MAC Items Being Discontinued (DCd) in 2009 Discussion

[miss-lilly]

Every six months or so, items to be discontinued are put aside and are -50% off. So that's a good way for me to confirm which products are going to be dc.
6 months ago it was Nico amongst others and even though it sounded crazy, it turns out that it was accurate. Anyway here are some things I saw this time (sorry if some of them have already been mentioned):
Hot Tahiti l/s

BBQ and Quartz l/l
Cara-mellow, Cranapple, Honey B., Plum Soft cremestick l/l
Graphology e/s
Girl friendly p/p (was this perm? I can't really remember)
Hyper Real Bronze FX and Gold FX
Pink Vivid and French Violet pigments
Mousse + Ultra Elegant slimshines
Family Silver + Engaging MES
Studio Stick concealer
Reel Red CCB

I'll update if I remember anything else

Thanks for the heads up.

Girl Friendly wasn't perm. It's left over from Fafi. IMO, it's because on a lot of caucasian ladies, it tends to look bruisy and well, not good.

I know Reel Red, Hyper Real reg and Fx, Quartz, Studio Stick concealer are already axed. I think more on that list are, I just am too lazy to go check my master list in this section. lol

Yes, many of them are on the list

But I really cannot understand why Hot Tahiti is going. I thought it was quite popular

I'm so glad that I got Girl Friendly at the CCO back in January! I don't want to see the really good products go!

 

[poppysmum]

I wish there was an easier way to find out what was being discontinued so we could stock up if necessary.

I think we can be glad to get all these infos on specktra! I can't imagine an easier way at the moment. MAC won't publish these information officially I guess

 

[purrtykitty]

Anyone know if Polished Ivory and Dusty Coral pigments have been RTV'd, yet?

 

[xxManBeaterxx]

I've been looking for the DCed pro pigments for a while now. I had 2 specktra members search for the dced pro pigments at their local pro stores and nothing. I had my brother who lives in cali look for them at 2 pro stores, nothing.

 

[purrtykitty]

Oh well...perhaps I'll run across them at a CCO sometime.

Have you tried calling all the pro stores in the US or Canada? I dont know if the Canadian ones will ship to the US, but when I can't find an item that was LE or recently dc'd, I usually just go on the mac site and phone call the stores. The canadian stores take phone orders and ship anywhere in canada for 7.00.

Yes I saw this so I ran out and got an Old Gold piggie yesterday. I had wanted one for ages but after I saw this in the Goodbyes section - I decided that the time to grab one was now!

 

[coachkitten]

I am really bummed about soft brown e/s. I use that all the time to blend out brown shades. I also don't see why MAC would discontinue old gold. This sucks!

 

[Susanne]

Old Gold is one of the best pigments ever!! It makes no sense to discontinue it.

If they ever d/c Teal I will buy backups. A few of them.

 

[RedRibbon]

I didn't think they would discontinue all those pigments but on my wanderings today I popped into the MAC Pro Store and the guy working there was bitching to his friend about MAC and why they stop making stuff he needs to survive. I asked if they were discontinuing the pigments that were listed on the MAC site and he told me that they were.

I should buy some Old Gold really as I quite like it but I'm scared of using loose powder. I really wanted to buy Soft Brown as it was being sold for (along with Graphology and Newly Minted) for £7.50. By the time I'd had it swatched it was up to normal price, boo!

 

[BionicWoman]

Does anyone know if they DEFINITELY discontinued MAC Studio Finish Concealer in NW35?? When I go to the stores they say that they haven't, but when I check the MAC & MAC PRO websites, I don't see it on there. I'm so annoyed right now because I can't get a straight answer. However, I still see it in the other concealer formulas. I don't understand WHY they would discontinue NW35 in this formula only???
