force of consumerism

Who knew?

Since I've been away from the US they've stopped making my foundation, mascara, eyebrow gel, lipstick color, saline solution, bras, underwear, stockings and loads of other things I'm forgetting right now. My apologies to all of you who are suffering lack of supply because I wasn't there to do my part as a demading consumer.

At least creamy Jiff is still available. Thanks for picking up the slack. ;>

i HATE when they quit making the bra style i wear. grrrr. same with underwear. i feel like i must buy 20 pair when i find a kind i like - just in case i can never find it again.

i'm sorry for all your losses....

that is just so sad!!

does sephora deliver to St. Pete? If so you should definitely go to town on that site and find some new faves. It's dangerous though... I used to be so loyal, but because of sephora I'm constantly trying the new better improved faster lighter whatever beauty product!

Do you need all these things for the hot date you aren't telling us about????

Kate, that is so depressing. Give me a list and I'll search for these items. They have to be somewhere!

Kate, I know how frustrating that is! During my 5.5 years overseas, they stopped making many things I really liked. I hate to tell you this, but my toothpaste (Arm & Hammer *gel*, I've forgotten all the other specifics of it). I kept thinking maybe they just stopped carrying my stuff on base, but when I moved back, nobody else had it either. Argh.

I've adapted, though. Arm & Hammer toothpaste isn't really all that different from the gel, lol!

Oops, that was supposed to say, "my toothpaste...was one of them."

I can't find anything here. I am having to order through Amazon stuff I used to buy at Target.

I hate when you finally find your perfect makeup color or product and then they discontinue it. It drives me crazy!
