I was thinking about how much I miss the cooling wet loose powder from this line the other day. The line was represented by Jillian who went on to work with Laura Geller, I always enjoyed Jillian and what she had to say. I hope she is doing well.

@Jordan2 that powder I believe was the first of its kind If I remember

correctly it was called Magic Liquid Powder.

I had a girlfriend who wore the Calyx fragrance exclusively which

was a super "green" scent profile

Ah, for decades, Prescriptives was my jam! I wore the Traceless foundation and I will be spending the rest of my life searching for something similar....as so far nothing matches up!! . Anyone have ideas???

@Shelbelle OMG.. you just jogged my memory!!!! I have a bottle too. It's almost completely full. Just went to get it and sprayed myself. Would not be my go to scent but it's a nice change from what I've been wearing. Enjoying it now! Thank you.

I loved the Prescriptives brand.

As they were winding things down, I stocked up (through eBay) on their mini sized False Eyelashes Mascaras. They were selling them in bulk packages. still have a bunch left.

And I still use their eye cream and moisturizer. Same thing. Stocked up on them.

@Jordan2 , you can get that magic powder on Amazon for $150.79.

I used to use their foundation years ago. I think that was before my Lancome phase. I guess I changed because they went out of business? From what I remember, I was happy with it, so probably wouldn't have gone on the hunt for another one. I used a Lancome foundation for years and would more than likely still be using it had they not discontinued it. I wasn't happy with the Lancome replacement for that foundation and my foundation journey began.

I remember when Prescriptives first came to the Q and it was represented by Darac, I remember calling the testimonial line and speaking with him and Judy at the time. I have called the testimonial line twice-both for Beauty, once for Prescriptives, and once for Perricone. These both were a long long time ago........

I wouldn't call now.....

@CANDLEQUEEN I remember him, I liked him too. I remember he came out with his own line, I vaguely remember he had a makeup brush that was supposed to be really special.

I used many Prescriptives products since 1994. I used to get my loose powder custom blended. Still have a lot in reserve and have not found a replacement for that yet. I also used Traceless Level 3 and still have several unopened tubes.

Last year I decided I need to find a good replacement for Traceless. I was lucky and on my first try I found that bareMinerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Moisturizer is a good substitute. On the bareminerals website, I used the find my shade link for this Tinted Moisturizer. To compare I chose Prescriptives, Traceless Level 3 and it gave me the perfect shade suggestion (Ginger 06). Perhaps give that a try. Hope this helps. Good Luck.
