This butter-caramel scented cleanser was released as part of the holiday collections in 2012, but Lush fans refused to give up on the limited edition product. Made with maize flour, corn meal and cinnamon powder, it's a gentle exfoliant, vegan-friendly and smells yummy enough to eat! (But don't -- if you're tempted, Lush suggests the edible Popcorn Lip Scrub instead. )
This year's Grammy awards debuted one throwback we couldn't wait to get our hands on again (no, I'm not talking about host LL Cool J). Herbal Essences debuted their new commercials (you know -- the yes, yes, yes! ones) they had in the 90s and early 00s for their relaunched Herbal Essences Smooth & Shine Collection shampoos and conditioners. The new products are delightfully sulfate- and silicone-free and smell just how we remember -- like chamomile and roses and Generation Y.
This eyeshadow palette may not be on the same level as Urban Decay's Naked palettes, but it is one of their best-selling. The new rendition ditched the sponge-tip applicators you never used and replaced them with a handy shadow brush. They upped the design factor, threw in a travel-size Eyeshadow Primer Potion and updated the eyeshadows to new, longer-lasting formulas.
Made with tamanu oil, rose hip extract, cocoa butter and shea butter to help reduce the appearance of stretchmarks and improve skin elasticity, this product is a favorite with mommies-to-be. Our reviewers say "it's not overly greasy, absorbs quickly" and leaves skin "so smooth and soft."
Along with the brand's popular (if not offensively named) Tigi Bed Head Dumb Blonde Shampoo and Conditioners, the brand is also re-releasing the formerly named Brunette Goddess Shampoos and conditioners. The packaging may be revamped and the product renamed, but the formula remains a favorite. (Our readers rate the products highly for their "chocolate/honey/brown sugar scent" and for the "noticeable difference" it makes on their hair.)
You spend years and a good chunk of change searching for the perfect lipstick -- the one that complements your skin tone, stays on and doesn't run -- and you find it. Two tubes in, it vanishes, and you discover the brand discontinued that particular shade. It's my nightmare. I buy in bulk and hoard my favorite beauty products in fear of my violet eyeliner or date night perfume being discontinued. And apparently, I'm not alone. When brands discontinued these beauty products, fans and loyal customers lost it. They launched e-mail campaigns, begged and threatened boycotts. They did everything in their power to let the cosmetic company know just how much they loved these beauty products. And their efforts paid off. These discontinued beauty products saw so much love the brands brought 'em back.
The moral of the story? If you love a discontinued beauty product, don't set it free. Stalk it.
