Yeah it's weird when perm items are sold out and don't get restocked for a while. The same thing happened with the Prolongwear concealer in my area, too! I went to three different MAC counters and they were all sold out of NW20 Pro Longwear Concealer, I was skeptical and hoping that they didn't discontinue the shade because it's my HG under-eye concealer! The website was sold out for a bit, too, but once I saw it available I snagged a bottle even though I've still got some left in the one I'm using now.
