    The Bobbi Brown Chocolates palette from two years ago. I haven’t used mine up completely, but I’m going easy on it – it’s the most perfect set of neutral eyeshadows and brownie-pink lip colors to ever be set forth on a cosmetics counter! But the colors are fairly dupe-able, thankfully.

    • Jennifer says:

      Oh, and also this amazing rainbow-opal-shimmer-but-clear lipgloss from Skinmarket, called Bellyache. I had a tube in middle school, and it was the most amazing stuff ever. I’ve never managed to find anything that comes remotely close, and would *kill* to get my hands on another little bottle of that magical potion!

      • Nicole15 says:

        OMG – Skinmarket!! That place was so great. I could spend hours perusing every item, shelf, etc. I had these eye glitters from there that I loved!! Have never found colors like them anywhere.

    I really miss the Tarte pressed powder blushes. I only managed to get one – Verve – and I love it. Unfortunatey, I haven’t been able to find a good dupe. I will probably cry when it’s gone.

  3. I think MAC Emote? If it is discontinued.

  4. Erica says:

    MAC N Collection!

  5. i really really miss the eye primer max factor made they still have one but not like they use to,also wet n wild lipstick #549 was the absolute perfect red lipstick! they also did this amazing violet eyeshadow palette which i’ve yet to find any colors out there w/ that matte yet very subtle shimmer to it you did’nt have to overapply it for it to stay! and i had a big eyehadow shimmer palette in like midnight blues and grays i forgot who made it but it was expensive stuff from either japan or china and i think it had a moon symbol on it too! if anyone knows what i am talking about please post to me! because i’ve been looking for that 4 like 8 yrs now!

    There’s no discontinued product I miss, I have way too much stuff for that. :) I got a few backups of lipsticks that I used to love back in the days when I only owned 10 lipsticks, but now I have nearer 100, so don’t think I’ll ever run out of any of them. :) Same with eyeshadows, blushes, etc.

    • Natalie says:

      Me too!! I am the exactly the same. I also keep my eyes on ‘the items that are being discontinued’ list. Recently I bought whole lot of MAC matte2 shadows, because I heard they are being dc’d.

    • Macaddict says:

      Same here! :P I have so many products that I could open my own store I swear! Plus, with all the newer collections continually “hitting” us, it’s easier to get excited over the newer stuff than to cry over older stuff… For me anyways.

  7. sprut says:

    Clinique liquid lipsticks in rasberry sorbet and sweet cherry. Absolutely loved those!

  8. Miri says:

    I wish MAC would add Mattene lipsticks to their regular collection. The texture is great. I also miss the old Revlon Colorstay formula. It didn’t break me out.

  9. Arianna says:

    MAC 3D Glass!!!

    John Frieda Beach Blonde Ocean Waves Spray! They need to bring this back, the substitute they came out with does NOT have the same results, It leaves my hair feeling more stiff and tacky. BB Ocean Waves was perfect! It really gave you beach waves with lots of movement. I just wish they would bring the original formula back. Has anyone found a better substitute for it?

    • Tania says:

      I couldn’t agree with you more! I have yet to find a dupe.

        Don’t even get me started on that. I haven’t found a suitable replacement that doesn’t turn my hair into a stiff mess…but I guess the Garnier Wonder Waves spray is just OK. Doesn’t have the same smell though…or the same results. UGH.

        And Christine, every time you mention that lipstick, I want to try it out. :)

        • sugarcrumb says:

          I’ve never tried John Frieda stuff (we dont get it here) but a sea salt spray that I’ve tried that works pretty well is the one by John Masters – its sea salt with lavender. Maybe you guys could check that one out? =)

    • ni says:

      oh wow, i completely forgot about this spray but it was definitely the best. Now I really want it again.

    • Rebecca says:

      There is one from Frederic Fekkai (which now comes in a slightly new packaging from the one I bought a few years ago) called ‘Summer Hair Beach Waves’ which is close in smell and product performance. Obviously more expensive but I found it to be really close.

  11. Jenny says:

    i dont have one but the MAC Little VI lipglass is getting discontinued so ill be upset but whenever soemthing discontinues i buy 3 of them at least if i like them!. Ill be buying 5 little VI.

  12. Jay says:

    MAC Pink Grapefruit lipglass. It is my favorite lipglass ever, and I can’t find a really good dupe for it. I tried Utterly Posh dazzleglass and it’s close, but just not the same. =(

    • lesleykat says:

      noooooooooooo! i didn’t realize pink grapefruit was discontinued. it’s my fav as well. i’m super sad faced about that. i got one in a little darlings set at christmas and it’s almost all gone.

      i’ll scour (sp?) the CCOs and see if i can find it.

      • Nicole15 says:

        allcosmeticswholesale.com has the Pink Grapefruit l/g from Neo Sci Fi. Granted it’s $16.99 since it’s DC, which is more than what it retailed for, but if its your fave than its not that much more to pay. I have found a lot of my fave discontinued items on this site & you’ll even find some that are being sold at less than the original price. all depends on popularity of item & demand, but something you might want to check out.

  13. Alissa says:

    The first MAC l/s I ever purchased was BREW…there is a huge difference between BREW and FRESH BREW!! I only bought one tube at the time and I AM HEAD OVER HEELS for this l/s…my heart will SHATTER when its done…And my favorite highlight of all time CLOUDBOUND from the PANDAMONIAM Quad…It reminds me of vanilla pig. but with gold shimmer it is abs. amazing…I have hit pan and I’m sad.

    I MOST FIND DUPES OR MORE OF THESE TWO PRODUCTS!!!!
    :)

  14. Yo says:

    MAC Pinkydee!

  15. Laurie says:

    Mac Bagatelle :(

  16. bi says:

    I missed out on the spiced choco quad but thats what i wish they would re promote :) and the duo but repromote it in msfn in medium plus :)

  17. Patrice says:

    So far, there’s no discontinued product yet that I miss as those products that I used are still available nowadays.

  18. Shereen says:

    MAC Wuss! It was my go-to color.

  19. Cristina says:

    MAC Perfectly Pink Lipglass! Absolutely loved that one. Not too pale looking. Highly pigmented. No shimmer. First tube of lipglass that I’ve ever finished. I’m really more into lipsticks.

  20. cloudburst says:

    Shu Uemura’s ME Silver 945 – I know there’s a new formula, but it ain’t the same. Luckily, after years of trying to swap for one I finally got a backup!

  21. MC says:

    Voile slimshine. There’s still some left in stores but it’s no longer on the website so i feel it’ll be leaving us forever very soon…

  22. Bella says:

    Nars Lipstick in Bambi- My PERFECT nude. There is nothing even close to it out.

  23. Luda says:

    MAC Shimpagne MFS – I still have some but only use it for special occasions – I finally got a back up and it broke – i’m still saving it.

    loreal shine lipctick in 815 – when it was discontinued from the stores I used to get it on ebay – now i can’t find it there either.

  24. Tekoa says:

    MAC Strada blush, the first blush I ever got. When I found out it was disco’d I bought a backup. I’ll be good for a while.

    • Rebecca says:

      Holy crap! I didn’t know this one was discontinued!!! …And I follow the MAC website and stores religiously. I will have to get one from my Pro store; I saw it there just last week. It is my HG contour blush.

  25. Christy says:

    MAC Feline eyeliner! Thank goodness it’s being released again. As well, I backup products whenever I really like once I know I love an item.

  26. littlemissmagic says:

    MAC blush in taupe. i see it referenced everywhere backstage at fashion shows and i want to get my hands on one so badly!

  27. Carmen says:

    MAC Violet Undergound eye kohl :(

  28. KaylaK says:

    Moonglow and Suede eyeshadow from Clinique, oh and First Love lipstick to by Clinique, it was THE perfect shade of pink for me, luckily I have backups lol

  29. heather says:

    Mac lip stains especially pitter patter. Also wish they would bring back the color crystal rose lipglass!!

  30. Andrea says:

    Comet Blue dazzleglass!

  31. inuchan says:

    I miss the Chanel Aqualumière lipstick… I have the #48 Bali… I don’t see those around anymore, and I bought mine almost 3 years ago :)

  32. AT says:

    MAC Spanish Fly Lipstick (Frost).

  33. aradhana says:

    mac nail polish in this red colour…i think it was called ‘rocker’? it was back when they were still in the cubic type bottles…
    could have worn it week after week and never got tired of it…

  34. Leah says:

    Mac’s Mellow Mood lipstick and Gingerroot cremeliner. They went perfectly together and I haven’t been able to find dupes.

  35. Jennifer says:

    MAC Song and Dance Lip glass from the Liza Minneli collection, it’s a bit like lust but more pink. I likes it b/c it was all gloss and no glitter/sparkle.

  36. shontay says:

    Cult of Chy lipglass. It’s a perfect, yummy red gloss. I use mine sparingly for fear of running out.

  37. shontay says:

    ^ I meant cult of cherry. oops.

  38. Sandy says:

    Mattene lipsticks :(

  39. DJ says:

    MAC stiletto lipstick–up the amp is not even close :(
    and I believe there was a shadow called Atlas, a shimmery golden green. I never bought one and I regret it.

  40. Taylor says:

    John Frieda Bleach Blonde Sea Salt Spray

    Lancome Proenza Pink lipstick–I should have bought 2. I’m afraid to use mine!

    MAC Shimpagne MSF–bought it for a friend, totally realized how amazing it was, and I never got a chance to get it. :(

  41. badfish says:

    Lithograph Fluidline, there is no dupe!! I used the whole pot in 3 months and went back to buy more, and found out it was LE. Boooo!

  42. steph says:

    Tango Mattene. Amazing.

  43. Lynn says:

    Mac Shadebenders

  44. Sasha says:

    Nothing really, except for the few LE things from MAC that I really wanted but didn’t get – hopefully I can still find them at CCO/MUA/LJ/eBay! (Lol, you always want what you can’t/don’t have..)

  45. Rebecca says:

    I was in love with the Cult of Cherry collection of lip products so I bought backups of the See Thru stain and Cult of Cherry (red) Lipglass and the red Mattene lipstick…

    My boyfriend put it in perspective a while back for me though when he noticed I bought lots of backups of my favs telling me “Do you want to be like one of those 80′s girls wearing bad blue eye shadow and hideous lipstick when you are older and realize you are using up all the stuff you bought in the 2000′s?” It was a wake up as I realized I was wearing the same colors for many years and made me step outside my comfort zone and try more then pale pink lips and safe ‘blonde’ colors.

  46. Anything from the Mac Lure Bait collection.

  47. AA says:

    MAC Ripe & Rich (I think that’s what it’s called) l/g from cult of cherry. :(

  48. aramis says:

    the spiced quad from cult of cherry never got to it=(

  49. JW says:

    MAC lipglasses of the Cremesheen collection, especially Boy Bait.

    • R says:

      i think the cremesheen glasses are permament but you will have to check the mac website or your mac store/counter

  50. Ruth says:

    Guerlain Divinora Mascara & Divinora Lipsticks

  51. Kerri says:

    I will miss my Mac Chromeglass when it’s gone. I only bought Pinkocrasy and wish I had gotten more colors. It’s so weird to see people on here talking about John Frieda Bleach Blonde Sea Salt Spray. I still have half a bottle sitting under my sink from almost 5 years ago. It didn’t do much for my curly hair but I just loved the smell.

  52. Stacey says:

    The brow shaders (Browning is my HG brow colour… I have 3 though so should be good for a few more years lol), Cranapple and Gingerroot cremestick pearl liners. I bought back ups… but wtf, MAC?!

  53. Rachel says:

    MAC Mattenes. MAC Queen’s Sin lipstick. Apparently they’re also ripping Strada blush away from me as someone mentioned on this posting..so..guess I can add that one too. Why MAC why?

  54. Pamela says:

    The Mac Concealer Palettes! I have had the luck of getting two backups from the CCOs but now those are empty too….SO Sad.

  55. Zee says:

    MAC Pink Fish TLC from the Hello Kitty collection! Love love love it! none of the other tlcs come close! :(

  56. vbie3714 says:

    MAC Moth Brown :(

  57. angie says:

    MAC: lure lipstick, graphic brown fluidliner, & shooting star msf!!
    Urban Decay: i miss their old liquid liner packaging! :(

  58. Paloma says:

    Wet N’ Wild had this lipgloss years ago that came in a clear pot-like container with a screw top. The one I had was in watermelon and it tasted JUST like watermelon. I loved it more than anything. I could never find it after I ran out :(
