Products That You Miss That Are No Longer Made

[ Edited ]

Going off of the "Foods That You Miss That Are No Longer Made" thread, I was wondering if there are products that you miss that aren't around anymore.

 

 

It don't have to be a Q product, it can be anything.

 

 

For me, I miss Mink shampoo and conditioner.

 

 

I loved the scent of the products.

 

 

Their slogan was "Made with REAL mink oil!", which is probably why it was discontinued.

What are some items from yesteryear that you wish was still around?

FLEX shampoo and conditioner !  Once years back we were driving through this out of the way town and I stopped in the variety / drugstore combo and bought all the bottles that they had.

 

Once when we had company at the mountain place, the wife came running down the stairs:  “ Where did you get this FLEX.....I can’t find it for a long time ! “.  Gave her the bottle since I had more at home. !!!!!

We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.

A fragrance that the Q carried many years ago, called Princess Elizabeth, & Every Last Lash mascara by Helena Rubenstein.

The Herbal Essence shampoo from the 70s.

The scent was truly herbal. I'd buy a bottle just to sniff!

 

The Bare Escentuals line of body lotions from the 90s. 

Great scents. Great moisturizing.

You can purchase FLEX products on Amazon.  Doesn’t get great reviews.

Mmmm, krummetts wrapped in waxed paper from my very childhood time at Gentile's Market. Oh those were very good.

Max Factor 2000 Calorie mascara.  That was the best.

Sudden Beauty facial mask by Ponds. Like a real vacuum for your face. Also a gel face wash w/botanicals in it by Adrian Arpel (when she had her salons ).
