I can't offer any suggestions as I never wear make-up, but I can offer
empathy. Why is it that our favorite products are always discontinued?
Safeway has stopped carrying two of my favorite flavors of juice
(Ocean Spray Cranberry Peach and Ocean Spray Ruby Red and Tangerine).
They've even stopped carrying cherry-flavored Rolaids! I know I can
live without all those things, or I could buy Tums. But I don't like
Tums any more than I like Internet Explorer--I use Netscape, thank you!

We all have our favorite products and, um, *things*, and it's annoying
when we have to go out of our way to find them, or worse, can't find
them at all.

Don't know if my little rant helped you feel any better, but it helped me!

Carol, remembering that the ancient Greek women used lead-based
make-up--really white skin was worth dying for in those days!
