Rimmel Powder Blush in 012 Coral Rose (Discontinued)

Rimmel Powder Blush in 012 Coral Rose - eBay - £2.99

Ever find a product you really love, then when you go back to repurchase, you come to find that it has been discontinued? Well, thats what happened after I finished my first pan of Rimmel Powder Blush in 012 Coral Rose a few years back after stumbling across it while "food shopping" in Asda. I went back to the same place to buy it again, but to my surprise it was no where to be seen. 'Sold out?' I thought, but when I visited other places that stocked Rimmel, the story was the same.


I did give in and try one of their other shades at one point, but it didn't compare to my beloved Coral Rose. It's a beautiful peachy coral shade with a lovely sheen to it that looks gorgeous on the skin - like a blush and highlight in one.


My friend and I were talking about how much we used to love it and how annoyed we were that it had been discontinued. I suddenly thought 'Could it be on eBay?!', as I know a lot of discontinued make-up products can be found on there. Surprise surprise, it was there, and at £2.99 I clicked 'Buy Now' immediately!

I was really chuffed that I found one of my favourite blushes again, I really recommend a look on eBay if you're partial to a coral or peach blush!

Is there a product that you love that has been discontinued? 
I'd love to know!

  1. Don't you just hate it when companies discontinue products without enough notice. I have recently been a victim too!! So annoying. Good post, the blush looks lovely, a lighter more wearable version of Orgasm would you say? Might have to get it :)

    1. I know! It's so frustrating! It's beautiful and a nice comparison to Orgasm actually - though this one is more peach toned I think! Worth a go it's such a lovely, cheap blusher xx
