Cinnamon Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I have just found out that L'Oreal have discontinued the castings semi permanent hair colour shade that I use to cover my greys I HATE it when this happens. I still hold a grudge against John Frieda for stopping the Beach Blonde range with the brilliant 'Ocean Waves' spray. It sells for £30 a bottle on eBay now And I never did get to try the Mamade marmalade kit in lemon either(although there is now an alternative one on Lakeland) Don't get me started on my hunt for the pads & spray for Flash Power Mop either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 @ Flash!! Tis a plot to foil you. I've got platinum blonde highlights. Thing is they are curly and have a life of their own! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squiffs Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I get my Pretzel Flipz fix from Cybercandy They are amazing......... Aye, we have a flagship store in brighton, and then when I was at uni they opened up another in Birmingham so I was always well stocked - then there's the website, which has more than any of the shops ever have on show, but I would bankrupt myself! I also get my exotic pocky and skittle fix from cybercandy. But it being a boutique, niche company means it's for special occasions only now!

Valkyrie Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Nope, but I remember you gave me that link a long time ago for the Wrigleys Big Red cinnamon gum. Shlurp. They also do marshmallow fluff - which is vegetarian and I can't get that in the shops round here now. Was looking on there a few days ago. And you can pick n mix your own Jelly Belly's. It's all tooooo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Oh yes now I remember - extra thin ice! We could only get spearmint or peppermint here. If I'd know they did cinnamon too . . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I miss Salon Selectives hairspray willnotshiftinahurricane that smells of bubblegum. The day I looked on the Lush website to buy Youki Hi bath bombs and found they'd been discontinued was undoubtedly one of the worst of my life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted August 10, 2011 Author Share Posted August 10, 2011 Thats the stuff - it was brilliant. I would love some for my work apron,to pop into my mouth when it gets really dry from smiling at people all day long The only flat coke I remember is the one you used to get in the cinema,in a plastic cup shaped carton,with a plastic lid you had to punch a little straw through. Lush - I miss The Sicilian bath bombs & Ruby Red Slippers bubble bar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yvonne Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I also used the surf spray and recently made my own version with simple boiled water and rock salt - it's too drying for my now long and coloured hair, but I'm sure would be fine on shorter hair. (I suspect if I added a bit of argan oil it would be better) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squiffs Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I miss lush's 'coolaulin' but I think it's been doing stints in the 'retro' section in both the catalogue and the website - so whenever I get around to buying it again, it'll be there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sadietoo Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I miss the Cauldron Beech Smoked Tofu, so much tastier than the bland spongey stuff they do now (even after it's been marinated for hours and hours) Also I've never understood why you can't buy Liptonic iced tea in the UK, only on the continent.

Cinnamon Posted August 10, 2011 Author Share Posted August 10, 2011 While we are on the subject,how come boxes of cereal don't have little prizes in them any more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolly Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Re the cereal prizes, could be an urban myth, but I think they were stopped by 'elf n' safety'.... PS. if anyone knows somewhere that stocks Max Factor Aqualash mascara, please let me know as my stash is running out - thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercedes55 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I miss Bath & Body Works, used to love buying their stuff. I also miss the Tesco's own brand of lipstick that I used to buy in bulk as I loved the colour so much. I think Barbara Daly made their range, maybe she still does, but the colour I loved was discontinued To be honest I never did like the Castings hair colour as it isn't really a semi permanent but tends to build up. I started using it some years ago and started off a nice brunette and ended up with hair that was so dark I had to have it professionally stripped. I now buy the professional stuff from a local hair place and it's so much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 When Lush were Cosmetics to Go (ie when they were really great, IMO) they did an amazing strawberry and ginger back mask. It was one of their fresh ones which you had to use quickly, but it smelt amazing and felt really nice. Whilst on this subject, what is it with ladyshavers all being battery or rechargeable? My mains operated one has died *sobs* and I want a replacement but can I get one? Can I heck! I wouldn't mind one you can recharge and use it plugged in, but I'd forget to plug it in if it was recharge only Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
