Whoa. Those are from Revlon? I think I saw one recently in a blog sale or something. I wanna try them now, they look so cute! Aw
The line was around in the US from 1996 to around 2001. It was Revlons attempt to keep up with brands like Urban Decay and Hard Candy. The line is still available in India, but the colors are much more subdued and none of the original products are still around. The nail polish in Flash was one of my holy grail items....I missss itOriginally Posted by shandimessmer /img/forum/go_quote.gif

Have you tried Nails Inc's Donmar collection? I think it's a pretty close dupe:

I Loved the lipstick when I was in 6th grade, I vaguely remember the nail polish too, I wonder if my mom has some in her stash still. Lol.
Gash lipstick is on sale for $3 on UD's site right now!!Originally Posted by bluelion /img/forum/go_quote.gif
Don't bother if you're looking for the original line. The selection in India doesn't even come close. I do wish Revlon would bring back this line. I loved the lipsticks and the nail polishes. I also really miss the original Urban Decay nail polishes in the taller bottles with the black toppers. They both need to release a vintage/retro collection, stat!. (Even though I don't like to think of things from the 90s as vintage!)
Speaking of Urban Decay, I miss three colors most of all: Metropolitan, Roach, and Gash. I believe they had a nail polish, eyeshadow, lip gunk, and lipstick in each color back then. Metropolitan was this great red-toned purple with glitter. Roach was a metallic brown. Gash was (at the time) the best. red. ever! They were awesome, and I wore the heck out of all three shades when I started college. I still have some old UD lipsticks that I've kept just for nostalgia, though I don't use them anymore. They still make eyeshadow in the color Roach, but it's more satin-y now. While I still love the line, I do miss the grittiness that attracted me to them in the first place. They've come a long way.
I noticed that too! I already have one, purchased at full retail around the time they first came out. Grrr! Don't you hate when that happens? And I guess they're phasing out their lipsticks yet again. The original Gash was more metallic, but the newer one has a better formula. I was a fan of those lipsticks, and really dug the packaging, although they're definitely a pain to store. The little dagger thing makes it impossible to sit straight, but when you put it the other way, it sits straight, but then you have to pull it out to see the color. My favorite red from the '08 lipstick line was Gravity, which was more flattering with my complexion.Originally Posted by Fairest of all /img/forum/go_quote.gif

Is the Love's Rain Scent completely gone. I thought I'd seen it at walmart. I don't really remember how long ago that was. It is a nice scent. I still have the lotion from it.Originally Posted by Bflopolska /img/forum/go_quote.gif
I also miss the original Love's Rain Scent. It is hard to describe--smelled like the backcountry after a heavy storm. And the original Love's Fresh Lemon. They have one out now and it's OK, but lacks the zesty tanginess the original had.
For those of us who loved The Body Shop's Satsuma, there is an Etsy vendor called ForGoodnessGrape who makes a solid Satsuma stick. I ordered one today and look eagerly forward to trying it.
I SO loved these! I still have one in my stash of backups, I'm afraid to open it since they don't make them anymore..so sad they were discontinued.
When did they dc this?! I just bought some at my BS at the end of the summer or so last year!Originally Posted by Lisabette /img/forum/go_quote.gif

I was also heartbroken when The Body Shop discontinued my fav body butter in almond and their vanilla oil perfume, I have a backup of each but wish I had more. I learned if I love something it will surely be discontinued, so I buy backups.
Unfortunately that did not work with a gold Cabot lipgloss, it was so pigmented and was perfect for a center highlight over lipstick. My backup went bad, smelled awful! I've been searching for a replacement ever since.
