I wonder what book that was...they're on the new scematic sheet so I don't see them being d/c any time soon.
However, there are tons of stuff on the schematic that I've never heard of/seen/we have never had in tock & other shadows that are very popular are not on it at all.

i don't think Retrospeck is being DC because if you go to MAC's site, there's no triangle next to it.

I don't understand the "Goodbyes" section because a week or 2 ago I saw Fiction e/s had the triangle next to it, but was not in the Goodbyes, and then a couple days after I noticed that, it was gone. I don't check the site every single day of my life, and I don't like having things pulled without much or any warning. Is there some better way of finding out what's being pulled, or do we just have to remember to check the MAC counter and website constantly? And what qualifies something to be put in the Goodbyes over all the other stuff with triangles. It's very strange to not include everything, which seemed to be the point of that section of the site to begin with.

I'm really glad I got Fiction just over a week ago. It turns out I did need another green. It's lovely.

I just got fiction from the site too, just in case. I've noticed that a lot of non-limited edition stuff that was discontinued was pulled from the site rather than given a triangle and given a chance to sell out. Very odd to me.

I went to the MAC counter in Adelaide and I asked directly "Is steamy being D/C" and they said no. It is not, then the dude proceeded to read what was being d/c... And he said dovefeather... not sure if that was posted anywhere...

I haven't seen Dovefeather for a while, which disappeared fast, too. I don't think I even was able to snag a backup before it was gone.

Re: More discontinued eyeshadows
My god...Has there been any confirmation of pink freeze getting the boot? It's the very first color I ever bought...it's like my baby and if it gets the axe I'll just cry.

Re: More discontinued eyeshadows
I've been considering getting pink freeze, maybe I'll think about it even more now.
Also, I got steamy for christmas and it is amazing! I don't understand why they would dc that colour.

MAC "Goodbye" E-mail
Received this e-mail today from MACcosmetics.com:
Receive Free Standard Shipping with any M•A•C Goodbye. This offer is
valid through midnight EST 1/20 on orders shipped to US addresses
only. No offer code necessary.
Then it went on to list all the items in the "Goodbyes" section on their website. I've been ordering on-line since March 2006 and this is the 1st time I've received such an e-mail notifying me of "goodbyes". I wonder if it means all of those items listed will be gone after Jan 20th?
No matter; the only thing I wanted and ordered was a back-up of "polish me pink" lip varnish and "chance encounter" lipglass before they're gone. I'm down to a 1/3rd in each tube  And I can't stand to be without them!

Re: More discontinued eyeshadows
Do they bring out new colours to replace the old ones?
