I’ll also cast a vote for the ABH Mario palette and toss in Chanel Empreinte du Desert and a real oldie from MAC – Grand Entrance e/s. Nothing quite comes close to that beauty. Possibly I’d put Cargo’s Blu Ray Concealer on my list in place of one of those products but I’m not sure which one…. I wish this question was “10 products” but, oh well….
1. Guerlain Rouge G | 867 Merveilleux Rose
(Holiday 2015. LOVE the colour, formula, and packaging)
2. Chanel Le Vernis | 637 Malice
(Holiday 2012. First high end nail polish I ever purchased, after seeing it on Temptalia. LOVE the burgundy colour and multi-faceted shimmer. I haven’t been able to find a dupe over all these years.)
3. Anastasia Amrezy Highlighter
(I tend to not purchase influencer collabs, but this shade is worth it. Still searching for other highlighters that have a similar metallic finish + wet-looking effect.)
Honourable mentions: Natasha Denona Joya Palette. I haven’t used it yet, but it’s so pretty to look at + I love the colour combo!
They brought back the Amrezy highlighter, and I heard it was permanent, but I’m having trouble locating language from ABH somewhere that says P E R M A N E N T in truth, lol.
I treasure my last drops of CHANEL Malice.. and I use it every Christmas and New Year eve. I hope this will be re-released.

Urban Decay Bun Bun lipstick
Besame Snow White Ever After Translucent Pearl Powder
Becca Be a Light face palette
I generally avoid LE’s because I don’t want the heartbreak if I fall in love. So I have only two, both lipsticks
1. Bite Beauty Gemini (and make it available in stores)
2. UD Rebel
1) Chanel Empreinte du Désert.
2) Chanel Sunkiss Ribbon Harmonie de Blush (2016)
3) Chanel Dentelle Précieuse Illuminating Powder (2014) or Guerlain Cruel Gardenia Météorites (2012)
Oh, Cruel Gardenia – that was such a “love”. My only complaint was the packaging – that screw on lid made it hard not to damage the surface of the powder! I see you also voted for Chanel’s E du D – I voted for that one too.
True about Cruel Gardenia! I don’t have Chanel E du D, unfortunately. I don’t know how I miss it because I remember having seen it online at SDM & HB. By the time I saw some reliable reviews and made up my mind, it was gone.
1) Nars Linda – this is my one that got away! I regret not purchasing this last year
2) ABH Mario
3) Pat McGrath Decadence
I really wish Chanel would bring back Notorious ‘blush’ permenantly, it would probably be one of their best sellers!?! And I second your pmg-decadence (didn’t want it at the time but it’s grown on me now that I can’t get it) and abh- mario palette.
Yes, Notorious was a great eyeshadow for me. Just now at the very last bit of it.
I tend to be less inclined to try or want LE products…
1. Pat Mcgraph Decadence: I waited too long to order it and regret it still, especially after buying some great palette from the brand.
2. Way Goss Air brush: I have two of it and think this deserves to be a permanent item !
3. Nothing comes to mind for a third one haha. I guess because many LE became somehow permament lately.
I can think of two:
MAC Flat Out Fabulous and Ruby Woo lipsticks in Matte formula (rather than Retro Matte, which is permanent). These came as minis in the 2017 holiday set.
MAC Have Your Cake lipstick. My favorite bold color lipstick of all time!
Christine, I love your choices!
1.) Mine would be absolutely yes to Pat McGrath Decadence as Numero Uno for me, too! (Sans the serious allergen Sodium Saccharin in the gold and silver shades)
2.) MAC Patrick Set Powder, but in last year’s regular sized packaging instead of the skimpy half the amount, but in oversized packaging that they brought the rerun of it in!
3.) Chanel Empriente du Desert e/s quad. Because if I ever use mine up, you had better believe I’ll want another one of these!
I know there are many more fantastic LE items that I love and wish were permanent so that I could give myself permission to use mine with full abandon without fear of running out!
1) Pat McGrath Decadence (I missed out)
2) MAC La Vie En Rouge Lipstick
3) UD Vice Lipstick in Abstract
Honorable mentions: MAC Kelly Yum Yum Lipstick and Halsey Lipstick, Wet in Wild Zombie Blush, UD 24/7 Eye Pencil in Mars, UD x Gwen Stefani Eyeshadow and Blush Palettes
1. I completely agree with PMGL Decadence palette. At the time I thought, it couldn’t be that good and it is hella expensive so not getting it. Needless to say, I changed my tune but a bit late. Would love to be able to pick it up and for it to be available to everyone. I know a lot of people would have to save up to purchase an expensive palette like that and many cannot do that within the time frame of a limited edition product. Make us all happy, Mother and return it and at permanent status.
2. Guerlain Meteorites in the 2015 (I think it was 2015) Holiday version. I think it was called Winter Fairy Tale and the perles themselves were I think Perles de Neige. I have them in my collection but had to purchase off of Ebay and I am still hoping they will return my first born child, LOL!! I would use that version everyday, if I could get it again!
3. This is the hard one since there are a lot of LE products that I would love to have back but since I am on a theme of not getting them when they were available LE I am going to go with MAC lipstick in “Party Parrot”. There isn’t a good dupe out there anywhere. It is the perfect shade of pink with a punch.
I don’t usually buy LEs, because I have enough heartbreak from my favorite regular products being discontinued, but Bite Virgo.
Also, I want UD Rebel now. It looks like a prettier version of the Revlon Blushed that I wore constantly through High School and college.
pmg decadence palette
jouer skinny dip eye palette
nars x erdem collection. the packaging is so gorgeous i regret not picking something up
ABH collab with Nicole guerriero
Hourglass holiday ambient palettes any of them
ABH Mario because I need a new one and can’t buy it
Yes, there are a few I can think of:
1. Tom Ford – please bring back the Emerald Lust palette…
2. Chanel Empriente Du Desert – we never, ever got this in Australia.
3. Milani’s Cinnamon Spice lipstick.
I try not to buy LE products but definitely the PMG Decadence Palette, I really missed the mark with that one. I figured I had the Subversive palette and that was good enough. But no I’ve been kicking myself since. That’s my only regret.
I would enthusiastically second all of your choices, Christine!
ABH- Mario – for sure. UD- Rebel –( I didn’t know it was LE!!!) I used to wear a lipstick by Lancome called Rouge Noir – and it wasn’t limited but it no longer exists, that I have been able to find – the perfect blue-red. It was the only lipstick I used the whole thing of!!! Chanel Vamp lipstick… it came back shortly but I was unable to purchase it at the time. I adored that shade. Still, do.
Add me on to the Pat McGrath Decadence palette train! She should really bring this back, I see a handful of people on here indicating that they want to buy it.
