Gone For Good: Clinique Almost Makeup with SPF 15

Nothing can be more disappointing than when a company discontinues a product you love.

My case and point: Clinique deciding to discontinue their Almost Makeup with SPF 15 foundation.

Last summer I went to the Clinique counter and got color matched for one of their foundations. At the time, I was using their 3-Step skin-care system and wanted a foundation that would cooperate with it and not compete with it (lookin at you, NARS Sheer Glow). They gave me Almost Makeup - and I was hooked. I bought a tube on the spot and within a couple of months, I was on to my second tube.

Unfortunately for me, the tube I currently have is nearing the end of its life and I cannot re-purchase. So, last night I spent some time hunting for a new Clinique foundation to try out in place of the Almost Makeup. I was cleaning out my bathroom cabinet and came across some Clinique 3-step products that I want to use up, so I want to find a new Clinique foundation to replace the Almost Makeup. I will let you know how I fare out with this quest.

In the meantime, I bid farewell and Rest In Peace to Clinique Almost Makeup - I hardly new ye, and it was to early in our relationship for you to die.

SPECIAL NOTE: From what I can tell, it looks like Clinique is discontinuing a large amount of its foundation; if you use a different Clinique foundation, you may want to check and see if it's one of the items being discontinued.
