Revlon Skinlights Skin Illuminator Discontinued!
Ahhhh!!! I couldn’t believe it. I thought it was just a fluke when I went to a Rite Aid by where I work, and they didn’t have any of the Revlon Skinlights line available. So then, I went to a CVS by my home, and again, the whole line was nowhere to be found in the Revlon section. I was beside myself with panic!
I’ve been using the Revlon skinlights skin illuminator, mixed in with my regular foundation, on and off for years now, and I love the more complete coverage and warm glow it gave me in the winter. I hadn’t looked for it in a while because I wear Bare Minerals in the summer, when my skin tends to have a little more warmness on its own and doesn’t need as much help with the “death warmed over” look my ashen skin tends to get in the harsh winters here in Ohio.
I then thought, well maybe the line is only available in the summer or spring. I know, desperate, right? But no, alas, I got home from CVS and immediately looked it up on Google, and other women were chatting about it in other beauty discussion forums and boards, and many of them swore by it and were disappointed Revlon discontinued the line. I wonder why they stopped making it, because it was consistently sold out of my favorite color, Warm Light (03) everytime I went and looked for it.
I found out from one board that they may still be selling it in some closeout stores, but that post was from late summer in 2006, so I’m not sure if that still holds true. I was lucky enough to find an online Amazon merchant selling the Revlon Skinlights skin illuminator in Warm Light, but they only had a few left. I bought them all. I’m thinking if enough of us write to the company, maybe they’ll bring back this awesome line, or at least the skin illuminator in the better selling colors???
I looked on the Revlon website to see if they offered any explanation and could find none. the closest new product I could find to the skinlights was a new product called Bare It All Lustrous lotion, but I’m loathe to try it since I was so pleased with Skinlights. If anyone has tried this new product, please feel free to comment.
I tried the Bare It All…it’s okay. I feel like it doesn’t give the same coverage and glow as the Skinlights. It’s a shame really.

How in the world does anyone expect us to look as radiant and healthy without our Skinlights? I, too, am still
on a mission to discover what works as good as Skinlights did. I’m milking a 2 year old tube of it to death !! I’m 45,
have nice skin, but love that “red-carpet” luminous look at my cheekbones and forehead( collar bones, too!)
when I apply it alone or mixed in with my foundation.I did try something called “Savage Bronze” moisturizing
lotion that’s sold at Sally Beauty Supply.It’s not micro luminous like Skinlights, but it does the job for now.Keep in
touch, girls–WE MAY NEED TO START A CAMPAIGN TO BRING IT BACK !!!!!

I knows girls seriously! This product is my favorite and I literally cried when I found out it was discontinued! BUT I went to Ebay express and they have lots of this product! I got a package of three (warm light) for 20 bucks! Not bad, huh? So, I hope this helps!

“Stila” is an illuminating tinted skin brightener/moisturizer.And I love it more(or as much) as Skinlights.You can buy it at ULTA Stores. Good luck and lemme know if you like it.I hope your mystery has been solved! Danette Lee, Michigan

WHY? would they ever discontinue this product??? I found another one in RIMMEL, called Face & Body Illuminator, but they discontinued that too!! Grrrr! It’s good to hear feedback about Stila, because it’s not sold in my area (West Coast of Canada)so if I want to try it I’d have to take the plunge and buy it online (and I’m an online purchasing chicken). If anybody organizes to storm Revlon’s gates, count me in!!!
