I will SCREAM if they do. I don't use much Covergirl at all, but the
few things I do like of theirs they inevitably discontinue on me!
ARRGH.

I'm out of my Aquasmooth in "soft honey" which is the perfect color
when I've got self tanner on, and I can't find it in any store! I
notice that the Aquasmooth colors they've got on offer are getting
smaller and smaller, with only a few colors for sale. This is always a
clear sign that a product is getting discontinued. I've tried
BuyMeBeauty, which sells some discontinued stuff, but they are out of
it too, and drugstore.com does not sell any Aquasmooth.

Any other suggestions?

Or failing that, what foundation is close to Aquasmooth? I've tried
Armani, Chanel (all the different foundations), Lancome, NARS,
PRESCRIPTIVES, and Estee Lauder. None are as good as the Covergirl!
(I know, I can't believe it either). I use BE mineral foundation
when my skin is more moisturized, but it's been feeling very dry lately
and the Aquasmooth has been perfect.

Here's what I like about it: Colors are perfect match for me, Buff
Beige in winter, Soft HOney in summer

The coverage is perfect -- not too sheer, covers all my little flaws
but does not look like I have foundation on -- it seeps right into my
skin.

NEVER breaks me out, unlike other foundations.

Moisurizes without leaving me looking oily, like the Chanel Vitalumiere
and Estee Lauder.

HALP!

I saw these in my supsermkt and bought one - I have to agree - liked
the way it handled and the lasting power is significant. There were
quite a few on the display - I didn't get the impression it's on its
way out.

I hope it's not discontinued - in winter Buff Beige is my shade, too.
Some other creme to powder type foundations that I really like right
now and which are not too dissimilar from Aquasmooth are Clinique city
base (very natural looking, easy to control coverage, not too drying)
and Shiseido's creme to powder (sorry don't remember name -got it in
Sephora; it's the one that they sell with refillable compact). The
Shiseido lasts all day better than any other I've tried. Both of these
are a little more sheer than Aquasmooth, and they look a lot darker in
the compact than they actually look on your face - experiment with
colors. Both are available in Sephora.

Bought a second one today in KMart where the stock looked pretty well
beefed up-- now have two in diff. beiges for more blending options --
no breakouts - am very pleased and thanks again.

Spoke to covergirl customer service. Aquasmooth compact foundation has not been discontinued. Only certain shades are no longer available. The basic shades remain. Ivory, classic ivory, natural ivory, creamy natural, buff beige, nude beige and natural beige

Please bring back covergirl aquasmooth foundation in soft honey!!! It's all I have used for years it's all that will cover my scars from Lupus I am so deviated to be almost out I am panicking. I have paid $30 for a couple a piece!! I fear I won't be going out in public because I won't go without this makeup. Please bring it back the others are too light and I look dead.
