I missed out on MAC Strada, Pink Cult and Cubic. One if not all of those could come back!
MAC Sweet Sentiment (which I have) and MAC Subtle Breeze (which I missed out on, opting like a fool for Early Morning, which was its orange toned “sister” in the release). I regret to this day missing out on that blush. Both are Mineralized blushes and I really love the finish/look of those on my skin.
Oh – and how could I forget an oldie from Too Faced. I have a small pan of it in the Enchanted Glamourland palette and it’s La Vie En Rose. I think Too Faced used to sell it as a single in the dim and distant past (when they also had single and split pan eyeshadows, also now long gone).
Sorry, I’ve got a list this time! All are blushed unless otherwise noted.
MAC Oh, My Passion! Pearlmatte Face Powder, Sugar or Syrup, Pink Cult, and Undercover Heroine; NARS Fetishized and Almeria; Becca Prismatic Amethyst Shimmering Skin Perfecter and Becca Opal Flashes Jade Light Chaser Highlighter; Dior DiorSkin Nude Luminizer in Pink Delight; Fenty Beauty Stone Cold Killawatt Freestyle Hilighter; and Wet n Wild Zombie Blush.
Rachel, the Becca Opal Flashes Jade may still be available on their website in the sales section which they call Going, Glowing, Gone. Last I checked they had 6 shades still available.
Thank you! I have one, but I may get myself a back-up if they’re on sale.
Wow that is pretty- kinda wish I’d gotten that one myself!!!
I have two, one limited edition and one discontinued! One would be MAC Light Year mineralized skinfinish from the Heavenly Creatures collection! Then the discontinued blush from MAC in Tenderling. Both are SO great for fair/light skin!! Wish I bought multiple back ups for both.
The only one I could think of was Tenderling! I wish I’d known it was going away, I too would have bought backups. I still have one I’m using but it is showing wear and I use it sparingly.
Charlotte Tilbury x Norman Parkinson Colour of Youth blush. My favourite blush without a doubt and I adore the packaging.
MAC Next to Skin. Such a good contour shade for us paler/fairer skintoned folks.
The one product I’m so bummed I didn’t pick up was Dior rose diamond highlighter. I’ve seen it on makeup resale sites but they want ridiculous amounts of money for it . I honestly don’t have respect for women who buy makeup just to resell and hike up the price.
This is one of the reasons I so dislike limited edition releases, especially when they also limit the quantity. It encourages “makeup scalpers” – you see them on Ebay all the time.
I lucked into getting Strada by a fabulous SA at Saks one day long before contouring was trendy. I don’t know why MAC did not re-release it when they were putting together contouring kits for fair skin.
MAC Oh My, Passion! and Spring Flock are two that I love so much and use regurally, that I fear the day that they run out. Wish both would be made permanent!
How did I forget Spring Flock?! I’d add that to my list.
The same way that I somehow forgot about Nars Fetishised Blush, Rachel! There’s just too many great ones to keep track!
MAC Pink Cult
MAC Oh My Passion
MAC Pearl Sunshine
MAC Alluring Aquatics collection! Bronzers and blushes
Yes!
Mac Instant Chic. I love this blush! And tried to depot it, it broke and I put it in a Naglene jar.
I think it’s technically not an LE, just discontinued, but definitely NARS Satellite of Love highlighting blush. I just Google Imaged NARS Almeria blush after seeing it in Rachel’s list, and I might also go for it if it were brought back.
The only one I could think of was Mac Tenderling. It was discontinued though, not limited.
After reading through the other comments I am so curious about the other blushes mentioned and am going to look for pictures! 😉
EA’s Sweet Peach blush, very hard to get now without paying an absolute fortune for it on ebay – the shipping costs are horrendous. It is the perfect peachy coral shade without the orangey undertones.
I have a cream blush that Besame Cosmetics made as part of their Snow White collection that is quite pretty. I like it better for everyday than their permanent cream rogues. It would be perfect for their permanent line.
Nars Rotonde! to be fair, it’s so much product in the pan it will last me a lifetime!
MAC’s Nude On Board Bronzer. That was the most beautiful bronzer for my NC 25-42 skintone. At my palest, NC 25 and at my darkest NC-42, that bronzer was stunning. I only bought one-I should have bought at least 3-4 more.
Nearly all of these are available on Mercari. I was able to get most of the MAC blushes discussed, as I missed them all the first time around. I’m more of a cream blush/lipstick as blush person, but like the convenience of a powder blush.
I must say, Pearl Sunshine is indeed fantastic. So I got 2 ?
