Gone But Not Forgotten.

el_lipstick Your favorite Estee Lauder lipstick. You go through multiple tubes of it each year. You just finished you last tube. You go to the Estee counter to purchase another. You find out that it is discontinued. Now what?

Instead of going through a custom matching service, you might just possibly be able to locate your favorite, can’t live without item. The Estee Lauder company has a program called Gone But Not Forgotten. All you do is give them a call, and an intense company wide search for your discontinued product will begin.

Our Gone But Not Forgotten team will search high and low for your discontinued product and, if we find it, you may purchase up to six pieces (depending upon availability). Please keep in mind, a search can only be done for products in a participating brand’s regular product line; searches cannot be initiated for seasonal or promotional products.

So which brands participate? Our Gone But Not Forgotten program consists of the following ELC brands: Estée Lauder, Clinique, Origins, Prescriptives, Bobbi Brown, Aramis, MAC, La Mer, Jo Malone, Donna Karan,Tommy Hilfiger, Bumble and bumble, Lab Series for Men, Michael Kors, Darphin, American Beauty, Flirt! grassrootsTM and good skinTM.

The Gone But Not Forgotten program is available to all consumers within the contiguous United States.

To initiate a search for a discontinued product, please call us at (800) 216-7173 between 9am and 4:30pm EST, Monday through Friday.

I am calling tomorrow to see if my favorite Clinique Pink Gold lipstick can be located.

    Why have they discontinued the dark brown brush-on eyebrow? They are calling the brunette a light color. Where can I get the dark brown brush on combo. I will have to find it in another brand.

    I called your 800 number about four months ago. I finally talked with a person and she said she had located 5 tubes of Hot Chili Estee Lauder lipstick. I gave her my credit card number, but never received ANY lipstick. Can you help?

    I am tenaciously seeking your product, Milk Cleansing Grains. It is a fabulous product. I would be so grateful if someone can help me find this product for sale. It is the only cleanser I have found to conquer black heads on my nose. I really miss it. I was out of touch for a few years due to two separate cancer diagnosis’.
    Thank you in advance for looking into this and contacting me with your results.
    Respectfully yours,

    I have tried the 800 number several times over a period of months and the hold times range from about 20 minutes to 50 minutes. I have never gotten through. I emailed Estee Lauder to see if you can order by email because with these hold times you will never get to place an order.

  16. By Vicki Passante

    have tried to contact the 800 number for Gone But Not Forgotten numerous times and the hold times are horrendous and when they tell you that there is a minute hold time, I am still on the line forever. I am looking for the light auburn refill of the Estee automatic brow duo liner. Can someone help. Thanks so much

    I have tried so many fragances and am not happy with any. I decided to go back to my old favorite Estee and now I cant find the lotion or the bath powder. Please direct me as to where I can find them. Thanks

    Hi,
    I’m looking for Estee Lauder Verite Soothing Spray Toner. I know it is discontinued, but I am hoping I can find it somewhere. I have been completely out of it for several months and having a very difficult time finding a replacement. I have sensitive skin, plus adult acne and rosacea. This toner would balance my skin just enough so I would have minimal acne and redness from the rosacea. Everything I have been trying is either too drying, makes my conditions worse and/or makes my acne scarring worse. I use Cetaphil cleansers and moisturizers and Finacea for the rosacea. I am allergic to retinol and sensitive to fragrances and other things. If I am unable to find the Verite toner, I hoping to find a product that has the same or extremenly close to the ingredients of the Verite. Thank you so much for your help.
