Have you noticed that once you buy the skin care products and even stock up. Then the very next visit they have the new product or new and improved product? After you just spent all that money on skin care from the last visit! It is annoying.

What I've noticed is once I finally find a product that works, it's discontinued.

Yes to both these observations.

I believe we all have experienced it. I liked a product by Laura Mercier and she discontinued it. Over the years lipstick shades, nail colors, and they even do it at the grocery store!!!

YES. Cover Girl Lash Exact Mascara. LOVED IT. No longer sold. AARRGGH. It went on nicely, one coat coverage, no gloms. Actually I should google, maybe enough of us whined about that it's back on the market.

Color cosmetics is no big deal. You can always find the shade someone else did away with. (Coty!)
I sometimes pay attention to new & improved. It depends on what ingredients I am interested in at the moment.
Like Victoria Principal. In her latest skincare development she is using green tea. It took a while for me to try this newer line, but I really like what I've tried so far!

Yes!!!! It's how they keep women buying and buying; it's why so many women have boxes and boxes of skincare and cosmetics they don't use. There's always the "new" and "improved". They want us chasing a fantasy with our credit cards...lol I never fell for that, I fall for a lot of hype but never with skincare or cosmetics. I use DOVE facial cleanser and DOVE moisturizer. I started using a serum that tightens my skin but it's not a QVC product. That's all I need, I don't even watch skincare/cosmetic programs on shopping channels....they just make me laugh. I'd rather spend my money on handbags and shoes.

What I have also noticed is that the new and "better" or "improved" products do nothing better or more than the old product.
Most of the beauty industry is so full of lies and deceit with fancy ingredient decks and , fancy labels that Women( including myself) fall for it as we want to stay looking younger.... Products that do not work... have no proof or approval for the ingredients as far as safety and no regulation either.
It is all deception and just big business. The beauty industry's brain washing our society about the importance of not aging or looking your age. If you are not beautiful and young, you are not important.... so they dangle that carrot out infront of our faces...... and say" So use this to remain relevent and beautiful"..... and most women fall for it everytime.

I wish I had stocked up on Josie Maran body butter as I've read about a dozen reviews the formula changed in the 19 oz. I tried it, thinking it was the strong perfume scented Vanilla Almond that was different, but read other scents are now too. Some batches have a weak scent on top of that. It's not as moisturizing now, so my favorite is gone. I would have ordered the One Time Only last night, but don't want cheap body butter that's ever priced. I'll try to find any older favorite scents through reliable Amazon sellers, or find a great lotion at a drugstore.

I wish I wouldn't allow the advertisements, etc. to get in my head! I get convinced that this product, or that product, will simply be the one! Unfortunately, none of them are the "one." At least for me! I really wish I could find my go-to set of cosmetics but at my age, I doubt if it will ever happen. I do love the variety of tons of different lipsticks and glosses but for my makeup -- foundation, powder, etc. --- I just would like to have one complete set that really makes me happy!
As for new and improving things --- I hate this! Usually, the products are not better at all and often have added ingredients that do not agree with me. Plus, usually new and improved means --- higher price!
