    What colour are you looking for? There is a stall on my local market which sells discontinued makeup-I have no idea if they have this but I am going into town tomorrow and could have a look for you.I managed to get my favourite lipstick and nail varnish which I had been without for almost 2 years-soe of it is residing in a sealed bag in my fridge in an attempt to keep it going whilst I use the open ones! I will check back before leaving to see if you've seen my q.
    Tomorrow is always fresh, with no mistakes in it!

    Smoky grey preferably. Black is a bit harsh for me. Or a darkish brown.

    Thank you for looking!

    Hi Jeannie,just got back-sorry but they only had an almay lipliner in the most hideous colour I have ever seen-no eyeliner pencils at all :(
    It's such a nuisance when they stop making or change a favourite product- I was so pleased to be able to get my fave discontinued maybelline nail polish a while back as it's the perfect colour for my toes and nothing else ever looks the same!

    just saw that lancome has a kajal pencil that can be used on the waterline. Its there
    on the boots website.
    Has anybody used it ? If so is it any good ?

    Am thicko - what does kajal mean?

    Straight forward eyeliner pencils generally scratch my lids - and not good for the wrinkled, puckered bits... :o The Almay one glided.. blast them..

    Probably not be silky enough for my lids then. I don't like liquid liners either - need something in between... :o

    My sister's still not been to Poundland - I will definitely have to sack her - one day.. :D

  • Great thread, as I too have been exploring to see if I could find any old stock anywhere - I have aging, crepey and sensitive eyelids, and I have used that particular propelling Almay pencil for donkey's years. How dare they just disappear!! Don't they realise the angst we baby boomers are now going through!! I think it is a conspiracy to get us to keep paying out to try different brands - none of which are like our dear old Almay, soft, kind and non-itchy. Sisters, it is time to rise up against the hegemony that has lost us our eyeliners- they must be somewhere! Mobilise your friends (jeannieblue - your use of relatives is exemplary) to search out these pesky pencils - I have a daughter in Chicago and I have her brought into the team - to no avail at this time as so far she can only find the 16hour jobbys in Walmart- but I am teeing her up to extend her search and will keep you posted.
