MAC Emote and Tendertones!
I know you can get them from CCOs and such but we don’t have CCOs here in Singapore so… yeap.

Mien Avatar

The LE and Discon paintpot/shadestick/CCB colors and Tendertones should all become perm. Also, I’m running out of Volcanic Ash Exfoliator, wich I love!!

Tiffany Avatar

You can get lavender whip at nordstronm.com they have it like every week then it sells out then they have it again you just have to check everyday. I ordered mine from there I think a lot of people for get to check places like that online.

Chanel Joues Contraste blush in Evening Red. It was the most incredible red blush ever. Also, a very old YSL powder blush – no name, it was #28. It was the color of NARS Cactus Flower without the shimmer. It was the most beautiful blush I’ve ever owned.

MAC stereo rose, pleasureflush, and naked you MSFs (think I have all the other ones ever made), volcanic ash exfoliator, and blue memory l/g.

There was a Chanel eyeshadow quad in Fall of ’08 that had the most gorgeous mauvey-purple in it. If they would just bring back that one color, I could die a happy woman. I haven’t found anything like it in the past 10 years. * sigh*

MAC Eyeshadow in Haze: a beautiful duo-chrome lavender/green frost. Got seen since the 1990s, I have one pan that I’m terrified to use in case I hit pan….

MAC Eyeshadow in Parrot: lots of dupes around but none hit the intensity of pigment and blendable texture that this one does.

MAC Lipglass in Hedwig: Long-used, I mix up lipsticks and glosses to try and replicate this shade

The WHOLE Stephane Marais make-up line.

The WHOLE INOUI make-up line.

Stark Naked Beauty Powder Blush (I didn’t even get a chance to buy it!)
Petticoat MSF (I’m such an idiot…I didn’t get it when it was repromoted.)

Look for this at an Estee Lauder Cosmetics Company store at an outlet mall. Go to outbound.com for locations of outlet malls. I got Alpha
Girl at my local Cosmetics Company store.

christine Avatar

sarah I so agree! glad someone remembers summerfete tlc. i have one that is 2/3 gone and i actually have a backup of this amazing shade. Flash of flesh i wish was perm SO BAD. i just look at mine and wish i could use it daily.

Christina Avatar

I have no clue why I missed this one, but the Barbie collection. I even got the mailing from Nordstrom. I guess I just never went.

Saira Avatar

Mac Velvet Moss (been discontinued over here) and the eyeshadows from the Cool Heat and C-Shock limited edition ranges. I didn’t get colours from those ranges when they came out as I wasn’t so into buying eyeshadows at that time and now I wish those shades would come back so I could get them (especially Climate Blue)!

Arika BH Avatar

Ablaze blush, Firespot e/s, Port Red l/s, Stark Naked BPB, Flammable paint, and forever ago, I think it was with the Lure Collection MAC had gel blushes in squeeze tubes that were the best I was hoping sometime they would come back. MAC has a gel blush coming out finally again with the rose collection. I am snatching up a few of those!

Joy Avatar

Classic Dame mattene l/s…my absolute favorite for sexy retro lips. I get complimented EVERY single time I wear this one…never fails.

Tanya Avatar

well there are some colors in collections from MAC that I didnt buy the first time they came around, so I dont really care if they become perms but I would like it if they came out in a LE collection again so I could get my hands on them. Like the McQueen shadows and paint pots. Some of the Barbie colors and the Playboy lipsticks.

I do hope they make dazzleglasses perm 🙂 I love all of those

Reese Avatar

I’m gonna go with the MAC Volcanic Ash Exfoliator too. I love it! I’m down to my last drop and I’m holding on to it for dear life. LOL

KG Avatar

Smoke & Diamonds, Firespot, Going Bananas, and Springtime Skipper eyeshadows and All Revealing lipstick (Holiday 2006 Tan Lips). All Revealing was my HG lipstick. I’ve been searching for a dupe with no luck for 2 years 🙁

aradhana Avatar

there was this really great shade of mac nail polish….deep red….i think it was called ‘rocker’??
mine smashed on a stone floor… 🙁

Tania Avatar

Christine I’m so glad that you posted this because I’ve been trying to find a dupe for my Fast Lane Lipstick from the Rushmetal collection. I have yet to find one! I also missed cloudburst eyeshadow not once but twice! Everytime I try to go buy it it’s gone, first with Storm and then with Heatherette! I know I looked like a little kid when I had a fit in the store. Oh well! That eyeshadow will be mine!

Stark Naked is the BOMB!! So is Smooth Harmony Beauty Powder. All other bronzers look way to orange this one is amazing so I dread the day I run out. Malibu Barbie Lipglass is amazing another dread the day I run out item. I also missed on the FAFI II Quad.

Sara Avatar

Coco pigment, Stereo Rose MSF, Smoke & Diamonds eyeshadow, all the Pearlglides (especially Fly-by-Blu), anddddd Solar White or any of the Cool Heat eyeshadows

Courtney Avatar

Fresco, Rosalee, Dainty Cake, Isabella freaking Blow, and Rocking Chick lipsticks
Veneer lip lacquer
Any and all 3D glasses
Fleurry blush
Royal Wink fluidline

There’s also a mask I bought at the Body Shop a few years ago that I looooved that they no longer make. I am not pleased.

Jennifer Avatar

They need to make the Volcanic Ash Exfoliator PERMANENT! Plus bring back the recently discontinued colored Brow Finishers (wheat, etc.)even though the brow finisher in clear isn’t discontinued. The praised blush/contour in Emote should be brought back and some of the MSFs too!

I know you could get some of the stuff I have listed at CCOs but I don’t have one in the state I live in there’s only a MAC counter. 🙁
Ebays another place but the prices are CRAZY! plus I don’t want to take the chance and order something just to receive it and realize that it’s fake. 🙁

Carla Avatar

MAC Scrub Mask. I stopped using St Ives Apricot Scrub and got hooked on the scrub mask. Also Clinique’s acne night spot cream. Can’t remember the name but luckily I have a lot of it. I recommended it to a friend and thats how we found out it’s been discontinued.

Non-MAC comment lol: Smashbox backdrop cooling tint: covers all redness, pores, gives me that polished look! Rimmel Star Dazzlers: really nice lip stain/gloss 🙂

Jody Avatar

Mac’s Fun Fun lipstick!! I am really hoping Mac’s Nouveau Frou lipstick worn with Snob will create it. This limited edition stuff is torture!!

nursevonzombie Avatar

Mac ash exfoliator
Mac Tendertones
Mac shadesticks and paints
Starflash eyeshadows I regret not buying any!
Paint pots from the fafi collection

details Avatar

Most everything from the Smoke Signals collection – the quads, the lipsticks, the blushes – it was amazing. (I was just discovering my love for MAC – I had no idea I should have jumped on everything from that collection.)
Tendertones should be out every 6 months (like the new mineralized stuff is.)
Feline Kohl power – I mean come on.
Moth Brown e/s
Stereo Rose MSF for sure.

Ceci Avatar

I wish MAC would relaunch the Kohl Power Liners they had. I really love my Orpheus (which is a black-gold color, something I don’t find a whole lot) and I wouldn’t mind getting it again!

sj Avatar

Alll MAC: Nice Vice paint pot, Hyper lipstick (my HG), So Be lipstick (retro matte) Mothbrown and Parrot. I’m almost on Pan on my first mothbrown and a dip in my second one… and I seem to have lost my Parrot 🙁

Grace Avatar
