The Find: A Blast from the Makeup Past

Jan 30, 2025

This January has lasted approximately 1,963 days. No one I know is having a good month. But one bright spot has appeared with a blast from makeup looks past. I know it’s not much, but a woman has to hold onto any joy she can find.

One of the first spendy makeup products I ever bought was Bobbi Brown’s gel eyeliner. When Bobbi left the company, they discontinued the violet shade I had worn for a decade. But now, Bobbi is back with Jones Road and so is the gel eyeliner in black, brown, midnight blue and violet. Cue the Hallelujah Chorus.

I love this product, and clearly others do too, because they already sold out of the angle brush (dupe here). But let me tell you why.

I love a softer liner look than liquid liner can give me, but pencil liners can smudge and smear. With a gel liner and a great brush, you can get a crisp line, a nice winged look and all day wear with no rubbing off or smudging. Plus, I like a darker eye look than brown can give by prefer something softer than black, so the dark purple is perfect. Dark, but not goth. Loves.

In a world where beloved products are so often discontinued, it’s nice to see a favorite return to the shelves. I can’t wait for mine to arrive.

If you have a favorite discontinued product, leave it in the comments so we can reminisce together.
