I didn't even start getting into MAC until just recently so I missed out on a lot.

. Just when I start to find out about the shadesticks and what you can do with them, this happens. I feel like I've been late on all of the really great things that they end up discontinuing.

I just noticed on the Nordstroms website that colors like Sea Me and Sharkskin are back up. I hope this helps some people get some of the colors they need before they disappear again.

This weekend I was freelancing and the manager for the counter said they got a shipment of sharkskin shade sticks. She said she thought they were being discountinued, but then they are getting a shipment.

You know, Corn was SUCH an amazing base. It really looked good with almost anything over top... Even some purples.

I got my first Paint Pot today. It better work as well as shadesticks or I will cry...

A little info I got today. Can anyone confirm or deny??

info: Welcome to MAC Cosmetics Online. One of our Artists will be with you shortly.
info: Hello. Thank you for your interest in MAC Cosmetics. My name is Taniesha. How may I assist you?
April: Hi. I was just wondering if and when all shadesticks will be discontinued?
Taniesha:[SIZE=+0] Hi April![/SIZE]
Taniesha:[SIZE=+0] I haven't heard anything as to all of the Shadesticks being discontinued. We have discontinued most of the shades though, but I don't think they'll get rid of the whole line.[/SIZE]
April: Really??? Wow. That is really great news. I just found it kind of weird that they are only going to havie 3 diff. colours to choose from. Do you know if they will be releasing any more colours?
Taniesha:[SIZE=+0] Regrettably, I don't, but I'm hoping they will extend the colour selection as well. I love Shadesticks![/SIZE]
April: I know!! I seriously don't know what I'd do w/o them! They are the best base I've ever used. I heard that they are re-releasing 3 colours with the Gold Fever collection. Do you know if that's true?
Taniesha:[SIZE=+0] They released Sharkskin with the Gold Fever Collection.[/SIZE]
April: And Penny? If I'm not mistaken.
Taniesha:[SIZE=+0] Maybe so. Gold Fever was a Nordstrom exclusive, so I haven't gotten to see the collection. [/SIZE]
April: Oh! I see. I live in Canada so I guess I won't see that collection. Oh well... Um, just wondering how much notice you guys get on items that are being discontinued?
Taniesha:[SIZE=+0] We don't get much at all. They send out a list & it says the following items are being discontinued & then they're gone! Most stores will carry the product until it sells out though. [/SIZE]
April: Booo! Oh well. Thanks again for your help!!
Taniesha:[SIZE=+0] You're welcome! Enjoy the rest of your day!

April: You too!

Taniesha:[SIZE=+0] Thanks![/SIZE]

They turn up occasionally in sales in the swapping communities on LiveJournal too.
