The rarest shampoo: Ice Blue - the last of the last

One of the rarities found here at Bill's TN Paradise, is my favorite shampoo, the Body Shop's "Ice Blue Revitalizing Shampoo."

This shampoo has not been in production since the 1990's. It was briefly reissued in '01 but only in limited quantities, and then discontinued shortly afterward. Despite this, I have been able to stock up with Ebay purchases from England, where occasionally, some of this shampoo appears for sale. I haven't seen any for sale for a few years or so now, except small amounts that sellers won't ship to the USA. So, this is it. The last of the last. Fortunately, this is a large size bottle that is 3/4 full. It could last years since I use it sparingly.

Have you ever had a favorite product suddenly discontinued?
It really sucks. Thankfully, I still have a few years supply of my favorite shampoo. The Body Shop company had really made some bad mistakes. I remember some wonderful products they had that have been discontinued, like the Dewberry shampoo and various other products. Fortunately, when there's a will, there is a way, and that way is Ebay.

I loved Dewberry too...

On the note of Ice Blue. You do know that the people who created it for The Body Shop are some of the founders of Lush... And that it is in the Retro Lush section on the UK site right?

On that note... Because you love it I hope you have this set to Auto-Notify because here's the scoop. This week *Feb.25th-Mar.2nd* a whole bunch of people world wide are buying at the same time in an attempt to get a whole plethora of items made from the Retro Section. It looks like Ice Blue has a chance. If you REALLY are an Ice Blue person this might be for you... Because it is so hard to find it.

If you want or need confirmation about the tie between Body Shop and Lush it is all out there on the net.

Hugs,
S
