What.The.Hell.MAC.

I think it may be riotin' time.

[cloudsweare]

CLARITY! THEY ARE GETTING RID OF CLARITY!

This is my holy grail of blue colors!


What the EFF are they thinking. Excuse my language. But, I am so done with MAC. I hate nudes. I hate neutrals. I am so pissed!

They discontinue the good off the beaten path colors but repromote the same colors: shadowy lady, tempting and satin taupe. I really am convinced that someone at corporate thinks these are the best e/s that they make.

Don't forget Deep Truth, Vanilla, Black Tied, and Beautymarked. They promote those like nobody's business too.

I wanted Clarity for so long! I hope I do get it before it gets discontinued. Also, they are getting rid of Graphology and Flourishing e/s too for those who love those eyeshadows. Also, they are getting rid of Delish l/s.

[VintageAqua]

Adding to the bad news...

Girl friendly paint pot (I've been wanting this! ugh)
Shade fludiline
Antiquity liner
#272 brush
Cushy White and Plus Luxe plushglasses
Quartz and BBQ lipliner
Basically ALL of the Cremestick liners! I love these!

Guess I'll be stocking up on strada...

[Sojourner]

Strada powder blush disappeared from the UK site recently, I checked at my nearest counter and they said it was discontinued, I emailed MAC and they confirmed that it has been discontinued...why would they get rid of such a good basic contouring powder? Is this old news? Am I the last to know like usual lol?!

[erine1881]

yay! they're finally getting rid of nico!!!

[cloudsweare]

Going to have to get Shade and Girl Friendly. Also a back up or two of Clarity.

Seriously though. MAC is turning me off.

[Zantedge]

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned but these have the TOD:

Rock Out, Voile, Missy, Grenadine, Think Tan, Gaily, Mousse and Ultra Elegant Slimshines
#37 and #38 lashes
Rocker, Abstract and Gee Whiz Nail Lacquers
311 Lip Brush
Charcoal Brown Pro Lash mascara
Classic Cream and Greenplay Liquidlast Liners (also Pop Iris and Dress Khaki but I think we knew about those already)
Little VI Lustreglass
Cremestick Liners in: Plum Royale, Gingerroot, Naked Rose, Cranapple, Honey B, Creme Sherry, Caramellow, Raw Refined, Plum Soft and Sweet Brown



I am really quite pissed at MAC right now to say the least.

[Ruby_Woo]

Wtf?? Cream liners are the best. omg

I hope maybe they're working on the design of the pencil, because as awesome as they are, some have broken on me w/ no pressure, the bottom has come off and some dont twist. Random ones, but I still hope that maybe they're just working the design.

It would be great if they did this. Unfortunatey I think there is more money to be made by creating a frenzy over new collections, and the "get it while you can" mentality that comes with it.

But Graphology is on my list Damm!

[Face2Mac]

Yep, going to have to get at BBQ L/L.

Why the 272 have to go? you can let the 275 but not the 272.

Whaaaaat??!! I esp can't believe Honey B and Gingerroot. I sure hope they come out with some other lighter/nudey lipliners.

[thelove4tequila]

Wow this is all news to me and it sucks! There's a TON of stuff I want.

[panda0410]

What about the pigments? I can see White and Golden Olive in the Dcd piggie line up as well... I had heard about White a few months back but why the hell would they Dc Golden Olive???

Where do you see the ToD for White and Golden Olive?
I don't see the triangle on the Pro website but Golden Olive isn't listed at all on the Canada website right now.
I am so confused by all of these changes!
And why does the 272 has to go?
Are they having such money/economy problems to reduce the line?
Is MAC PRO going to disappear?

[panda0410]

There is no ToD for them - they are actually on the Dcd pigment line up page...

[xkleverxkittyx]

whoa! they are dc'ing vanilla! thats the only thing I've ever come close to putting a dent in!

I don't think that they are disc. these but these were repromotes within a LE collection of piggies: Originals I think? so they may have put them there because of it? You know when they put a silver sticker under the jar for a LE shade that is permanent?
Such as Golden Lemon.
I doubt that Golden Lemon, Golden Olive and such are being disc.
Otherwise we need to petition, seriously!

[cloudsweare]

Ugh.

I'm sick of them getting rid of all the good stuff. Like I said. I will stop buying if they dump all the brights. I cannot be the only one who wants to protest. Right?

[bestbehaviour22]

Hi,
I don´t know if this has been mentioned but a some shadows are going....:
Pen n pink, poison pen, motif, signed sealed, post haste, surreal, bamboo, saddle, vellum, newly minted, juiced to name a few...
Also shadesticks, cremestick liners as you guys have mentioned, hyperreal foundation, select tint foundation, studie mist foundation, some cremeblushes.. But I think all of that is mentioned already....

I choose to look at it this way - must be lots of great new stuff coming!!!

[Ruby_Woo]

Okay so I asked our trainer yesterday, and they are discontinuing the creamestick liners w/ a pearl in them. All the others ones will remain. Also they are trying to cut down the line to I forgot the amount, but its a certain amount of SKU's permanently. Thats why they're doing all of this. Its just business.
