Discontinued Beauty Products That Fetch Crazy Prices on eBayYou won't believe how much money people are dropping for the old, expired beauty products they miss the most |
Every time I crack open a bottle of nail polish, dip into a freshly pressed blush or apply a brand-new lipstick, I'm looking for one thing: head-over-heels, can't-live-without-it, Holy-Grail-status beauty-product love.
On those rare occasions that I find it, the breakout-inducing cleansers, runny mascaras and stinging serums I tried feel worth it. As they say about love, when you know, you know.
So I can appreciate the panic that sets in when you arrive at the makeup counter to find that your favorite product has been discontinued. I can also understand why bereft loyalists might go to Elaine Benes extremes to track down every last bottle of their beloved beauty product. What I can't understand is someone paying 25 times the original price for an expired or half-empty jar, as many regularly do on eBay.
Here, the gone-but-not-forgotten beauty products women are bidding big bucks on -- and the almost-as-good alternatives we hope will take their place (RIP).
