Does anyone know what happened to the Lancome company's product of face makeup called

[CTyankee]

"Imanance"? I've used it for years and now am running out. I always got it at a local small department store called Bon Ton. It's gone too.

Maybe women aren't buying makeup we used to call base makeup. What has taken its place if that is so?

1. I did a quick search on line

and it looks like they've discontinued the Imanance line. It seems to be pretty much unavailable anywhere, unless you luck out on E-bay.

I think looking for "foundation," rather than base makeup, will get you what you want. There are still lots of them around, but you have my sympathy in trying to replace something that's worked for you for years.

2. Yes, it's foundation.

Since our BonTon stores are no longer in business around here I think I'll call my dtr in Boston. she still has access to a couple of dept. stores (altho they might be gone, too). I'm thinking about Bloomingdale's. She used to have one near her...

3. The Lancome website is listing it as "Out of Stock",

so it may be a goner. Don't you just hate when companies abandon long-used products without notice?

Have you tried any of the Estee Lauder products? Perhaps you can find an equivalent.

4. I looked up Imanance

The whole name of this stuff is "Imanance Tinted Day Creme SPF 15." So, it's a tinted moisturizer, aka "a very light foundation."

The new "thing" in the lightweight-foundation market is BB cream. Try this:

5. Thanks. I'm trying a new one tomorrow! Hope it is OK.

I really appreciate your doing this. I am behind the times for sure...

6. No problem

There's so many new beauty ideas coming in from Korea these days, it's hard for anyone to keep up.

7. I've been looking forever

for Prescriptives wet powder.

8. Have you also tried looking online?

I had the same problem with the makeup I also used for years, could no longer find it in the stores, so I looked online. Here's what came up with the powder you mentioned:

9. thank you for this info!

[Rhiannon12866]

10. Looks like they not only have a website,

But there was another one with reviews and they seemed to be very positive. Glad that this helped!

[Texasgal]

15. Yes... I have bought from them

but it's not the same.

11. It's rumored that all remaining stock has been hoarded by Rula Lenska

A little joke that I believe CTyankee can appreciate.

I don't know about makeup, but there are companies that specialize in providing reproductions of discontinued perfumes. I got a small bottle of something called Tea Rose that my girlfriend used to use. It had the same smell, but by the time I bought it for her, she no longer cared for the fragrance. Maybe there's something similar for orphaned makeup?

[CTyankee]

12. didn't get the joke, unfortunately...

My dtr in law is a fragrance expert but alas, not make up...

13. I'm shocked!

Way back in the beforetimes, before the internet, Alberto VO5 had an ad featuring a "model" named Rula Lenska. The ads depicted her as the toast of various runways, receiving lush bouquets of flowers, and cheered by adoring audiences. For those of us not in the fashion world, it seemed she was some European glamour girl, and you felt uncultured not knowing who she was, but it was obviously some kind of coup for Alberto to get her as the face of their product.

Rula was not, strictly speaking, a model, but an actress who specialized in playing the last scion of doomed eastern European royalty. I figured a joke of her hoarding the last precious bottles of Imanence would play well, but after taking the time to type out this incredibly long and tedious explanation, I fear the joke has died a-borning.

Rula Lenska continues to work here and there, and if you're bafflingly interested in more about her, she has a website (of course) :

14. I'm hopeless. I googled her and still didn't get it.

Today has been a bad day. I couldn't get anything right and just now I screwed up the answer to final Jeopardy....
