Discontinued makeup product, I still think about ✨

8/11 Edited to

... Read moreAs someone who has always been passionate about unique makeup products, I can totally relate to the feeling of missing a discontinued item like the Glisten Cosmetics Tubby Custard Highlighter. This highlighter was more than just a product—it offered a distinct icy pink tint that effortlessly created a dewy, glass-skin finish that many other highlighters struggle to replicate. While the market is flooded with numerous highlighters, few manage to combine subtle shimmer with a natural, ethereal glow like this one did. When I first used Tubby Custard, I was struck by how it complemented every skin tone I tried it on. Its formula was creamy yet lightweight, blending seamlessly for a radiant sheen without looking glittery or over the top. This quality truly set it apart from many other highlighters that can appear chalky or overly sparkly when applied. Since it was discontinued, I've experimented with similar products, but none deliver quite the same icy pink glass skin effect. This speaks to the product's uniqueness and the thoughtful formulation that met the growing trend for natural, glowing skin. Many influencers and makeup enthusiasts online have expressed similar sentiments, often tagging their posts with #discontinuedmakeup and #beautyfinds, which highlights the community’s shared appreciation. For those who loved Tubby Custard, I recommend exploring mixing your favorite cream highlighter with a soft pink hue or layering a sheer pink shimmer over your base to mimic that signature look. Additionally, investing in quality hydration prep before highlighting can enhance that coveted glass-skin finish. The nostalgia around discontinued beauty products like this reminds us how certain formulas create lasting impressions. It’s a testament to the fact that innovation in makeup isn’t just about new launches but also about products that become iconic, remembered, and deeply missed by users long after they vanish from shelves.

expired makeup, real or just a suggestion?
I’m may be putting myself out there by saying I use expired makeup BUT Is the expiration date on makeup actually real, or really just a suggestion? I know I can’t be the only one. I have never thrown out a makeup item because of an expiration date only if I ran out or didn’t like the product.
