Oh, you guys. I found out some really sad news over the weekend… one of my favorite beauty products has entered the Discontinued phase of its product lifecycle:
RIP, EZ4U 2 Go.
I know, #firstworldproblems, right? But this product really was a gem. Luckily, I did find some stragglers on Amazon and I scooped up a couple more boxes, but still. After my wave of travel this fall, these will be GONE. Forever! SAD PANDA! It got me thinking, though, about all of the other products I’ve loved that apparently nobody else did. So without further ado, welcome to Becky’s Product Graveyard.
1. Aveeno Positively Smooth Shower & Shave Cream.
Ahhh, Aveeno.
This stuff was awesome! I don’t like shaving cream, but this felt more like body wash. Every time I used it, absolutely zero nicks or bumps. I have one last bottle that I’m savoring-slash-hoarding. Although there are still a few bottles left on Amazon, they’re like $8 or something ridiculous like that. Now, I love the stuff as much as the next girl, but I’m not cray-cray.
2. True Blue Spa Fine and Sandy Beach Pedicure. In the interest of full disclosure, I totally forgot that I still had a bottle of this… so I’m a little excited to bust it out again!
Beachy toes! Yes!
This scrub is awesome. It’s a great pre-pedi scrub that sloughs off all the heebie jeebies. Yes, your feet have them too. Don’t lie.
3. Sephora Body Butter. There are still a few various scents left, but my absolute favorite of all time was the Tropical Jasmine. It smelled exactly like the most delicious beach you could ever imagine!
I don’t really love this particular coconut, but it’s the closest I can get to my beloved Tropical Jasmine. Le sigh.
4. Skintimate After-Shave Gel. Does anybody remember that stuff? It was the BEST! I can still hear the commercial: “Skintimate Peaches? Or Raspberry Rain? Skintimate Peaches? Or Raspberry Rain?” (effective advertising, I suppose, if I still remember it 10 years later.) It had a great scent, plus it helped my legs avoid razor burn post-shave. Lost and gone forever.
5. Bath & Body Works Sunburst Melon. Oh Em Gee, you guys. This scent was discontinued in like 1993 and I am STILL upset about it. It was the product that hooked me, and then it went away. Poof! Just like that.
So that’s my Top 5 (well… technically, Top 6). What are your beauty favorites that have hit the Product Graveyard? Conversely, what products do you use now that will make you hoard them once you hear about their retirement? 😉 Tell me in the comments!
