If we're brutally honest, our favourite discontinued makeup products leave a bigger hole in our heart than our exes. Sure Gary had some great qualities and his mum was pretty sound, but if was between him and that discontinued eyeshadow palette... I'm going to pick the eyeshadow every time.

With Valentine's Day just around the corner, a lot of us will be thinking about our lost loves, the ones that somehow managed to get away. But luckily MAC being the old romantics that they are, have a surprise for us.

Back in November last year, the brand released their Snowball collection which featured the return of a cult favourite highlighter, Whisper of Gilt.

Whisper of Gilt was originally released in 2012 and quickly became a highlighting phenomenon. Since then the elusive Extra Dimension Skin Finish has only been re-released in 2016 and 2017, both times causing a sell-out.

But now MAC has announced that Whisper of Gilt is officially coming back and this time for good.

Instagram account fyi_beauty confirmed that the Internet's cult favourite highlighter will be making a permanent return and even better, you can get it 8 weeks before its official release date.

Everyone's clicking on...

That's because as a special Valentine's Day gift, MAC are releasing Whisper of Gilt for 24 hours only on 14th February.

But if you miss out this Wednesday don't panic because you only have 2 months to wait before it's permanently available again.

We told you makeup would never break your heart.
