I tried one from Estée Lauder. But not that one. I'll look into it! So they discontinued the Bisque too?? Wow, that is just crazy!

I don't know if you could possibly figure out your color or go to a Sephora store this weekend, but this might be worth it to try for this price. There is free shipping this weekend.

Oh, I might mention I can find the Workout makeup on EBay. But they want $50 - $70 a tube!! :eek: It was like $22 originally!! :eek:

Hah - I feel your pain, Rhonda! It seems whenever a product really works for me it often ends up being discontinued! (I take that as a clue that maybe I'm stuck in a groove [read rut] and need to change! Have I really been using the product that long?! lol) But, it really is a pain when you have something you like, that works for you and then it's no longer available!

I, like you, have a fair complextion and have always used Clinique and Lauder products. And, like you, I'm also on the (agonizing) hunt for a new foundation; spending $40-$50 on each of my new test runs. After trying Clinique, Lancombe, Lauder... so far I ended up loving the Lauder foundations best.

I've found the Lauder "Double Wear Stay In Place" foundation is great! It's non-oily, lasts all day, has a decent, natural-looking coverage (no looking like you're 'plastered'). It also has an SPF10. That being said, I've still spent lots of extra $$ going through their various shades trying to find the perfect one. Gah!

Anyway, good luck in your search - I just wanted to chime in with a recommendation for Estee Lauder's Double Wear Stay In Place foundation. I hope you find something that you love ... and that it stays around for awhile! :)

Ack! :eek: That seems to be how it goes... I had a spray hair gel that I loved that was discontinued... regularly selling for around $25-$30 ... and I ended up only being able to find it on Amazon for $65! So, I got 3 of them, just so I'd be set for awhile. This was after I'd spent $$ trying different products that just didn't really do it for me (and ended up being useless). Geesh! :rolleyes:

Maybe if you purchase the Workout makeup on eBay, you can justify the cost. I know that when I shopped around and tried tons of new products (that didn't quite cut it), I spent (wasted) WAY more $ than if I'd just bit the bullet and spent the outrageous, inflated cost on the item I actually loved. Just sayin'. I know, not great... but something to think about.

I love love LOVE Laura Mercier silk creme foundation. Full coverage. Lasts ages and makes you stay matte.

Alternately, I like Revlon colorstay for drugstore.

I only wear Bare Minerals myself because of how picky my skin is and I want something that will cover and hid my freckles on my face which I must say is a huge job :p

Yes! The tinted moisturizer is great too!! I'm a big Laura Mercier fan. The "Eye Basics" eye primer is wonderful. I use that with no eye shadow. It makes your eyes brighter & "rounder" I guess is the best way to say it...more awake. The "Secret Camouflage" is the best concealer ever.

As far a foundations go... Estee Lauder Double Wear is my favorite. I've been using that for years. I use the liquid mostly. In the summer, I use the powder foundation a lot. I would def try Estee Lauder. The counter at Bloomie's will give you a small sample in your shade good for about a week, so you can test it out. They have REALLY good promotions too ;)

Rhonda, I just hate it when something gets discontinued that I love.

I have splotty red colored skin, that is dry, and have been using Olay tinted moisturizer for about 5 years. (for me, fair/medium) I actually buy it at Krogers and it costs $23.00. It works amazingly for me and I really think the vitamin e in the stuff is slowing down the aging look. Not sure that would work for you, but just wanted to throw in my 2 cents. :)

For 20 years, I've been using Aveda Dual Powder - it's a powder that can be used dry or wet (I use it dry) - the coverage is just beautiful, natural, and I'd call it medium (but good!) coverage.

Aaaargh! :D Nothing - that's what I've found....:(

Not one single tube hidden anywhere in the depths of darkest Surrey - sorry!

Next time I go into London, I'll have a bit of a poke around there too - in the meantime, I hope you find something that you like....soooo frustrating isn't it?!!? :) Sally x

Thanks for the tip on the BB cream! I put that on my wishlist ;)

Thanks for checking Sally. I appreciate it!

Thanks everyone. I'm going to head to town this weekend and check some of these out. :)
