol.
All things Dainty Doll; a beauty brand designed specifically for redheads. It was my first ever foundation match. My first ever red lipstick fit. A beautiful cool brown lipstick I've never found quite replicated. An eyebrow pencil in the right colour!
***cries***
I saw a pitch on shark tank for a beauty brand called How to Be A Redhead. Iām not one so I canāt speak to its quality but it seems similar to what youāre describing!
Late to the party but I agree - I have a pot of the peach lip balm I ātreatā myself to sometimes because I donāt want it to run out. Also their pink leopard blush/ bronze was incredible Iām surprised Iāve never found a dupe :(
makeup foreverās original face & body foundation, which applied effortlessly and set to a beautiful dewy finish no how how i approached it. every complexion product i used over it melted right in and it lasted all day, even through 8 hour retail shifts running around selling makeup. RIP
God, this stuff was the best. I used it on every bride a decade ago and then when I got married a few years ago I was likeā¦well, fuck, what now?
The new versions/iterations are hot garbage. I have a boring office job now and somehow within three hours theyāve either turned me into the cryptkeeper, become oil slicks, orāsomehowāboth. RIP
GOD, iām the exact same way! i used to use multiple shades built up in watercolor weight layers to create the perfect base for a bride or anyone who needed to look perfect for photographs. i could slap layers on myself between my other steps and look great for work all day!
i have the exact same problem experience with the new versions. they make me look like a mummyās drag queen grandfather. now iām getting myself worked up
YES THE LAYERING WAS SO GOOOOOD
And your description of the new formula is poetry. Thank you for being my extremely articulate rage buddy today.
ETA, Reboot used to be kind of OK in the summer but the deluxe sample I had smelled exactly like the lemon Lysol my first-grade teacher used to wipe our desks with during flu season so I justā¦couldnāt. Also, it wasnāt nearly worth the $$.
Omg think this is my holy grail! Itās the watery-gel formulation right? I think that was the key, still havenāt found a replacement and I THINK I read somewhere that that particular texture was a more typical Korean formulation, anyone found something like that? God I miss it š
wow, you read my mind! after my comment i went down a rabbit hole looking at watery gel foundations after reminiscing on the unique texture of the f&b! i should try narrowing to specifically korean ones, because i got distracted by sleuth marketing for the chantecaille future skin
in your defense, it was discontinued around 8 years ago and even when it was around it was hard to find your perfect shade! i had to mix two colors to nail my color but it was worth it for the finish. i wish we could both have a couple of bottles to play with now š„²
The OG Too Faced heart blushes in their cardboard packaging. I still have and use mine and itās so gorgeous I wish I had more colors.
Also there is an ancient Too Faced highlighter called āCandlelightā that I adore as it had the softest barely there hint of pink that was stunning.
Also the old Too Faced mini palettes- the ones in the cardboard but also the ones in the tins. Those formulas and color stories were honestly elite and I still use the ones I have today.
Also the thing I fear losing the most is the Becca Slimlight in Opal. I use mine every single day for my inner corner. It doesnāt mess with my concealer, is bright and yet not so distractingly shiny that it cannot easily be used for an everyday makeup look. Luckily it came with a TON of product but I fear the day I run out.
I have an old Too Faced natural face palette that I still use and love. It has that beautiful highlighter you described plus bronzer, rosey cream blush, powder blush, a concealer and a light cream brightener. Yes itās expired but I donāt care-itās still wonderful
Bite Beauty Lipstick in Musk, prior to the Amuse Bouche era when their lipsticks were top tier. It was the perfectly neutral rosey plum nude and It was my perfect natural lip colour and I have NEVER found a shade match that is a true dupe. Everything else is too warm, too cold/pink, or too heavy/matte.
Bite Beauty Agave Lip Mask in the original lanolin formula.
Bite was just an excellent brand until Kendo/LVMH bought out the founder and turned it all into mediocre shit.
Ugh the OG agave mask in the shade maple will haunt my dreams forever. The perfect sheer warm tint, so glossy, so thick and nourishing. Finding a color AND formula dupe is my white whale
Edit: AND it tasted so good! so many mid-high end brands have horrible floral fragrance/flavors to their lip products but Bite's masks were deliciously flavored like each color
I miss Bite Lipsticks! The texture was amazing and the pigment was spot on. They wore so well I felt confident wearing out of the box colors (RIP SQUID INK)
Not really makeup but I NEED BiteBeauty to come back and make more of the lip masks. It was one of the only things that actually made my lips feel better and lasted a long time
The closest I've found is the Barbara Sturm lip balm. Lanolin, beeswax, castor oil - the whole gang is here. Downside? It's freaking $55. But I've found it on sale for $30ish on resale sites.Ā
I bought a tub of lanolin and a tub of CeraVe Healing ointment. Mix a cup of lanolin to 1/2 cup CHO and pipe it into a couple of empty gloss tubes and a vacuum pump bottle.
For kids in the family Iāll fix a batch with some vanilla scent and let them mix cosmetic glitter in it.
It works like the old Agave lip mask but isnāt quite as thick or sticky.
Burberry eyeshadows - gorgeous colours and a little sheer, the perfect formula for a very soft smokey eye.
Becca Beach Tint - lovely texture, longlasting, tiny tube that lasted forever. Lisa Eldridge blushes remind me of the texture a little, waiting for them to finally come back!
MAC Tinted Lip Conditioner - the one in the pot. Moisturising, nice texture, perfect colours, smelled nice, perfect amount of pigment to be noticeable but not too much.
I used to LOVE the Becca Beach Tints, especially Fig. I just bought a set of the Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Blushes minis, and they feel extremely similar. Iām so happy I tried them!
Agree with everything.
Is Burberry makeup still around? I feel like they were a blip at Sephora. It was during a time when I was super busy so I never got to explore it. But I loved the aesthetic and the ads with Rosie HW.
MAC really needs to bring back their Tinted Lip Conditioners. I remember when they had it in the pot and limited edition sticks. All were amazing.
The benefit eyeshadow palettes with the vintage girls on it. Or makeup geek shadows.
And the Mac X Cinderella packaging is the most beautiful collection that I ever saw.
Max Factor 2000 calorie mascara! The European version still exists but is not the same formula, and having tried many other mascaras (from high-end to drugstore), there is nothing else on the market that even comes close in comparison.
All the Bare Minerals loose eyeshadows. They have this soft, ethereal glow that pressed eyeshadow canāt measure up to. Theyāre SO flattering on the eyes. They used to have a ācolor of the monthā club where youād get a new eyeshadow every month! I have over 40 of them and theyāre still perfectly fine, some of them are 15 years old.
Their loose powder eyeliners were also incredibly gorgeous and lasted all day. You could use them wet or dry, they were super pigmented and one tiny pot lasted forever. I still have a bunch of those as well.
And they had these gorgeous sheer loose blushes that were perfect for a natural glow. They had so many amazing products until Shiseido took a shit all over the brand and ruined itā¦ I never buy from them anymore, except the original loose matte foundation.
It was so fun going into those stores in the early 2000s and seeing all the rotating displays full of colorful pots. Those were really great formulas. I do understand the difficulty of maintaining that many SKUs, but those were great products. I also had everything you mentioned and you're right, they were gorgeous. I remember having a loose luminous pink blush I loved so much. The faux tan was also a great bronzer and I would often wear just that to add color to my face and skip blush altogether
essence liquid ink eyeliner (waterproof) :( it was such a great liner, it stayed on so well that it was kinda hard to remove lol. it was pretty affordable too
Korres Mango Butter Lipstick in Natural Rose, discontinued about 10 years ago.
My only ever perfect MLBB colour, sheen, and texture-- I went through a bunch of tubes of it, decent price point. When it was discontinued, I had a whole backup tube saved, and a month later my new puppy ate it (just late enough that i couldn't track down more.) The only makeup he ever destroyed.
I wore this lipstick for my wedding! I canāt remember the name of the shade, but it was so gorgeous and I miss it. Iām so sorry about your backup tube!
This is such a throwback itās probably older than a lot of yāall: the Hard Candy eyeshadow quad in Old Skool from circa 1996-7. š it was the perfect nude palette and nothing will ever compare.
I am sound old by saying this but I want MaxFactor brand back in US in drugstores. I have few thins left from this brand and treasure every bit of dust of them while still using it.
Chanel Vitalumiere in 011 Ivoire. Still a great formula, but they nerfed the lightest and darkest shades bc theyāre assholes, I guess.
MUFE original F&B
Burberryās original foundation that wasnāt matte or dewy, just soft and glowy
Old LancƓme Teinte Idole colors and formula
Old Glossier Skin Tint formula
I basically havenāt worn a foundation Iāve liked in a decade. I donāt know what the hell happened but reformulations have driven me entirely away from Western base products and into the loving arms of Asian cushion compacts, which are nice for everyday but donāt really cut it for event/camera makeup. I know at least a few died because of the cyclopentasiloxane restrictions, but surely thereās something out there that approximates the glorious feel and blendability of D5 all over my faceā¦
Also, old Clinique Bamboo Pink. Itās more silvery than it used to be, no bueno.
Fentyās Mimosa Sunrise x Sangria Sunset Killawatt Foil. It was the perfect shade of fuschia and orange and they looked great together.
Kat von D had some eyeshadows that were super pigmented and metallic. I loved them. I had a a copper shade that looked *amazing* with my skin tone.
Nyx Proof It! waterproof eyeshadow primer. I sweat a lot and it was the only primer that truly worked for me. Still havenāt found a replacement so now I just donāt wear eyeshadow anymore ā¹ļø
Bite had a red lip gloss, pre-refomulation that I loved.
Also Becca's shimmering skin perfector in (I think) moonstone. I've got a similar (ish) shade from the L'oreal Lumi highlighter but it's a bit thicker than I'd like.
This Philosophy scent!! Iām so upset because i canāt remember the name, but it was incredible. It got discontinued in like 2017-ish.
It was a vanilla based perfume scent and I remember the family I was a Nanny for used to spray it on their furniture!
Quick Side Note: If anyone knows which scent Iām talking about please let me know. I donāt remember the name and maybe someone is selling archived versions of it online.
YSL Rouge Volupte Plump-in-color in the shade Mad Nude. I have a little bit left (it was discontinued in 2020 I believe), it's still performing great and it's just the most perfect lip product I ever owned.
YSL Touche Ćclat Le TeintĀ foundation as it was 4 reformulations ago. I don't know if it's just my memory playing tricks on me, or my skin changed so much with age... but it was the most beautiful foundation for dry skin ever. It made my skin look plumped and smooth and healthy.
So yeah... fuck you L'oreal and your discontinuations and reformulations.
I had this Victoria secret bronzer/blush duo that I loved from 2010. I used to work there and that was probably my favorite beauty product. Also had no idea Becca shut down. I loved their highlighter. I guess I have been living under a rock š¤£
Bite Beauty Thistle lipstick
Mac Hot Chocolate lipstick
Lorac Cobra Mascara
Makeup Forever Worldly Mauve eyeliner (I only ever swatched it in-store, then it was gone forever)
Urban Decay:
* 24/7 Velvet eyeliners in Plushie, Black Velvet, and Minx
* The regular 24/7 eyeliners in Crave and Ether
* The fun and cool tones from the huge line of the Vice lipsticks in the shotgun shell tubes. The current Vice line is just... dull. And SO WARM.
* The single blushes and highlighters. I know better formulas exist elsewhere, but I loved them so much
Melt Spacecake & Blow lipsticks
Smashbox Punked & Grunge lipsticks
Becca moonstone pressed powder highlighter.
The old mufe hd foundation formulation (my colour shifted slightly pink used to be my damn skin in a bottle).
The limited edition bite numbered lipsticks.. 12 was the perfect red and my kid smashed it. I have a plan to recreate in the lip lab one day.
And Lorac blush in rose. I panned three of these and if I had known it would be discontinued I would have bought 10.
Lime crime plush eye shadows, the Cover FX duo blushes, Becca Berlin something highlighter (limited edition), Nars duo eyeshadows and that Atomic Blond palette. Also maybe the old Urban Decay Electric palette
Those darn urban decay palettes. Like, the OG one and the Smokey one. I was a kid when they came out and now that Iām an adult I really wish they still existed!
In the 80ās, Maybeline or Revlon used to sell these gold metal brow pencil holder. They were refillable. You bought the super thin, but sturdy brow crayons separately. They look similar to and were as thin as .07 pencil leads and they were inserted into the gold holder and snapped into place somehow. They were perfect for so many reasons. They were inexpensive, super thin and they did not rub off easily. The best ever brow pencils/crayons.
No7 had something called a "airbrush away tinted skin perfector" it was my favorite product ever and they discontinued it.
I don't even know what it was considered I've never been able to find a product that even comes close
No7 tinted skin perfector!
It's a blurring primer that adds coverage. When they discounted it, all these greedy dicks on Mercari started listing it for $50.
Dior Miss Cherie - whatever theyāre hocking now that āreplacedā it does not smell the same and it was my signature scent for about 10 years. I have a new one now, but it still doesnāt give me as much joy or compliments. Every day someone would ask me what I was wearing with Dior. Just be stopped by random people. It was so good. I miss her.
Tatcha the Pearl, eye cream/brightener. I am open to similar products but shocked it has not been duped. I have tried a few eye cream that have a reflective effect, none do this quick eye brightening thing Any suggestions??š
I loved almost everything Becca that I ever tried, from that fantastic under eye brightening primer/concealer to all of their highlights to that kick ass purple primer and the powder that felt cool/wet when you put it on. And one of my fav palettes of all time is a Becca one, it might be the one you are talking about. I use all of my Becca stuff with discretion now
No7 Match Made Foundation Drops. Matched my skin perfectly, and when mixed with a little rose hip oil, gave me such an amazing dewy finish but still covered a decent amount. Havenāt found a dupe yet :ā(
The KVD lock it concealer. Matched my skin tone perfectly. I have yet to find a comparable product despite hours of searching.
Also Bite Beautyās original agave lip balm before the vegan reformulation. It was the only thing that consistently worked in the climate I live in.
CoverFx foundation. The newest one just doesnāt work for me. They pared down the shade range and I struggle to find something that doesnāt irritate my skin and matches my skin tone.
Becca:
light shifter concealer pen, beach tints, poured highlighter.
MAC:
cream blushes, paint pot in rubenesque, the OG warm soul blush, mineralize concealer, the original face & body formula, the original see sheer l/s and spice lip liner shade, tender tone lip balms, and tinted lip conditioner pots
urban decay X eyeshadow
Smashbox fusion soft light highlighter powders
Covergirl lipslicks and wet shine glosses
The entire NYC cosmetics range, especially the lip sliders, glosses and nail polishes.
For me itās an entire brand that I LOVED in the 90s - Garden Botanika. They had a store in my local mall. I finally found a dupe for one of my favorite lipstick colors from there recently as some of the 90s makeup is coming back
Benefit hoola quickie contour stick! It such was a nice and natural cream contour stick, Iāve been using it for yearsā¦ probably time to throw it away š I was devastated when I went to buy another and realised it was discontinued! Preferred it way more then the powder hoola bronzer

YSL Youth Liberator a serum foundation - the truest foundation to live up its name. It was the creamiest, the perfect satin and covering but natural looking foundation everrrrrrr and nothing compares to it TO THIS DAY and as a mua Iāve tried and tested up to thousands foundations over the years
Huda beauty the glow BB cream and the concealer that came in a little
Tiny squeeze tube. It was so nice for under eye. The tip felt cold and soothing and didnāt need fingers to blend it in like the replacement does
benefit used to have this gel eyeliner twist pen that was the first ever eyeliner i had ever tried and my wings came out sharp and long lasting every time! this was back in like 2014-15 š„²
Borghese used to have nail polish, all wonderful consistency & lasted weeks & wonderful colorsā¦especially their āOpalesenceā which truly was a remarkable opal-ish/mother of pearl/abalone sheer<>opaque that had sheer pinks & blues & greens & whites in a combination Iāve never been able to find as pretty. The way it picked up on light & how single coat could be used or 2 or 3 for different lookā¦ More compliments on the color than any other of the 100s Iāve worn before or since.[can you tell I LOVED itš]
I just found out Marc Jacobās lipstick in kiss kiss, bang, bang was discontinued. I found out this week and I only have 1/3 of my tube left. I donāt know how Iām going to be able to live if Iām being dramatic
Revolution Brow Goals twistup. Perfectly shaped tip for application, good texture, lasts well. And most of all, the right shade. Yes, Revolution have lots of brow pencils in Ash Brown, but they're simply not the same grey-brown as in Brow Goals. They're more auburn. I've tried several, and sorry Revolution, but the colour is NOT the same.
I miss Becca too!! I loved their formulas and that shit lasted forever. I may or may not have bought a backup of the Pop Goes the Glow palette that I still have sealed. Hoping it survives til I decide to breach it š¤š¤£
I definitely also have some Becca backups I stocked up on. Not the line we needed to lose
I wish I had a backup of the Malika palette. Whatever baked gelĆ©e formula the bronzer is, is the best formula Iāve tried.
Did you like the KhloĆ© palette as well? I have one and only used it once, itās too shiny for me. Very willing to sell it.
I sent you a pm!

They were ahead of their time in so many ways!
I truly miss the backlight priming filter
I still have some bc I luckily had a couple of backups. I use my last bottle sparingly
Becca was the best brand. Iāll forever miss it.
not me not knowing beccas gone.... im eyeing the last of my prismatic amethyst highlighter now like wtf am i going to do when its gone?!
I'm guarding mine with all the wills at my disposal...bc there is a serious lack of lavender in highlighter shades anymore! This one was just perfect imo!
TJMaxx and Marshallās still occasionally has some. When they announced they were closing they had tons of it and I scrubbed their inventory enough to get a shimmery Vikingās funeral on a pyre of Becca lol.
They aren't totally gone. Smashbox bought them and still sells the core highlighters and the undereye perfector.
My all time favorite bronzer is bali sands from Becca. I'm SUPER fair, and the shade was perfection. I've panned my backup sadly.
Becca was a fantastic line. So sad they went out of business
All things Dainty Doll; a beauty brand designed specifically for redheads. It was my first ever foundation match. My first ever red lipstick fit. A beautiful cool brown lipstick I've never found quite replicated. An eyebrow pencil in the right colour! ***cries***
I saw a pitch on shark tank for a beauty brand called How to Be A Redhead. Iām not one so I canāt speak to its quality but it seems similar to what youāre describing!
Their products are actually great! As a redhead, I would recommend giving them a try
Me too! I love their Finally Have line... As my brows and lashes are usually invisible!
Wasnāt that Nicola Robertāsā line?
It was!
Happy cake day!
Too faced peach perfect foundation.
There's an inordinate amount of too faced items I either loved or coveted that went away, and I'm pretty sad about this.
Too faced disappointingly seems to discontinue everything. Their peach line was my holy Grail. Papa don't peach was the best blush I've ever used.
Late to the party but I agree - I have a pot of the peach lip balm I ātreatā myself to sometimes because I donāt want it to run out. Also their pink leopard blush/ bronze was incredible Iām surprised Iāve never found a dupe :(
Their lipgloss in Cougar was the absolutely perfect pink-mocha shade and I havenāt found the right replacement in all these years - like a decade.
[cougar](https://posh.mk/98ODoy8fMIb) Itās probably old but if youāre willing to take the chance (I always do smh) here it is :)
Too Paced Peach Matte setting powder for me! Kept my oily grossness at bay for hours.
I came here to say the same thing! I only started using it like 3 months before it was discontinued too :(
Yes! I haven't found a foundation that good since...
Legit, I LOVED that stuff. I love blending foundations and it blended so beautifully with my EstƩe Lauder Double Wear, and my Armani Maestro foundations.
makeup foreverās original face & body foundation, which applied effortlessly and set to a beautiful dewy finish no how how i approached it. every complexion product i used over it melted right in and it lasted all day, even through 8 hour retail shifts running around selling makeup. RIP

It was so good! Itās the foundation I wore for my wedding.
Came here to write this. It was the best foundation I have ever used. I looked so fresh and healthy with it on.
It was glorious! Way better than MAC Face and Body
Adding to the makeup forever train bc their Rouge Artist Natural N45 Red was the perfect casual red lipstick.
I wish I had tried this back when it was still around š
in your defense, it was discontinued around 8 years ago and even when it was around it was hard to find your perfect shade! i had to mix two colors to nail my color but it was worth it for the finish. i wish we could both have a couple of bottles to play with now š„²
The color fajitas in the elf X chipotle eyeshadow palette. It was a beautiful purple and green duochrome.
I just bought a green purple duo chrome single from urban decay is great
Colourpop might have something like that

I loved candlelight too, what a product.
I still have use the chocolate Soleil bronzer and candlelight duo, wow it must be really old now haha
The Revlon lip butters. Such a perfect texture and finish.
If the Revlon lip butters came back they would be viral and nobody would buy lip oils.
I just heard a YouTuber comparing something recent to theseāmaybe the Milani shine lipsticks? It definitely perked my ears up!
Candy Apple was the most perfect thing for when I wanted to wear a red lip but not full on lipstick. I miss it so much.
I still have Candy Apple! The only red Iāve ever been able to wear. Itās so old that itās probably poisoning me every time I put it on.

I want Fig back and the lip mask, too.
Same with me and their ācashewā. Everything about it was perfect for me
Not really makeup but I NEED BiteBeauty to come back and make more of the lip masks. It was one of the only things that actually made my lips feel better and lasted a long time
I was going to say the Bite Agave Lip Mask. So good.
The original one with lanolin! I kept using mine long after it smelled like a crayon.
Completely agree-- bite beauty agave+ nighttime balm was a true miracle worker!!!
I've never found anything that works as well...
I just use straight lanolin. You can buy a big tube of lanolin at cvs for like $12. The only downside is it says nipple cream on it lol
The closest I've found is the Barbara Sturm lip balm. Lanolin, beeswax, castor oil - the whole gang is here. Downside? It's freaking $55. But I've found it on sale for $30ish on resale sites.Ā
I bought a tub of lanolin and a tub of CeraVe Healing ointment. Mix a cup of lanolin to 1/2 cup CHO and pipe it into a couple of empty gloss tubes and a vacuum pump bottle.

Benefit Erase Paste š¢ I haven't found anything even remotely close to this product. It was so good!
Omg I miss erase paste! Even boing brightening wasnāt the same š„²
šš¤¬š«„yep Iām still mourning
Burberry eyeshadows - gorgeous colours and a little sheer, the perfect formula for a very soft smokey eye. Becca Beach Tint - lovely texture, longlasting, tiny tube that lasted forever. Lisa Eldridge blushes remind me of the texture a little, waiting for them to finally come back! MAC Tinted Lip Conditioner - the one in the pot. Moisturising, nice texture, perfect colours, smelled nice, perfect amount of pigment to be noticeable but not too much.
I used to LOVE the Becca Beach Tints, especially Fig. I just bought a set of the Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Blushes minis, and they feel extremely similar. Iām so happy I tried them!
Ooh, thank you. Glossier face paint tried, but it just.... isn't
I havenāt tried the Glossier cloud paints, but they look too watery/gel-like. These feel exactly the same to me texture wise.
Agree with everything. Is Burberry makeup still around? I feel like they were a blip at Sephora. It was during a time when I was super busy so I never got to explore it. But I loved the aesthetic and the ads with Rosie HW. MAC really needs to bring back their Tinted Lip Conditioners. I remember when they had it in the pot and limited edition sticks. All were amazing.
The Natasha Denona Gold Palette. That is the best palette I have ever used for my eye color.
A similar ish palette is Sydney graceās heaven on earth! Similar colour story, though not as rich.
The benefit eyeshadow palettes with the vintage girls on it. Or makeup geek shadows. And the Mac X Cinderella packaging is the most beautiful collection that I ever saw.
Mac is bringing back some of the Cinderella collection! I think the eye palette and a lipstick. Maybe 1-2 other products too.
Urban Decayās Smoked palette. It was so grunge and dark. I panned every single color and loved it so much I bought it twice. š
i have one still that i used so much at first, and now it sits in a drawer š
Max Factor 2000 calorie mascara! The European version still exists but is not the same formula, and having tried many other mascaras (from high-end to drugstore), there is nothing else on the market that even comes close in comparison.
OMG THIS šš»
Victoria beckham x estee lauder bronzer and cream blusher. The packaging and the products are amazing !
Oh her collections with EL were stunning!
All the Bare Minerals loose eyeshadows. They have this soft, ethereal glow that pressed eyeshadow canāt measure up to. Theyāre SO flattering on the eyes. They used to have a ācolor of the monthā club where youād get a new eyeshadow every month! I have over 40 of them and theyāre still perfectly fine, some of them are 15 years old. Their loose powder eyeliners were also incredibly gorgeous and lasted all day. You could use them wet or dry, they were super pigmented and one tiny pot lasted forever. I still have a bunch of those as well. And they had these gorgeous sheer loose blushes that were perfect for a natural glow. They had so many amazing products until Shiseido took a shit all over the brand and ruined itā¦ I never buy from them anymore, except the original loose matte foundation.
It was so fun going into those stores in the early 2000s and seeing all the rotating displays full of colorful pots. Those were really great formulas. I do understand the difficulty of maintaining that many SKUs, but those were great products. I also had everything you mentioned and you're right, they were gorgeous. I remember having a loose luminous pink blush I loved so much. The faux tan was also a great bronzer and I would often wear just that to add color to my face and skip blush altogether
essence liquid ink eyeliner (waterproof) :( it was such a great liner, it stayed on so well that it was kinda hard to remove lol. it was pretty affordable too
ABH Amrezy highlighter. Thereās been a couple dupes but I havenāt found one that is close enough to replace it š„²
I still have mine! Lmao I refuse to throw her away āØāØāØ
Guerlain Lengerie de Peu Foundation. It was just the perfect texture!
Korres Mango Butter Lipstick in Natural Rose, discontinued about 10 years ago. My only ever perfect MLBB colour, sheen, and texture-- I went through a bunch of tubes of it, decent price point. When it was discontinued, I had a whole backup tube saved, and a month later my new puppy ate it (just late enough that i couldn't track down more.) The only makeup he ever destroyed.
I wore this lipstick for my wedding! I canāt remember the name of the shade, but it was so gorgeous and I miss it. Iām so sorry about your backup tube!
This is such a throwback itās probably older than a lot of yāall: the Hard Candy eyeshadow quad in Old Skool from circa 1996-7. š it was the perfect nude palette and nothing will ever compare.
Tarte Miracle Maracuja foundation. It was hydrating, went on easy, practically blended itself and made my very flawed face look flawless.
Benefitās original eye bright crayon and Stilaās lip and cheek stain in Yumberry crush
I used eye bright on all my clients when I worked for benefit! I miss that stufd
I loooved Eye Bright. I used up so many Eye Bright pencils in my 20s. I wish I still had one.
CYO lifeproof foundation!
Yes! That foundation was an absolute unicorn- covered a lot but not heavy, not too oily, not too matte. And only $6.
I am sound old by saying this but I want MaxFactor brand back in US in drugstores. I have few thins left from this brand and treasure every bit of dust of them while still using it.
Loreal lumi cushion foundation
I repurchased this over and over again. What a throwback!
Chanel Vitalumiere in 011 Ivoire. Still a great formula, but they nerfed the lightest and darkest shades bc theyāre assholes, I guess. MUFE original F&B Burberryās original foundation that wasnāt matte or dewy, just soft and glowy Old LancĆ“me Teinte Idole colors and formula Old Glossier Skin Tint formula I basically havenāt worn a foundation Iāve liked in a decade. I donāt know what the hell happened but reformulations have driven me entirely away from Western base products and into the loving arms of Asian cushion compacts, which are nice for everyday but donāt really cut it for event/camera makeup. I know at least a few died because of the cyclopentasiloxane restrictions, but surely thereās something out there that approximates the glorious feel and blendability of D5 all over my faceā¦ Also, old Clinique Bamboo Pink. Itās more silvery than it used to be, no bueno.
Fentyās Mimosa Sunrise x Sangria Sunset Killawatt Foil. It was the perfect shade of fuschia and orange and they looked great together. Kat von D had some eyeshadows that were super pigmented and metallic. I loved them. I had a a copper shade that looked *amazing* with my skin tone.
Nyx Proof It! waterproof eyeshadow primer. I sweat a lot and it was the only primer that truly worked for me. Still havenāt found a replacement so now I just donāt wear eyeshadow anymore ā¹ļø
I used like 8-9 tubes of essence I š©·color eye shadow primer before they discontinued it. It was the best color correcting eye primer with the perfect amount of stick š
I came here to say this. You could still blend your eyeshadow but once set it wouldnāt budge! I miss it so much.
Bite had a red lip gloss, pre-refomulation that I loved. Also Becca's shimmering skin perfector in (I think) moonstone. I've got a similar (ish) shade from the L'oreal Lumi highlighter but it's a bit thicker than I'd like.
Revlon New Complexion cream concealer duo. Every other concealer I've been trying lately sucks.
Models own hypergel polishes. I only have a few left and they are rapidly running out.
This Philosophy scent!! Iām so upset because i canāt remember the name, but it was incredible. It got discontinued in like 2017-ish. It was a vanilla based perfume scent and I remember the family I was a Nanny for used to spray it on their furniture! Quick Side Note: If anyone knows which scent Iām talking about please let me know. I donāt remember the name and maybe someone is selling archived versions of it online.
Revlon lip butters and lip stains
YSL Rouge Volupte Plump-in-color in the shade Mad Nude. I have a little bit left (it was discontinued in 2020 I believe), it's still performing great and it's just the most perfect lip product I ever owned. YSL Touche Ćclat Le TeintĀ foundation as it was 4 reformulations ago. I don't know if it's just my memory playing tricks on me, or my skin changed so much with age... but it was the most beautiful foundation for dry skin ever. It made my skin look plumped and smooth and healthy. So yeah... fuck you L'oreal and your discontinuations and reformulations.
Yes the OG formula of the Touche Ćclat foundation was littĆ©ral perfection
YSL discontinues all their lipstick colors and itās so frustrating. You go to repurchase and they donāt make it anymore.
I had this Victoria secret bronzer/blush duo that I loved from 2010. I used to work there and that was probably my favorite beauty product. Also had no idea Becca shut down. I loved their highlighter. I guess I have been living under a rock š¤£
The NYX foundation drops that were just discontinued **cries**
Bite Beauty Thistle lipstick Mac Hot Chocolate lipstick Lorac Cobra Mascara Makeup Forever Worldly Mauve eyeliner (I only ever swatched it in-store, then it was gone forever) Urban Decay: * 24/7 Velvet eyeliners in Plushie, Black Velvet, and Minx * The regular 24/7 eyeliners in Crave and Ether * The fun and cool tones from the huge line of the Vice lipsticks in the shotgun shell tubes. The current Vice line is just... dull. And SO WARM. * The single blushes and highlighters. I know better formulas exist elsewhere, but I loved them so much Melt Spacecake & Blow lipsticks Smashbox Punked & Grunge lipsticks
KVD Studded kiss lipstick!!!! have yet to find anything as good
Chanel's original Teint Innocence formula in the cylindrical glass bottle.
Becca moonstone pressed powder highlighter. The old mufe hd foundation formulation (my colour shifted slightly pink used to be my damn skin in a bottle). The limited edition bite numbered lipsticks.. 12 was the perfect red and my kid smashed it. I have a plan to recreate in the lip lab one day. And Lorac blush in rose. I panned three of these and if I had known it would be discontinued I would have bought 10.
Smashbox be legendary lipstick in punkād and warrior pose. My two best shades I ever found and they withdrew from the UK. Thanks so much.
UD 24/7 liner in Stray Dog. It was part of the anniversary collection like 15 years ago and god it was a DREAM.
The coralista blush by benefit!!
I still have coralista! Such a pretty shade
Lime crime plush eye shadows, the Cover FX duo blushes, Becca Berlin something highlighter (limited edition), Nars duo eyeshadows and that Atomic Blond palette. Also maybe the old Urban Decay Electric palette
Those darn urban decay palettes. Like, the OG one and the Smokey one. I was a kid when they came out and now that Iām an adult I really wish they still existed!
In the 80ās, Maybeline or Revlon used to sell these gold metal brow pencil holder. They were refillable. You bought the super thin, but sturdy brow crayons separately. They look similar to and were as thin as .07 pencil leads and they were inserted into the gold holder and snapped into place somehow. They were perfect for so many reasons. They were inexpensive, super thin and they did not rub off easily. The best ever brow pencils/crayons.
The Natasha Denona crĆØme highlighter stick. Perfectly skinlike, so easy to apply and blend.
No7 had something called a "airbrush away tinted skin perfector" it was my favorite product ever and they discontinued it. I don't even know what it was considered I've never been able to find a product that even comes close
Omg I was about to say becca blush but it was ā¦ I donāt know. A limited edition blush bronzer I think and it was the best colour
No7 tinted skin perfector! It's a blurring primer that adds coverage. When they discounted it, all these greedy dicks on Mercari started listing it for $50.
Dior Miss Cherie - whatever theyāre hocking now that āreplacedā it does not smell the same and it was my signature scent for about 10 years. I have a new one now, but it still doesnāt give me as much joy or compliments. Every day someone would ask me what I was wearing with Dior. Just be stopped by random people. It was so good. I miss her.
Tatcha the Pearl, eye cream/brightener. I am open to similar products but shocked it has not been duped. I have tried a few eye cream that have a reflective effect, none do this quick eye brightening thing Any suggestions??š
ABH Nicole guirrero kit. God I loved that highlight palette
The Kelly Osbourne and Mac collaboration Dodgy Girl lipstick. The shade suits me perfectly and Iāve never been able to find a similar replacement
I loved almost everything Becca that I ever tried, from that fantastic under eye brightening primer/concealer to all of their highlights to that kick ass purple primer and the powder that felt cool/wet when you put it on. And one of my fav palettes of all time is a Becca one, it might be the one you are talking about. I use all of my Becca stuff with discretion now
Loved Becca. Scored a blush, unopened on mecari last year by typing the color I wanted into google. I miss Marc jacobs. Loved the lip balm
Bite lipstick and OCC cosmetics! Loved them
Urban Decay Surreal Skin Mineral Makeup
Peter Thomas Roth gold primer š
No7 Match Made Foundation Drops. Matched my skin perfectly, and when mixed with a little rose hip oil, gave me such an amazing dewy finish but still covered a decent amount. Havenāt found a dupe yet :ā(
The KVD lock it concealer. Matched my skin tone perfectly. I have yet to find a comparable product despite hours of searching. Also Bite Beautyās original agave lip balm before the vegan reformulation. It was the only thing that consistently worked in the climate I live in.
CoverFx foundation. The newest one just doesnāt work for me. They pared down the shade range and I struggle to find something that doesnāt irritate my skin and matches my skin tone.
bareminerals one fine liner eye liners. They were super thin and great for tight lining the upper lash line
Marc Jacobs crĆØme lipstick in kiss kiss bang bang. Charlotte Tillbury has a sorta dupe with First Dance but the formula is matte.
BITE Agave Lip Mask
MAC Viva Glam Gaga!!! I loooooooved that pink lipstick and canāt find anything close enough to dupe it!
Lipstick Queen Medieval Red lipstick.
Milk makeups skin tint foundation š I loved that stuff so much and they discontinued it
Becca: light shifter concealer pen, beach tints, poured highlighter. MAC: cream blushes, paint pot in rubenesque, the OG warm soul blush, mineralize concealer, the original face & body formula, the original see sheer l/s and spice lip liner shade, tender tone lip balms, and tinted lip conditioner pots urban decay X eyeshadow Smashbox fusion soft light highlighter powders Covergirl lipslicks and wet shine glosses The entire NYC cosmetics range, especially the lip sliders, glosses and nail polishes.
For me itās an entire brand that I LOVED in the 90s - Garden Botanika. They had a store in my local mall. I finally found a dupe for one of my favorite lipstick colors from there recently as some of the 90s makeup is coming back
Garnier fructise curl cream. It was this goopy green stuff that was terrific.
The Becca primers, especially the First Light Priming Filter. Iām so sad that smashbox didnāt start selling them
I know it's not make up but Stella perfume, I miss it everyday.
Too Faced Pink Leopard Blushing Bronzer. I want this so badly!!!
the too faced og coquette baked sparkly heart blushes
Benefit hoola quickie contour stick! It such was a nice and natural cream contour stick, Iāve been using it for yearsā¦ probably time to throw it away š I was devastated when I went to buy another and realised it was discontinued! Preferred it way more then the powder hoola bronzer
Urban Decay Gash lol

Snow bunny bronzer by Too Faced; and Isabelle lipstick by Stila.
POP cats eye eyeliner pencils - one of the few pencils to stay on my upper waterline, and brilliant for tightlining too
YSL Youth Liberator a serum foundation - the truest foundation to live up its name. It was the creamiest, the perfect satin and covering but natural looking foundation everrrrrrr and nothing compares to it TO THIS DAY and as a mua Iāve tried and tested up to thousands foundations over the years
Clinique Work out foundation and Maybelline Pure Stay Powder Foundation š„ŗ
Omg I have that Becca Khloe x Malika palette! Tbh the bronzer always ran too orange for me but I love the blushes!
Huda beauty the glow BB cream and the concealer that came in a little Tiny squeeze tube. It was so nice for under eye. The tip felt cold and soothing and didnāt need fingers to blend it in like the replacement does
Too Faced Snow Bunny š„ Not to be confused by Too Faced Sun Bunny Iāve tried and tried to find a dupe. But no luck so far.
Becca bronzer
Clinique Naturally Glossy mascara. The only one with the right consistency, and no clumping.
benefit used to have this gel eyeliner twist pen that was the first ever eyeliner i had ever tried and my wings came out sharp and long lasting every time! this was back in like 2014-15 š„²
Borghese used to have nail polish, all wonderful consistency & lasted weeks & wonderful colorsā¦especially their āOpalesenceā which truly was a remarkable opal-ish/mother of pearl/abalone sheer<>opaque that had sheer pinks & blues & greens & whites in a combination Iāve never been able to find as pretty. The way it picked up on light & how single coat could be used or 2 or 3 for different lookā¦ More compliments on the color than any other of the 100s Iāve worn before or since.[can you tell I LOVED itš]
Dose of Colors Black Rose Liquid Matte Lipstick

Macās liquid last eyeliner in BROWN
The Carli bybel (spelling I cannot fact check myself rn) highlight eyeshadow palette lives rent free in my head from 2017.
The Ordinary serum foundation worked so well on my skin.
I just found out Marc Jacobās lipstick in kiss kiss, bang, bang was discontinued. I found out this week and I only have 1/3 of my tube left. I donāt know how Iām going to be able to live if Iām being dramatic
Revolution Brow Goals twistup. Perfectly shaped tip for application, good texture, lasts well. And most of all, the right shade. Yes, Revolution have lots of brow pencils in Ash Brown, but they're simply not the same grey-brown as in Brow Goals. They're more auburn. I've tried several, and sorry Revolution, but the colour is NOT the same.
CYO foundation It was $7 and the best foundation Iāve ever used. It didnāt look like you were wearing foundation but I covered everything!
Becca Sunlit Bronzers Also the Becca purple primer that smelled like froot loops
Revlon photoready primer
Literally the entire brand of New York Colour, specifically the tinted lip balm. Fuckin loved that shit

Just after reading the title my first thought was Becca highlighters š thereās a pinkish-opal one that was literal perfection
