Discontinued Hall of Fame: Revlon Royal

This shade was from Revlon's Top Speed Fast Dry collection and I'm sorry to see it go. Cobalt blue shades with a jelly finish are pretty hard to come by—in fact, this is the only one I know of!

Fortunately it's still available on Amazon, and although I wasn't able to find it at Ulta or any of my favorite drugstore chains (CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreens and Target) I did find a bottle at Bed, Bath and Beyond. Also try Big Lots or your local dollar store.

Discontinued Hall of Fame: Maybelline Wet Shine

Before Maybelline's current lipstick/lipgloss hybrid (Color Sensational), there was Wet Shine. The lipsticks were sheer and glossy with a brilliant color selection. The nail colors were fun, youthful and funky. Both the lip and nail palettes had amped-up versions in the Wet Shine Diamonds line, and the seasonal colors were divine. Maybelline deserves a lashing for discontinuing this great collection.

I was especially fond of the lipstick shade Berry Wet, but as you can see from this picture of my remaining stockpile, I had other favorites as well.

Discontinued Hall of Fame: Revlon Shine Control Mattifying Foundation

It's been well over five years since Revlon discontinued this gem. My sister and I stockpiled it as if it were liquid gold, and we've never found a replacement. It had a thin, liquid texture that applied like a dream and didn't dry too quickly to blend. Once applied, it stayed put and controlled shine all day. Not to mention it was fragrance-free and ridiculously cheap (about $7). What was Revlon thinking!?

Discontinued Hall of Fame: Caboodles Eye Shadow in Smooth

Caboodles' short-lived makeup line included this gem of an eye shadow. Smooth was an affordable dupe of Shu Uemura's legendary (and pricey) shade ME Silver 945 which, by an unfortunate coincidence, is also discontinued.

Discontinued Hall of Fame: Jane Eye Shadows in Twilight Zone and Magical Mushroom

Jane Cosmetics has survived three owners including Estee Lauder and Sassaby. Each change of ownership involved a major revamping. Many of the line's cult favorites have fallen by the wayside, including these two shades of eye shadow.  Twilight Zone was a dark green with an olive-gold shimmer.  Magical Mushroom was a shimmery golden brown with a touch of olive.
