Mmmm, Vanilla Honey…
Allow me to start by saying that my life hasn’t quite been the same since St. Ives discontinued their Swiss Vanilla body wash a couple of years ago. I had never loved a body wash as much as I loved the lather of my St. Ives and the yummy vanilla scent of that particular variation. And while I tried to use other scents from St. Ives, it just wasn’t the same.
So, can you imagine my excitement when I found out that Dial just released their new Yogurt Nourishing Body Wash in a Vanilla Honey scent? I was sooo excited! But alas, it just didn’t meet my expectations – well, when it came to the vanilla scent.
Everything else about Dial Yogurt Nourishing Body Wash is divine. It lathers well, a little goes a long way and it cleanses so well! If it smelled as delicious as my St. Ives it would be a total winner in my book!
The hunt for my perfect vanilla-scented body wash continues, but for now Dial’s Vanilla Honey will do. 
Have you ever had a product you loved so much become discontinued? Tell me about it; I’ll be a shoulder for you to lean on during this very difficult time. Or, if you found an amazing replacement, tell me about it so we can rejoice together!

Are you sure that the St. Ives discontinued Swiss Vanilla? I just bought two bottles of it Saturday night – 2/$3.29 at Walgreens. You may just want to search a round for a bit at different drug stores, as some carry different items. Maybe another Walgreens in your area. This particular Walgreens is crazy, though – it still has Milani eyeshadow singles, which are beyond hard to find, so maybe it’s just lucky? Or, St. Ives may be phasing the swiss vanilla out here and that’s why it’s 2/$3.29? Don’t know!

I am not sure if a perfume can be included, I’ve loved Elizabeth Arden True Love perfume so much and when I learned it was discountinued just less than 5 yrs I think, I was like hunting it like crazy and you know where I finally found it? Bonjour stores in Hong Kong! hehehe I bought the last 2 bottles!
I hope it’s true that the Dial is not discontinued, and girl! If you found it…STOCK UP!

Hi Pquanda,
Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a comment! You’ve given me hope that my Swiss Vanilla is still out there. Although I’ve searched high and low here – at Target, Rite-Aid, Walgreen’s, even at the grocery store with no luck at all.
When I was writing this post, I looked on Amazon.com and it was unavailable there too! I’ll keep looking since you were able to get 2 bottles! But at 2/$3.29, it does appear that they are being phased out
Hope you’re having a wonderful Friday!

Wowser Nikki – you found your favorite perfume in HK?! How far is that from the Philippines? Nonetheless, how exciting that you got 2 bottles. Lemme tell you, even just one bottle of perfume has lasted me years! Hopefully that will buy you some time to find a new favorite.
And believe you me, if my St. Ives still exists anywhere, I’m getting it!!

Hi beautytalk –
They do?! Hmm… I guess I’ll be using the rest of that Vanilla Honey.
How’s your Friday? Got any fun plans this weekend?

In what has to be the most pointless beauty desciscions ever, they discontinued Pout’s makeup line.
Rimmel used to have the perfect pink lipstick called “Azteque”, but DC’ed it when they reformulated.
Also, it was an LE not a DC, but Guerlain needs to bring back it’s Versaille inspired Holiday 2006 line. It was some of the most beautiful packaging I’ve ever seen!

Aww Mandy,
I know you love Pout and it blows when they discontinue an entire line like that – I hope you’re stocking up on everything you can via ebay and such!! And if I come across any good Pout products, I’ll be sure to let you know

Hi Danielle,
Thanks so much for stopping by! If you like vanilla-scented products, definitely give this one a try. It’s not sugary sweet smelling and leaves a nice lingering vanilla scent when you get out of the shower
