What limited edition item would you like to see repromoted?


What limited edition item would you like to see repromoted? If you can’t pick one, how about top three?

Guerlain Gems! Although, I don’t need more (I have one plus a backup), I think it’s such an awesome coral. MAC Mari-sheeno lipstick (which was an Asia-exclusive).

Thanks to Mariella for today’s question!

Omg the mighty aphrodite blush! I loveloveloved it, I used it daily until my 4 year old nephew completely destroyed it :'( its sold out everywhere & I’m pretty sure MAC isn’t making anymore, ugh I am so upset.

Hi Danielle,

It would probably be a bit more expensive (taxes are a pain), but the Wonder Women collection hasn’t really been released in Europe yet… 😀

Danielle Avatar

i’m seriously considering going out of the US to get another one OR paying twice as much on amazon or ebay (IT WAS THAT PRETTY ON ME) luckily my mom works for an airline so if i really need to then i can go out of the country to find another one

Danielle Avatar

yes, but i called all the stores in NJ and NY and they weren’t sure exactly HOW MUCH they were going to get. I’ve been put on numerous lists to be called once they get a new shipment.

The liquid eyeshadows from last year’s EL Bronze Goddess collection. I have been kicking myself for not picking them up, I would have gotten so much use out of them.

We get a brand in India called “Lakme’. They came out with a collection and had a blush called ‘earth rose trio’. It had swirls of pink, peach and earthy brown…wish that were permanent.

More recently, i have fallen in love with MAC Mehr. I wish it were permanent.

Joyce Avatar

MAC Marine Life (lol that’s never happening). Kat Von D Adora lipstick. I can’t really think of anything else! Although I wish Rock & Republic wasn’t discontinuing their cosmetic line 🙁 luckily I was able to snag some stuff from HauteLook!

Paige Avatar

Chanel Le Vernis in Jade. I wasn’t into Chanel back when they released this item. But after seeing online swatches, I really want the opportunity to buy one!

Shirry Avatar

Not sure it is LE or not, but I hope NARS could bring their Best Palette and Pleasure of Paris Back 🙁
Oh and MAC Ripe Peach. Although already had one, I need a backup 🙂

Ria Avatar

I’d like Nars to bring back the Pleasures of Paris palette back too. I never got to try it and all the colours look amazing. And I want MAC to bring back Mattene lipstick in Flattering, which was one of the few colours which looked good on me straight from the tube.

ashley Avatar

TOTALLY AGREE!!! it’s only been released ONCE (to my knowledge…) and it is sooooooo beautiful!!! i’d also like to see Mothbrown e/s repromoted!

Polly Avatar

You made me wish i would have grabbed that Gems de Guerlain! (need to find one on eBay)

For me, I want MAC Shell Pearl (which I already have one but need a backup), MAC Victorian (to die for), and Shu Uemura Tsumori Chisato palette (too cute).

Well, better look forward to getting new LE, such as Givenchy Acid Summer palette… or just cool permanent stuff like BB rich color lippies 😀

Oi! Beauty stuff is so money-consuming!

anonymous Avatar

bring back the original formula & “all colors” shade of sally hansen spray foundation, worked much better than Dior

maybe UD BOS 1 (better shades than my barely touched AIW)

Laura Mercier Colour Wardrobe from ’09- it was OP but the only compact I’ve ever seen where it had shadows, blushes & lips, & I liked every single shade. And apparently most were exclusive. It went to 20% off but still high for my budget– would have been worth more than a bunch of items it could have replaced and saved space.

oh and I’d like shady lady 1 for ppl who missed it.

kasiaj85 Avatar

My list is long :)) It’s all about MAC :))
Hipness blush, Sweet Sienna pigment, Totally It lipgloss (I only have the holiday mini), Stereo Rose (would make a backup) and the whole Cult of Cherry collecion, whoa! 🙂

Jennifer F Avatar

I’d like to the the MAC MSFs that were similar to Stereo Rose again as I only picked up that one. Also Bite of an Apple blush, I thought about it for ages and then decided against it but wish I’d got it now. Finally Petals and Peacocks, I wasn’t into MAC when this came out so missed it.

MaryBeth Avatar

MAC Instant Chic blush, MAC Innocence, Beware l/s, MAC Myself l/s. I have plenty of each left but I know that once they’re gone I’ll be wishing I still had them.

tracy Avatar

Catherine Avatar

Firespot, stereo Rose, all the Pearlglides. There was this lipstick from a holiday collection a couple of years ago called Real Treasure, and I loved that one. I also hear people talk about Queen’s Sin, and I would definitely love to try that lipstick.

jenn Avatar

MAC’s Naked Honey Hand & Body Lotion. I love it so much! I’m down to my last tube! The Salve from that collection is awesome too, but I still have lots cause I’m a hoarder lol

Sam Avatar

MAC Dazzleglass in Goldyrocks. MAC Lipglass in Hot Frost. MAC Pink Friday Lipstick. MAC Maleficent Mineralize Eyeshadow Duos. MAC Revenge Is Sweet Lipglass. MAC Bite Of An Apple Blush. MAC Sculpt And Shape Duos. MAC Wisteria Eyeshadow. MAC Divine Night Eyeshadow. MAC Young Punk Mineralize Shadow Duo. MAC Lavender Whip Lipstick. MAC Viva Glam Gaga (Original One). MAC Sock Hop Lipglass. MAC Nice To Be Nice Lipglass. And many many more things, but I cannot just pick three!!!! 🙂

Nadia Avatar

It would have to be the MAC 226 brush. I wasn’t following MAC collections too closely at the time this came out so I totally missed it. I’m surprised they haven’t re-promoted it yet. I check every collection that has come out since to see if this is part of it. Still waiting….

Amy P Avatar

Chanel Extrait de Gloss in Confidence — the only limited shade from the launch, and without a doubt the most flattering lip product I’ve ever tried. I would wear it every day if I wasn’t dreading running out!

Amanda Dubs Avatar

Also the Pink Power MSF. Its amazing! I have one but really, if I woul have known how awesome it was I would have shelled out for a backup. Not that I’ll be finishing it anytime soon haha

Lu Avatar

1 – MAC Lightscapade MSF
2 – MAC Stereo Rose MSF (I got mine from In The Groove collection but a lot of people didn´t have a chance to get one, this is sad)
3 – Lancome Chris & Tell lipstick

livnzoe Avatar

hey girls go and check out allcosmeticswholesale.com!!

there you can find a lot of discountinued MAC products and also products from other brands..!!

Marcela Avatar

MAC Queen’s Sin lipstick (deep ruby red with shimmer). Seeing swatches of it here makes me think it’s the ONLY red lipstick i would ever dare wear. it’s beautiful!

Jenna Avatar

Nars Rajasthan eyeshadow duo, All of the Nars holiday palettes, Mac Bite of an Apple blush, Mac Nude Rose lipstick, Mac Grand Entrance eyeshadow, Mac Magnetic Fields eyeshadow (all time favorite eyeshadow, even though I have a backup!), Mac Viva Glam Cyndi lipstick (all time favorite lipstick!), the lipsticks and eyeshadows from Mac Liberty of London!

And you guys really like Mac Lollipop Loving? I found it at a CCO and I abolutely hate it. The green looks gross! Christine, do you wear Lollipop Loving by itself or with another gloss on top to tone down the green duochrome?

Mariella Avatar

Oooh – another Grand Entrance fan! I loved most of the Starflash shadows and don’t understand why they weren’t made permanent as so many loved them, as you can see from posts here! I never got a chance to get NARS Rajasthan b/c Sephora didn’t get that one and I never made it to Toronto to buy it. The whole reason I got BOSIII was for Loaded, which was close to the dark shade of Rajasthan.

Jill Avatar

Most definitely the whole Liberty of London collection for me, namely Ever Hip and the cheek products! Plus the packaging was to die for, for me at least. And Brave New Bronze from Style Warriors!

pearlyn Avatar

mac should come out with a collection called the ultimate LE repromotes, that would make everyone happier than seeing another new collection with about the same stuffs as their permanent. i hope mac sees this! i couldnt manage to get their msfs, petals and peacocks lipstick, ripe peach ombre and lots more. omg. ):

Carrie Ann Avatar

I like that idea. They could repromote all the popular MSFs, things from the Hello Kitty, Venomous Villains, Liberty of London and To the Beach collections and maybe Parrot e/s. 🙂

Brittany Avatar

Honestly, I would love to see Pink Friday repromoted. I was one of those crazy people who stayed up at 11pm (central time) to get one and was successful. Then I went to a bar and left it in the bathroom :/ It was definitely my favorite lipstick.

ak Avatar

I’ve heard of a girl who left a whole Nars palette on the counter in a ladies room, she went into the actual toilet stall, finished, came out and of course the palette was gone! So it could always be worse! And that person was not me, and could NEVER be me, I swear to God!

I’d more than likely only keep the Nars palette at home!

Carrie Ann Avatar

MAC Lollipop Lovin’ and Cute-ster lipsticks, Viva Glam VI SE Lipglass, Tendertones, Slimshines, Suntints, the Hello Kitty blushes and Lancome Chris & Tell lipstick.

Maggie Avatar

Urban Decay Book of Shadows vol. I and II. They were out before I started getting into makeup and I pine for them (but not enough to pay crazy high prices on eBay!). That, and all the MAC Pearlglide liners!

Lindz Avatar

Mac should come out with a line called fan favorites and repromote past products. I want stereo rose to make a comeback. It should be permanent. I also wish I owned lollipop loving lipstick. California dreamin would be nice to own too.

Mariella Avatar

MAC Jardin Aires pigment, without a doubt! I’ve got a little bit left and I’m doling it out like gold dust. Second choice would be Dark Edge eye shadow.

Natalie Avatar

MAC Naked Liner & In Synch lip liners (though they’re slated for repromote with Quite Cute), as MAC really doesn’t have anything like them in the perm. line – which would be another dream for what is LE I’d like to see permanent!

Also, MAC 3N lipstick. It was just so perfect and I just cannot find anything exactly like it, so I’m saving my very last bit…

Donna Avatar

mac Barbie frost eye shadow in magic dust. Loved that color!! Plus I wish I would have purchased the hello kitty mac brushes when they came out. I just can’t justify buying these items on ebay for more than retail value.

Jill Avatar

The Dior Addict glosses that had the navy blue and gold top. They made this purpley-blue shimmer color that was my absolute favorite gloss, and now it’s gone. The new ones just don’t cut it.

ak Avatar

Possibly, maybe the whole MAC N Color collection especially 4N lipstick? Don’t ask me how someone like me did this, but I missed out on the whole ENTIRE N Color collection when it came out. I think I was really broke at the time, but for some reason around this time I totally stayed away from all MAC shops and counters!

Just don’t ask me how! LOL

Shasa Avatar

I agree about the Fan Favorites/Repromote collection idea! I just started getting into MAC in the late summer/fall and I missed out on so many things! I would love to get Joie de Vivre cremeblend blush from the Lillyland collection, MORE TENDERTONES!!! I have two from ACW in hush, hush and pucker!! I am obsessed with them! I think they should come out every summer!! They don’t even need a lot of new colors I just love the formula!!!! Also NARs strawberry fields lipgloss, that color is beautiful! Perfect for my skintone and i love deep pinks. I would love i get no kick eye kohl from the cham pale collection! Lastly I wish they would repromote bite of an apple blush! Looks so beautiful!

Chanel Joues Contraste in Narcisse (ltd edition US- still available in Europe and Asia). Chanel Joues Contraste in Pink Explosion (ltd edition in US- still available in Eurpoe and Asia). Mac Courting Lilac lipstick.

Leticia Avatar

Besides the Pearlglides, I would love to see Femme Fi Eyeshadow and Starflash Eyeshadows (including Smoke and Diamonds…mine got completely broken) repromoted!

There was this great palette by Laura Mercier that was LE on Neiman Marcus called “Mercury Rising Face Paints” It had a couple bronzers, bronzy 3 lipcolors.3 shadows including an aqua– all colors that R great with a suntan, in an awesome orange metallic case. I’ve Bought dozens of palettes since, but it was the best–I kept a hold of it way past its prime with only crumbs of shadow left– (it was released in 2004!! )

ashley Avatar

MAC: pearlglide liners (especially WOLF! i missed out!)… Mothbrown eyeshadow… Sweet Sienna pigment… Brave new Bronze lipstick… and how about bring back the old packaging of the pigments!

WithIt Avatar

1. MAC Rondelle eyeshadow from the Royal Assets smokey eyes pallet. I have yet to find a frosty silver-blue that does it for me like Rondelle. 🙁
2. MAC By Candlelight MSF.

Lorna Avatar

Guerlain Blush G Serie Noire.I can’t find this blush anywhere and I am kicking myself for not getting it sooner.

But it’s surprising how many of the pristine LE items I have in my collection. I am thinking of selling some because with the amount I have I don’t think I will ever use them.

Nadia Avatar

I wish MAC would repromote that one Holiday eyeshadow palette that I absolutely loved. I think it was from 2004 or 2005. Anyhow, it was in a red case and featured the most beautiful smokey eyeshadow colors.

Mariella Avatar

Okay, in my urgency to post my reply, I didn’t realize that Christine had modified the question (knowing that choosing ONE item would be too hard for most of us) and that I could choose 3. So here are my 3 choices:
MAC Jardin Aires pigment (still doling out what remains like it’s made of gold)
Either MAC Dark Edge or Moth Brown eye shadow (missed them both first time but think they’re both shadows I’d absolutely love)
Either MAC Sweet Sienna OR Copperized (Rushmetal) pigment – I’d be happy to see either one reappear

Now, for a totally ancient (as in early 80’s) product – Estee Lauder’s Datenut Red lipstick…my favourite of all time and I’ve never been able to find an exact dupe (I keep an ancient tube of it and carry it around just to check!)

amy Avatar

MAC Power Kohl Eye Liner in Raven. I don’t remember if the following are limited edition or permanent items that were discontinued but the are not part of the MAC lineup anymore: MAC Lustreglass in Palatial and MAC Lipstick in Spanish Fly (Frost). I love those and had them for several years before I used them up and can’t get anymore.

FlutistEmeritus Avatar

MAC Pearglides– second that! But for beautiful women of color, Bronze Hero lustre drops REALLY.. and I mean REALLY needs to come back. Ebay is ridiculous!

Alegna Avatar

Rodarte (M.A.C) That was the only collection I was excited for and actually was going to buy some items. Never been a M.A.C crazed fan because from the looks of things, their pigmentation has went south. That “Jenious” collection is so ugly and swatch horrible. Since so much controversy surrounding that collection it had to be cancelled.

Joanna Avatar

MAC Perfect Topping MSF! Hoping they’ll repromote someday cause I think I’ll run out of this soon 🙁
Also MAC 226 brush because I want a 2nd one.
MAC Pink Fish Tinted Lip Conditioner
MAC Lollipop Loving lipstick!!!

Marianne Avatar

MAC Ripe Peach; I didn’t get it the first time around but wish I did *sigh*

MAC Next to Nothing e/s;
It’s the lightest shade from the Tempting palette and I can’t find anything like it. It’s the perfect all over shade and everything I tried is either too glittery or too pink *bummed**
