Which Limited Edition Makeup or Beauty Products Would You Like to See Made Permanent?

August 25th, 2011 by Karen 117 Comments

I live for new seasonal makeup and beauty launches, and finding a new color or product to obsess over thrills me from the top of my Lloyd Christmas bangs to the bottom of my flat arches. 🙂

But there are downsides to obsessively stalking new releases, in particular limited edition ones, and one of them has to do with time. Once limited edition products end their time in the sun, very often, like star-crossed lovers, never the twain shall meet again.

On rare occasions, however, the pigment-loving powers-that-be grant a product cosmetic clemency, either choosing to release it again in a future collection, or by giving it a permanent seat at the counter. More often than not, though, when it comes to the limited edition products we love love, we’re forced to stockpile, Hoarders-style, combing The Cosmetics Company Stores and eBay.

Le sigh…

Wouldn’t it just be easier if every brand made their bestsellers permanent?

MAC Feline Eye Khol

Take MAC Feline Eye Kohl, which I spent about 20 minutes frantically looking for this morning. It’s one of the smoothest, darkest, most pigmented black pencil liners I’ve ever worn, and one of my favorite liners of all time. Unfortunately, it’s also limited edition.

I would cut a b*tch if MAC made it permanent, fo’ real!

It pops up every so often in MAC collections, and when it does I try to pick up a spare or two (or three).

And while the beauty gods are at it, perhaps they could also do something about Chanel Jade Nail Polish…like make it permanent. 🙂

Every time I gaze at that gorgeous bottle of creamy green perfection, I kick myself for not buying a backup. On our last day together, I intend to pour a 40 on the sidewalk and shed a few tears.

Which limited edition makeup or beauty products would you like to see added to a line’s permanent collection?

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    I wish MAC would make “Go For It” cremesheen lipstick permanent. i only bought one, but it is the most fabulous purple for my medium dark skin. I love that color. But at least Prolongwear lipcreme in “Goes and Goes” is kinda similar. It’s just just that “Go For It” is sparkly and semi-opaque.

    I haven’t dabbled much in LE Collections, but I am nearing the end of my precious “Quiet, Please” lipstick from MAC’s Cham Pale Collection. It’s my go-to color for everything! I keep it in my purse for when I need to re-apply, but neglected to bring that day’s shade. It literally pairs with ANY eye look and/or outfit. I’m hoping there’s a permanent shade that’s close, so when I run out I can repurchase.

    Moleskin eyeshadow from the MAC Me Over collection! It’s the closest dupe I’ve been able to find for UD’s Naked since they started discontinuing their matte line. I only bought one, since I haven’t even hit pan on Naked in my palette yet (and I am NOT shelling out $48 for a brand new palette for one shade!)

    But I feel like Feline might as well just be made permanent, too! They repromote it constantly, and who doesn’t love a super-dark black liner? I don’t see how they can lose!

    It’s possibly one of the biggest gripes I have with MAC since they release so many LE products throughout the year. I’d love to see them make the starflash eyeshadow (Smoke and Diamonds!) a permanent addition to the collection, and pretty much any product that they find sells really well. It seems like they would benefit more by having these really popular items made permanent, instead of just having the same core collection with very few new additions.

      August 25th, 2011 at 4:29 pm

      Agreed. They never have anything new. I would have hoped that all he new Paint Pots would be made permanent since they have, like, none. They add to the foundations, which would be dumb not to, when them make new colors or formulas. They are making new Prolongwear items permanent. But why not Paint Pots? It’s silly.

    While a lot of this is true, and how I do so hate growing to love a LE product with no real way to repurchase, I also love that LE shades mean that not many other people will be walking around wearing the exact same shade of lipstick/ lipglass/ etc. I actually walked in needing a new lipstick in Impassioned, only to meet my MAC saleswoman is wearing the exact same shade. It might just be the fact that I love being different, but that sort of bums me out.

      I dont know much about the viva glam shades but do you have a Cosmetics Compant outlet store near you? The one I go to had some viva glam shades last time I went. Actually when I asked about past shades at my Mac counter (donating to a worthy cause and getting a lipstick is awesome, but I really wasnt digging the nude shade and liked the pink one they had before it) a while ago they had some old shades too.

    Ji Baek from RBL is one of my cosmetic heroes, because not only does she do the Bring it Back vote where LE polishes get to come back, she’s bringing back her entire Tudors collection–which was wildly popular, but a lot of new fans missed out on.

    I would love to see UD’s 24/7 Liner in Asphyxia crack their permanent lineup. It’s from the 15th Anniversary collection, which I have, but I’m scared of the day I sharpen that liner for the last time. It’s the perfect pinky-purply color, without being overpowering.

    I’m surprised no one’s mentioned Essie’s Starry Starry Night…or Chanel’s Ciel de Nuit.

    I have a feeling I’ll be crying when I finish up my tubes of Caqui, from the MAC Bloggers’ Obsessions collection. I bought backup, but even backups don’t last forever.

    MAC seems to be the worst culprit here, so I’ll start with them.

    Just A Pinch gel blush from a Rose Romance Collection, cream colour base in Movie Star Red (seeing a theme here?) and the coloured paint pots. Why oh why did they discontinue them? What were they thinking?! When I discovered them, Artefact had only been discontinued for a few months, I was so close… :'( the last one from MAC, Feline Eye Kohl. They repromote it so many times and they know it’s popular, so why not just make it permanent?

    Essie’s Starry Starry Night and the mother of all night sky polishes, Chanel’s Ciel de Nuit. Both outstanding, sell-out shades that have legendary status. They’re almost mythical, no-one’s sure if they’re real or not 😉

    Sometimes you have to wonder what the business guys are on when they decide to discontinue sure fire sell-outs like these; surely this is bad business practice?

    Chanel Rouge Allure in Byzantin should be permanent.

    Finally, if anyone could mention a dupe for OPI Smitten With Mittens, it would be much appreciated. Love the colour and red and gold shimmer in it and I absolutely can’t find an original.

    I’m gonna go with everyone else and choose MAC items too! MAC Everhip and Stereo Rose so that would stop those unscrupulous ebayers for charging $$$$ for them.

    Chanel Riva and Jade for sure. MAC Viva Glam V. I noticed that they discontinued VG VI SE, so now I’m afraid my go-to shade will disappear too at some point. Must buy back-ups. And MAC Gem of Roses, which I loved in the previews but somehow immediately sold out online as soon as it was released! Argh! I was so ready to get it. Maybe they’ll re-promote? Grrrrr…..

    All of the Chanel waterproof Stylo Yeux pencils. But, specifically, Vert Bronze and Rose Platine. They are just too pretty and don’t deserve to fall by the wayside.

    The thing is I barely buy from LE collections unless I see something I really, really like. It’s hard to purchase something you love so much and have it go away – hence the reason for this post – but it’s also hard to not buy it at all haha! Nonetheless, we’re left to suffer lol! Here’s my list:

    Chanel Nail Polishes in Morning Rose (one of my favorite pink nail polishes ever) and the currently-for-sale Graphite (Best gunmetal silver metallic polish ever. Period.)

    MAC 226 Brush, and I believe the MAC 165(?) – an awesome highlighter brush I’m waiting for them to repromote

    NARS Rajasthan Eyeshadow Duo – what were they thinking getting rid of that one?!

    And I’ve never tried these but would like to see them permanent so I could lol!: MAC Ever Hip Lipstick, MAC Stereo Rose (to see if it’s actually worth the hype!), and MAC Smoke and Diamonds Eyeshadow (looks like the perfect gunmetal-grey color, better than the glitter-fallout-prone UD Gunmetal)

    Also not sure if Essie has made Topless and Barefoot permanent, but if not, add it to the list lol!

    Phew! Longer than I thought my list would be!

      Maja, thought you’d like to know, Topless & Barefoot is permanent now.

      Also another item I forgot to add, MAC Bite of An Apple Blush.

    I’m praying to the makeup gods that MAC’s Blackfire glimmerglass and Chanel Waterlily glossimers will be repromoted someday! Also, Armani beauty has an eye pencil that has appeared in two collections so far and gotten serious raves. Unfortunately, it sells out so fast I haven’t even gotten to try it yet!

    I didn’t get to pick up ANY of the Mega-Metal shadows…just happened to come at a time when I was beeeeee-roke. I believe Veluxe Pearls are the best selling finishes, and the Starflash and Mega Metals were so popular, I would think that they would do more of these heavily pigmented shimmer shadows…Im wondering if thats what the new Prolong shadows will be like?

    Also, our area MAC trainer said they ARE making Feline permanent, but she couldn’t remember when.

    I also wish they would re-release the Greasepaints….I use them ALL the time.

    I would love bite of an apple to be made permanent and I would love a repromote of UD’s BOS1 and Alice in Wonderland palette. I would actually give my right arm for AIW :). I bought two extra theBalms Muppet palettes in hope of doing a swap with someone for it.

    Mac Ever Hip lipstick, Hipness blush, and the entire “Smoke Signals collection” (I’m taking it way back!) I think that was hands-down one of the best promotions they ever had. Everything was so usable and wearer friendly.

    I LOVE Mac Feline, I’m running low on mine eek! I also love the Fun & Games blush from the Hello Kitty line. It gives my fair skin a really nice glow. I bought 4 of them when the line was out and I’m halfway through them! My mom loves the Mac Cranberry Lip Pencil that was discontinued. We have tried to find it everywhere!

    actually, i’m not that bothered about particular shades being made permanent or not…as long as they are repromoted from time to time!

    as for particular product lines, that’s a different story! i wish mac would make more paints, rather than paint pots….i found them easier to deal with, and they stayed put better on my eyelids….i also really liked these gel blushes they made a long time ago , in tubes similar to the concealers and lipmixes…i hope they release those again!!!!!

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
