Clinique gentle light make up being discontinued?

Citygirl1

I have just heard this may be being discontinued again after it being taken off the shelves a couple of years ago and being brought back due to high demand. Anyone know if its true?

nooooooooooooooooooooo i certainly hope not!

Hi, its still in the stores, I just read it on a website somewhere but they did bring it back before after huge demand so I can't see them discontinuing it again. Do you like it too?

i have emailed them from the clinique website so just awaiting a response otherwise its stocking up time!

Hi, not so good news I'm afraid. I asked at the Clinique counter in our Boots today about this and the assistant feels it may be discontinued because its a slow seller and they are not being sent new stock of it. I asked which foundation is similar as a replacement and she said the Supermoisture. I might just go back to No7 tinted moisturiser as that never seems to get discontinued and it is good.

Just found this out yesterday when i went to buy more Gentle Light Foundation:eek: GRRRRR. They did this a few years ago too, i have never found another foundation i like as much:( Bought the supermoisture yesterday, not tried it yet.

Apparently it was discontinued as it is a slow seller in America, lady at the counter said they prefer a more matte look in the states.

Hi, its such a pain when they do this. I cant find an alternative. Can you let me know what the supermoisture one is like.

Will do, i'll try it out tomorrow.

I've tried loads of alternatives and can't find one i like. Really hoping i like the supermoisture as this could turn into an expensive hunt!

I find Photoready ok, but not great. I also have Estee Lauder doublewear light and it is ok, not my first choice. Will see what the supermoisture one is like, then will have a look at Bobbi Brown.

Lady on the Clinique counter yesterday suggested mixing your foundation with illuminator to get the look of the gentle light foundation.
