Does anyone know if Yardley of London still makes cosmetics? I wore them all time when I was in high school in the '60's. The color range was gorgeous and they felt so good on your skin! Also loved their fragrances: light and sweet, I don't like the strong, musky perfumes they have today. Yardley's web site only has bath products. A mail order source would be fine.

They are still around but not making cosmetics any more. The Dollar Tree near me still sells the soaps and they smell as wonderful as ever but I quit using them because they were so harsh on my skin.

Cant find the makeup! I'm a makeup artist and I have a blusher thats been used so much that its crumbled and I had to transfer it to another container. I love it but cant find another blusher like it. Bring back Yardley makeup!

I too have been looking for a yardley product that I wore in High School. It was the Eye color. It was in a tin box like a watercolor paint set. Pastels, those infamous Blues. All dry and came with a paintbrush. well ok. eyelid brush. You just got a little water on it and viola, beautiful eyes. Yardley is pretty much out of business only offering cologne, some powder and occasionally you can find the Slicker lip color. I would give an arm & a leg for my old tin of dry Yardley eye paint! Whaaa. You would think some one would pick up the torch for us aging beauties!

Hello - found Yardley :-

http://www.yardleylondon.co.uk/

It looks like on the website that the cosmetics are not available on the US version of the site. Use the above link and the website gives a US or UK/WORLDWIDE option.

The UK version only has the pressed powder as far as cosmetics go:-

HOPE THIS IS OF HELP - HAPPY NEW YEAR!

When I left school at 16 (1980) - my first job was in THE YARDLEY BUILDING at Stratford, East London, England. It had a really big painting on the outside wall of a Lavender seller.

I did hear that Yardley had gone into liquidation a while back - whether another company still manufactures in their name I do not know. The only times I see Yardley for sale is in the discount shops - as in End of Line Clearance.
I will have a search for them and post whatever I find.
Kindest Regards - Borasic Lint

I love their oatmeal and the lavendar soaps, which I used in HS too. Found them in the $1 store and bought ALOT. They went into my drawers for sachets. Yummy stuff.

Hi Joan,

In high school in the 60's I loved Yardley mascara! Got to thinking about that maybe a few months back, and I tried Ebay. Found it! To me, it is still the best stuff. Don't know why they stopped importing it back then, but I was so disappointed when they did.

My sister is in London visiting friends, and she promised to bring me back a few tubes :)

Type in Yardley on ebay search, I do remember they had colognes, soaps, etc. maybe your make up too?

good luck
