Yeah, I am almost hysterical, for real! Maybelline has discontinued one of my fave foundations: the MAYBELLINE INSTANT AGE REWIND CREAM FOUNDATION. WHYYYYYYY????!!!! 
At first I wasn't sure if they had discontinued it because it was still advertised on their website, but I kept reading on different websites/blogs that it wasn't going to be available anymore. So I sent them an email. Here's the response I got from them:

I hate that!
You guys know how difficult is to find a good foundation, the right color and the right formula for your skin type with the coverage you desire. This foundation provided all that. It's also frustrating that Maybelline discontinued this product without having an good alternate to replace it, as they state in their email. I sure hope they provide a similar product soon.
I use Honey Beige but I am also looking for Nude and Caramel (they are quite different, I have a yellow undertone but Honey Beige provide just the right+minimal amount of pink. I want Nude and Caramel to mix them and get my perfect shade). If someone knows of a website that sells those shades, let me know. I have found some sites that sells this foundation, just not the ones I need.
Meanwhile, I will still using my other love, Revlon Colorstay. I can get the luminous effect by adding some of my MAC Strobe Lotion to it, but it's not the same "moisturizing", creamy feeling... =(
