Oh no!

There is a lot on Ebay,starts from around £9.99

HumptyThere’s a current thread on Ask a Gran called Retro Beauty Products Anyone?
Aqua Manda has several mentions.

Humptydumpty, I think you can still get Aqua Manda online

I have only once tried powder when very young and it made my skin feel tight and dry and transferred on to collars etc.
If I use make up now it's an all in one which I find more comfortable, but normally I just use a self tan.

Ages. Don't know what agesture is

I'm another Bare Minerals fan and agree that there's a knack to using it for the best effect. Having first purchased it in a large department store, I now get it off QVC, especially when it's on a special offer price. A small pot lasts agesture and gives good coverage.

I've used Corn Silk for years, have just finished my last purchase, had no idea it was going off the shelves.

I have just re-read the OP. I thought you were moaning that it cost £10, but now I see the problem!

Thanks ican the price I gave was the Debenhams one.

Lemongrove, I buy it through eBay for far less and it lasts an age.
Lilyflower, Do you have a link or the name of the article please?

The Bare Minerals range is pricey though,£27 for the pot of loose powder.

There was an article in the 'Daily Mail' (I know!) yesterday about just this topic:- discontinued, beloved cosmetics and scents. They had some really good tips for how to overcome the loss and/or work round it.

HannahLoisLuke - that's good to know. I haven't tried the Mark finishing powder as I don't want a cakey look and powder can sit in your lines and wrinkles. Must get me some!

I could do with one that covers Rosacea redness. I have olive to light tan skin . It's so hard to find .

I use Bare Minerals Powder with the yellow colour correcting Primer. I had the same experience as you, Rosina, when the price of the Primer shot up. It appears that Bare Minerals have stopped producing the Primer and I am so upset. It is the first stuff I have ever worn that has done what I wanted it to.

Just looked on Avon website to order some more of the MagiX HD finishing powder and it appears to have changed its name to Mark. Setting powder at £5.50 on offer.

It's a little cheaper on Ebay, but still expensive.

Hope you find a supply.

A powder made by a company that makes theatre makeup. Try a supplier for amateur theatricals if you have one near you.

Thanks keffie - that's a solution I hadn't though of! I'll certainly have a look at the link.

I've been using Avon MagiX loose powder for a while now. It's white in the box but goes on to match your skin colour/foundation. Apply with a brush, stays fresh all day and costs around a tenner if you look for their offers.
Highly recommended.

Rosina God couldn't be everywhere so he gave be us Google is my stock saying ☺ just had a quick look on Google for you as it sounded like something you could make. Here's the link and enjoy. You will find the ingredients easy to buy from Amazon or Ebay. Go ahead and give making your own a try. I now make alot of my skin creams. Loads of recipes for also on Google

I spent a long time looking for a perfume I loved - 'Fleurs Fraiches" - before I discoverd it had been discontinued

As I believe has been Aqua Manda, a firm favourite from student days (well, it was a long time ago I suppose...)

That happens with shampoos and other hair stuff too - drives me crackers!! I do occasionally find some for sale at more reasonable prices on eBay traders though.

Thanks for all of these recommendations - I bought a box of mineral powder and have tried it for the last couple of days. Someone said I 'looked well' - perhaps it's better than Corn Silk!

I use the My Beautiful Earth. All natural for skin conditions and very good prices .
