Customer Reviews of Sally Hansen Cornsilk Shineless Natural Matte Pressed Powder Makeup, No Color, #25-02.
Customer Review: Gone Again...
Summary: 5 Stars
I've placed the same review on every Sally Hansen Cornsilk product I can find on Amazon, because I LOVE this product, HATE that it's discontinued, and want it back...we all need to contact Sally Hansen and demand the product comes back~!
This product was discontinued for a while, somewhere around 2006 or 2007-ish. I've done some considerable reading on other message boards on this product, as well as having contacted Sally Hansen itself. What I learned was that the product had been discontinued back in that '06-'07 time period shortly before Cornsilk's manufacturer, Coty, had acquired Sally Hansen. Once they did that, they decided to move their Cornsilk line over to the Sally Hansen label, and began selling it again, as a Sally product. Longtime users noted that, once the product was sold under the Sally name, the ingredients list changed--the most noteworthy change being that their most touted ingredient, walnut husks, dropped down the ingredients list considerably, and talc, an ingredient which is NOT good in facial powers and which was NEVER listed previously, was now the TOP ingredient. Despite this disappointing change, this new product was nevertheless STILL better than any other facial powder on the market by a mile.
Now it appears the product is discontinued again. Sally no longer makes it. Through my research, I was able to ascertain that Sally decided some time ago to completely discontinue the Cornsilk line, but continued to make the NO COLOR version of the product until supplies ran out. They finally stopped making the product around the end of 2008. So all the Cornsilk you'll find out there now are from businesses that specialize in discontinued make-up, or stores that buy discontinued lots, like Big Lots or the like. This is why the product is now suddenly much harder to find, and a LOT more expensive than it used to be.
Meanwhile...there is NOTHING else like it on the market. I really don't understand why there is SUCH fervor over all the mineral powders that are on the market, like Bare Minerals and Sheer Cover. I've tried a couple of them, and all cake into cracks and crevices TERRIBLY and make the face look MORE aged and completely unnatural...NOTHING like what they seem on TV.
This product is the BEST one out there for absorbing oil, matting shine, and smoothing imperfections like large pores or wrinkles, while looking completely NATURAL on. And I'm SO disappointed at Coty/Sally Hansen for discontinuing this line...and I've written them to let them know what I think about it. They've never promoted the line very well--I've NEVER ONCE seen a tv commercial for this product. But it's a gem.
I hope they reconsider their decision and bring the product back to the market. Maybe if enough consumers protest...on one board that I read, a consumer who had contacted Sally mentioned that the Sally rep was keeping a list of names and numbers of those requesting that the product is reincarnated, and perhaps if enough requests are made, they'll reinstate the product. So anyone who wants this product back should take a moment to contact Sally Hansen at TalkToUs@cotyinc.com or 1-800-953-5080. Perhaps a grass roots effort is what is needed to return this product back to the shelves. I'd let Sally know that if they only MARKETED the darned product, the customers would buy! If you've never used this product before, just give it a try--you'll never go back.
Update 02/23/2011: On the several occasions I tried calling the customer service number for Coty, I got a msg that said their customer service department was unavailable while in training. Interestingly, my various calls were not placed back-to-back, but at random times over the course of a year. They must do a lot of training there.
I wrote customer service once, but got no answer back, and wrote again recently. I finally got a response when I mentioned my reviews here on Amazon, and the considerable response that they were getting. Please see the comments for this review to read the letter sent to me.
