BuyMeBeauty's Top 7 Best-sellers from the past

1

1970's

Maybelline Expert Eyes Twin Brow & Eyes in Charcoal

Possibly one of Maybelline's most popular pencils, this little guy has been around since the early 70's and it's still around – somewhat. The formula is very long-lasting for a non-waterproof pencil and some might say its simplicity is its charm.

BuyMeBeauty has 4 different shades in stock, but Charcoal used to be our most popular shade. Customers often told us, even today, how much they loved this Charcoal color – how true to pigment it was and how versatile the pencil is. Charcoal is now discontinued and might have been replaced by Velvet Black. We miss it too ladies!

Revlon Eterna 27 6 oz

This mega popular Revlon cream, true to its name, has been around for quite sometime and it doesn't look like it'll go away anytime soon. Its intense moisturizing formula with Progenitin is a fan-favorite. Especially formulated to be used at night, this cream will make you feel like a million dollars the next morning. Your skin will be glowing and feel smooth, looking decades younger. Eterna 27 is Revlon's best well-kept secret. Sometimes you can find it online and sometimes you can't.

However, the Eterna 27 jar you can only find its smaller 2 oz version. A long time ago, possibly early 80's, they released a 6 Oz version that drew people to purchase in masses. Mostly because it was similarly priced to its smaller counterpart.

BuyMeBeauty used to have it in stock and it was a top-selling item for many years. Today, this jar is almost impossible to find and if you're lucky enough to find it, it's got a crazy expensive price on it.

Come on Revlon, we know you have more of those 6 Oz jars!

Revlon Skin Lights Face Illuminator

This Revlon illuminator isn't 100% discontinued, but this specific packaging (as pictured) is. The formula has gone through drastic changes as well. It started out as a lotion for all skin tones, part of the Skinlights collection. Revlon released a couple of different versions, like the Candle Light Lotion which had a golden tube.

The product was later packed in a completely different packaging with a new collection name, Photoready Skinlights. And they did away with the "Lotion" part as the formula became creamier.

The original packaging somehow had more product in it and came with a freebie for lips.

Fun Fact: The Skinlights lotion also came in stick form. This version is highly priced on the Internet.

MaxFactor Pan Cake Makeup

2000's

Maybelline Brow Styling Gel

This gel is a true mystery. It's hard to pinpoint the exact date Maybelline came out with it but we're sure they have discontinued it completely now. The one in the picture is actually a more recent version –we think it came out late 2008– and possibly the predecessor of Brow Drama. BuyMeBeauty used to have three different colors in stock and customers often gave it great reviews.

Prior to color brow gels, Maybelline had a clear gel that was just that, a styling gel for unruly brow hair. It didn't fill nor color, it just kept everything tidy and in place.

MaxFactor Pan Stik Foundation

We already learned a little about MaxFactor's story from the previously mentioned item on this list, but we haven't talked about what made these products land on our Top 7.

MaxFactor's products have always had a unique high quality to them without being overly priced. When BuyMeBeauty used to have MaxFactor's products, customers would often tell us about how smooth and clean the makeup would set – regardless of their skin type. 

The packaging of both the Pan Cake and Pan Stik hasn't changed much over the years, but MaxFactor's logo has been giving the packaging a new look without actually doing much – less production costs.

Fun Fact: The reason why MaxFactor was discontinued in the U.S. was because Procter & Gamble – the company that owns the brand – wanted to focus their marketing efforts on their other brand, CoverGirl.
