Re: Help I'm Panic Stricken!!!

@LittleT in KC  It's me the OP of the BB post. Sorry I caused a panic. I know how you feel. I find foundation the most difficult to replace. Stock up on a few LG just in case. If...a big if...it is discontinued, you'll have enough until you have time to find something else that pleases you.

@makena  I've seen BB in makeup stores in outlet malls. I wouldn't trust the shelf life of those products. BB is not going out of business. She just stepped down leaving the co. in the hands of Estée Lauder who bought her out many yrs. ago. My concerns are changes in products.

Bobbi Brown's leaving, makeup lines coming a going, etc. All of this has me in a panic over my BRAND that I'm loyal to and don't what I do without!!  OK it's only makeup, but I don't know what I'd do without LG Balance n Brighten, LG bronze and brighten and of course LG blushes!!!  I hope it never goes away.  Even if Laura should decide to step down, maybe she would leave it in the capable hands of Jillian.  Yes, it's only makeup, but I use her entire line.  I love the baked shadows, the eyeliners, everything.  I could find replacements for shadow and liner, but now my three--foundation, bronzer and blush--there's nothing out there that's comparable.  I won't worry for now.   These things just seem to happen with makeup lines almost without warning.

At first, I wasn't sure if you were serious or joking .... surely you realize that QVC isn't the only retail game in town.   You can get most of those products in places like Sephora and Ulta ... not to mention ebay ... stock up.

Re: Help I'm Panic Stricken!!!

Just when I found Bobbi Brown's long wearing eyeshadow sticks that seem better than Mally's.  I hope the formula isn't changed or they are discontinued.  I'm the kiss of death for products that I reallly like.  It happens a lot!!

Re: Help I'm Panic Stricken!!!

Echoing the advice you've gotten, stock up. That's why I now own 3 pairs of Skechers boots, which are the most comfortable things I've put on my feet in years. 

 

But although you might feel you've got your HG products, there are two factors to consider when facinig a possible discontinuation or reformulation. One, that you change. As you age, your skin tone and texture may change, so a foundation that worked before may no longer suit you. You may need more moisture, a different primer, and especially a different color. Most of us need a lighter palette as we get older. Plus fashions change. The monster eyebrows of today will give way to something more natural soon, for example.

 

The other thing to consider is the world is full of companies that keep making new products and trying to improve old ones. Searching for replacements may yield new HGs. If I'd never misplaced my stash of Maybelline Cool Effects shadows, I'd never have discovered the perfect shade in an Urban Decay pencil.

 

Good luck in finding what you need, whether it's more of what you love or something brand new.

What am I missing?  QVC isn't the only place to purchase it, Bobbi Brown makeup is available other places.  And chances are she'll end up at HSN or Evine.

Re: Help I'm Panic Stricken!!!

I too suggest you stock up.  And maybe, like RedConvertibleGirl said, she might show up on another network.  At least if you stock up when you can, you will have more time to search for something that might work as well as BB does for you now.  Best of Luck!
