So if you could have any product return from the dead... or discontinued, what would it be? Over the years there are quite a few products that I have grown attached to, and then when I ran out I realized they were gone forever. I will list my top three disappointments in the product world.
1. Bath & Body Works - May Bouquet Line - ahhh the smell of 8th grade. Possibly one of the
best scents I've experienced in my whole life. May Bouquet was one of those featured "seasonal" scents in the 1997-1998 era that I just couldn't get enough of. In fact I stocked up so I would have a supply each subsequent spring (pretty much until college). They sold it for a couple years and then of course, discontinued it even though it was one of the most magical floral scents ever created. Just a soft, sweet scent reminiscent of a flower shop; it left such a freshness on the skin. I have to admit I still have a bottle of the lotion (seen here) but I'm not so sure it's still good since it was likely produced 12 years ago. But it's so near and dear to my heart that I just have to keep a bottle around, if for nothing else, to remember those carefree spring days at Cloverleaf Jr. High School.
2. John Frieda - Beach Blonde Kelp Help Conditioning Masque - The scent of this stuff was
unbelievable. They captured the EXACT scent of the beach in a bottle. Salty, a little suncreeny and the fresh smell of surf - it covered it all. And it made your hair extra smooth and silky after use. When I decided to go back to my roots, literally, and went back to brunette (from the highlighted days of my youth), I was wondering if I could still use Beach Blonde. I ultimately determined it was worth the risk. So sad it's not available anymore. 3. Peter Thomas Roth - Botanical Buffing Beads Body Wash - Well guys, it has been confirmed. It's selling out at Sephora's everywhere and they're not replacing them on the shelves. Store associates have also relayed the sad news that this product is being discontinued. As Susan noted, it's funny that the bottle still says "New!" So snag it up while you can, before this product, too, will rest in peace.
