No wonder I've worn Chanel for 16 years...

Category: "Can you recommend an alternative for a discontinued product or shade?"
Hello:
I'm looking for a lipglass called "Succulent (AB9)". It's an amazing orange shade which I didn't see on your site, which leads me to wonder if it's been discontinued. I know it's a color I purchased five years ago, so I'm not surprised if that is the case. Could someone please tell me if it is still available or what its next-best replacement would be? I'd even consider lipsticks as a last-resort to re-capture the look of that color, but prefer glosses.
Thank you so much!
Anna

Hello Anna,
Thank you for taking the time to email us at MAC Cosmetics Online.
We're sorry you were unable to locate SUCCULENT Tinted Lipglass. Regrettably, it has been discontinued and is no longer available. However, you may be able to locate it by calling 1-800-387-6707 option 7.
If you are unable to locate additional quantities of Succulent, you may be interested in layering RUSSIAN RED Tinted Lipglass (a glossy taupe red with blue undertones) and SPRING BEAN Lustreglass (a sheer shimmering golden green) for a similar shade. It is the closest match that we can recommend for your needs.
For your convenience, your recommended products may be viewed and/or purchased online, simply go to:

Still, it was a nice reply, no?
Yeah, that's how I've always felt about MAC (I think they were better when they were Canadian! ;) )
Does anyone remember Film Noir, a.k.a. Every Desi Girl's Go-to Lipstick? At least, before MAC reformulated and made it too brown :(

Yeah, I agree with Maisnon - they were better when they were Canadian!
I just got their lipstick - Polished Up in Lustre finish. I'm loving the color and the texture.
