14 Discontinued Urban Decay Products We Want the Brand to Bring Back

Lip Gunk was my first Urban Decay product. Thus, it has a special place in my heart and will forever be my favorite item (with the Face Cases on the next slide coming in at a close second). Each color featured a different delectable scent and a pleasantly sweet taste. Even better, the formulas were intensely pigmented! I found myself collecting shades that looked terrible on me — like that bronze shade there — just because they smelled so tasty.

Please note that both the tiny lipstick compact and the gloss arsenal are completely unused — I found them too pretty as is to touch! I have nearly all of the Face Cases (upper left) that Urban Decay produced but didn't want to risk harming them in transit, so "Bad Girl" is the only one shown. In eighth grade, I wore that teal eye shadow with abandon (and a matching polo shirt).

Thankfully, Urban Decay hasn't discontinued its wonderfully pigmented shadows, but I wanted to share all the brand's iterations of its packaging with you. The top center product is the original shadow cap from 20 years ago (inspired by a subway token), and the lower right one is what they look like today. Pretty sweet upgrade!

Urban Decay sold strobing products before strobing even existed. I bought this chubby highlighting stick on eBay. In case you can't track down your own, know that it's very similar to Nars The Multiple in Copacabana ($39).

I was a late bloomer when it came to the relationship front and thus had no business owning a scented, flavored body shimmer in my midteen years. Regardless, I had many of them. I snapped up Cake and Red Hot (a cinnamon flavor) from a magazine internship's beauty closet. I then grabbed Gingersnap, Cocoa, and Peppermint after the product had been discontinued from my local Marshalls. If anyone ever wants to send me their old box of Marshmallow powder (as seen in the movie Mean Girls), please reach out!

These were so cool! It's hard to tell from this image, but one side is a frosty gilded pink and the other is a bronzed rose. Two shades in one tube, so lipstick hoarders could cut down on beauty bag bulk — or have options even when limited to a tiny clutch.

This product was just a balm loaded up with glitter that you could apply anywhere on your body. It was chicer than sparkling body gel and way more portable, too, as the tube is the same size as a Chapstick.

I had to have this because I am a pale brunette from New York City, just like the cartoon immortalized on this tube. It was mentholated and had a sheer, flattering plummy tint. You could also find this product in Miami, Los Angeles, and Chicago variations.

Just like Lip Gunk, this formula was scented and flavored. It's hard to tell, but the tiny tasseled pots are actually miniature versions of the original — they came in a gift set and are each slightly larger than a quarter. The only drawback? They melted easily. I had a tragic accident one afternoon when I left my favorite coconut-flavored shade in a hot car . . .

These are the only cream shadows I've ever truly loved. Cream lived up to its longwear claims and exceeded my wildest expectations. I rocked the shades in sweltering heat on one Summer's day and experienced no creasing or fading, even after 12 hours. I have a theory that this formula was what inspired the iconic Primer Potion — the two products apply and wear similarly.

This ultracooling, plumping gloss was inspired by cocaine (naughty, Urban Decay) and boasted a numbing sensation after application. It also featured a soft pink-beige shade, unusual for lip plumpers from this time frame — most were clear.

I'm fairly certain I never used this set, either, which is why it looks like it was ripped from some kind of beauty museum's shelf. These are the shiniest glosses I've ever tried and were like vinyl for lips. Instead of being flavored, every shade was minty, making your breath ultrafresh. I have a full-size tube of Carney and used it religiously back in the day.
