new schematics=discontinued stuff
according to the new schematics for spring/summer theres quite a few things that are discontinued...
shadows:
mink pink
jewel blue
femme noir
flashtrack
zonk blue!
velvet moss
and..samoa silk, concrete, and digit are now mac stores only.
i think a lot of shadesticks and paints are being discontinued too. and cream colored bases
BUT the new schematics also show that bitter and chrome yellow are no longer mac store only. i think they will be carried EVERYWHERE
also i remember kinda sexy lipstick was gone too which i love
and opal and palatial lustreglasses. and since slimshines are gonna be permanent, the laquer towers are gonna be taken down and replaced with a slimshine tower and laquers will be behind the counter in beakers.

Re: new schematics=discontinued stuff
Uh-oh, I need to pick up Velvet Moss before it's gone. I keep procrastinating on buying it every time I go to the store, what with the new eyeshadows all over the place. Thanks for the info!

Re: new schematics=discontinued stuff
I saw the TofD next to Velvet Moss on the macpro.com website about a couple of months ago and bought 2-pan shadows. I love that color!
I don't see the TofD next to it on the maccosmetics.com site yet....

those shadows have been dc'd for a few months now, as well as opal and palatial. same with kinda sexy.
bitter and chrome yellow are staying mac store only. for some reason they included store only colors on all schematics last season. its just easier for them to make one universal schematic that to make store and counter ones separately.
they just need to get rid of lacquers all together.

Re: new schematics=discontinued stuff
My counter never had a Lacquer tower, and there's not gonna be ANY room for the Slimshines + new collections on that side of the island! WTF!
And Femme Noir AND Velvet Moss? Getting rid of more veluxes? ;___;

i dont think so... on our winter schematics none of those shadows were shown to be discontinued. just this season :\ and on the scematics for eyeshadows all the mac store only shadows have (MSO) next to them. chrome yellow and bitter no longer have that next to them but the rest still do :O

we dc'd them all at the end of last year (can't remember if it was oct, nov, or dec). along with certain shades of shadesticks, paints, foundations, loudlash, etc. they (es, ls, and lg) were all still listed on our winter schematics too. they were probably printed before the rtv/dc list came along. juiced, bitter, chrome yellow, orange, and smut were all on the winter scheme too, but we never got any of them (none had MSO next to them). the schematic looked to be one for stores only. we just crossed em off and replaced with dupes of the neighboring color.

Yeah, they just cleaned house with those, didn't they? I guess the thought being that Matte2 would be a new and improved version, but I really love the pigmentation of Veluxes. I dunno MAC  That just leaves Samoa Silk, Brown Down and Kid out of the original 12 or so they launched.

slimshines are perm. if you think about it, they first launched in april last year, and are coming out perm in feb. tendertones first launched in may last year, and are coming out again in may (not sure if they are perm or LE again). it seems to take about a year for things to go from LE to perm. so, if mattenes are made perm, they may come out around sept this year. we shall have to wait and see....

Re: new schematics=discontinued stuff
At my counter we never RTV'd Velvet Moss, Femme Noir, Zonk Bleu!, Flashtrack, Opal or Palatial.
We did RTV Jewel Blue but later got another shipment of it. Kidna Sexy was also RTV'd.
I hope Slimshines are made permanent as well as Mattenes. Both are amazin gproducts. The Mattenes should come out in better colors though because a lot of them were duds.
