Temptalia Asks You - What was/is the first eyeshadow you’ve hit pan on?

Posted in: Temptalia Asks You

What was/is the first eyeshadow you’ve hit pan on? Which one did you lovingly use over and over again?
I think it was Espresso eyeshadow, which I used to fill in my eyebrows for quite awhile, so I don’t really count that… I think it would be Goldmine otherwise!
P.S. - Happy April Fool’s Day! I almost thought to play a joke on you, but I decided not to be so cruel (harhar!) ;P

I think mine was Ricepaper… many moons ago.

I’m definitely seeing a dip form in mine, too. LOVE this color!

MAC’s Retrospeck - I bought this when it first came out many years ago and used it almost every day.
Christine
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Wow, everyday! It’s so great to see what shades are really the popular ones and versatile ones.

I’ve used up patina twice and have hit pan on the third, and a dip in the fourth.
I’ve almost finished a large pot of grain - bought in 1999 for my wedding.
I’ve also finished a ricepaper and arena - again bought for my wedding
Christine
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
OMG, wow!!! I can’t believe that. Do you use Patina in almost everything?
Neesh

pretty much…but i have been using it since 1997!

It was Bobbi Brown in Bone. This was back when my mom would buy my make-up and she was heavy into Bobbi Brown. It did make for a very neutral eye and I used it just about every day.
Christine
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Awesome! How long did it take you to get through it, do you think?

I’ve still got some right around the edges(thrown over for MAC and other items). The majority of it was gone in about a year or a little less, I believe.

That has yet to happen, although I doubt it ever will…
I don´t use eyeshadow every day and have way to many to use one regularly.
Christine
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Hey Nell! You know, I didn’t think it would ever happen to me, but I have maybe 4-5 that do have pan showing, and probably a handful more that have dips.

Hey Cristine,
Mine was Ricepaper,which i am wearing every now and then,but not every day.

Hey Zainy! Ricepaper is one of my faves!

strawberry fudge by clinique. and I went straight to the store for a new one when it was out. love it :)
Christine
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Aww!! How long did it take for you to get through it the first time around?
MEG
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Still waiting for that moment!! : ) I have only been into MAC for about a year and a half. I keep getting new colors all of the time. So I just keep dabbling in all of them.
Christine
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
That’s great, Meg :) I’m sure you’ll find that you’ll hit bottom for ONE of them someday, lol!

i’ve hit pan with All That Glitters and Retrospeck. i’ve re-purchased the latter and bought Gleam over ATG. i’ve also hit pan with Rose Blanc and am deciding between Ricepaper or Nylon to replace it.
I’ve been thinking abt buying Patina and Neesh’s comment has just pushed me into the purchase : )
Shefali
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Hey Natasha - Patina is AWESOME.
natasha
Wednesday, April 2, 2008
thanks for the encouragement : )
Christine
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
How are you liking Gleam over ATG?
I love, love Ricepaper. I think Nylon is a bit too frosty, though it is closer to Rose Blanc than Ricepaper, IMO!
natasha
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
i haven’t decided which i prefer. they are the same but different, you know what i mean. ATG is definately smoother to apply (VP) but the colour is really subtle on my lid. i was aiming for a more apricot-esque colour and the MA suggested Gleam. i guess i’m adjusting coz the pay-off is better but so is the fall-out (lustre).
Christine
Wednesday, April 2, 2008
Ohh, I think I’ll have to stick with ATG then. I hate fall out :(

black tied and beauty marked both started showing pan around the same time. i think i used those two every day for a 2 year period. must have gone through 2 or 3 pots of each, and those are the only eyeshadow colors i’ve ever repurchased.
Christine
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Oh, wow!! You must be the queen of the smoky eye!

MAC Jest is my favorite highlighter/blender. I use it almost everyday and with any color from orange to teal to hot pink. Love it!!!!
Christine
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
I really like this color, though I don’t actually own it. Too many LE colors coming out, and no money left for permanent purchases, lol.
Liz
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
I hit pan with Patina, Shroom and Juxt all about the same time. I will definatly buy these three shades again. I think Nanogold from the N collection will be next; its wearing a little thin. Since this was LE (and I only bought one), what is another shade that’s similar?
Sanayhs
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Have you checked the mac website to see if they still have it? Nanogold is definitely still available on the Canadian site.
Christine
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Great suggestion, Sanayhs!
Christine
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Wow! My Juxt is almost about to show some pan soon, too, I think :)
Hmm, you can try Motif - it’s similar, but it’s more of a duochrome with peach vs. gold.
Erin
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Patina, then Retrospeck, then Shroom.
Ha! Sounds like there are some good old standbys we have in common. I’m about to hit pan on Charcoal Brown, and Shroom is once again half gone.
Nanogold is a little like Shroom but with gold, so I’d go with that or Ricepaper.
Christine
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Looks like these are all common shades to use up quickly!
Kimberly
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
I’ve used Espresso for my eyebrows, but I’ve hit pan several times with Retrospeck. <3
Christine
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Wow! Is that your highlight color of choice, Kimberly?
Kimberly
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Actually I use it regularly for a base color. I also use it for blending as well. :)
TUPRNUT
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Shroom - it’s the only one I’ve ever had to replace.
Christine
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Wow! :D I have yet to FINISH a shadow myself.
Millie

Senna eyeshadow in Goddess
Christine
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Ohh, it sounds really pretty, what kind of color is it, Millie?
Vanessa
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Vex! I just love this color!
Christine
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Wow!! It took me awhile before I found myself liking Vex! What do you like to use it with?
francesca
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Strangely enough, mine is Expensive Pink. I seldom use it! :-)
Christine
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Interesting! How ironic :P
Amy
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Shroom and Mink Pink - they are my standby colors for everyday. Nanogold will probably be next.
Christine
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Nice! I never thought Mink Pink would be someone’s favorite!
Amy
Wednesday, April 2, 2008
Great in the crease/bone w shroom all over & smut in outer corners and then black liner. It is for those days that I got out of bed late and don’t have time to play.

Urban Decay Midnight Cowboy Rides Again, I LOVE this eyeshadow colour, its pretty for the office or can be vamped up with heavy eyeliner for night.
If I’m only wearing one eyeshadow(unsual) I go straight for this one.
Christine
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Hey Chica! I love that it’s so versatile!

Both MAC-yogurt and a Revlon quad made up of forest green, mid green, wooden pink and a bark brown colour. How sad i remember that, i think i was 13 when it happened, i just remember looking at those one day and thinking ‘oh dear, need to go shopping!’
Christine
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Awww!! How cute is that? I wish I had more makeup in my early years to think about, but I was under ban, lol.
Lindsay
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Vex!! It was the one of the first e/s I had from MAC..got it in one of the holiday sets and then have repurchased since. It is my go to color!
Christine
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Aww, how fun! I think Goldmine was probably one of my firsts, too.
Tanya
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
wow I dont think I have ever even gotten close to hitting pan. I guess in order to keep MAC in business I better start wearing more shadow :) LOL
Christine
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
What’s the closest you’ve gotten, Tanya? Surely some of yours have dips started, lol!
Tanya
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
hehehe actually I am kinda weird about dips….I dont like them so I tend to use my brush all over the top so that no visible dip appears. Weird? totally…thats me. But no I wouldn’t say that any of my shadows have been used more than 10% each.
Christine
Wednesday, April 2, 2008
lol, that’s so quirky, Tanya, but I love ya ;) I think it’s a cute quirk, though.

MAC’s Seedy Pearl. I adore that color. I’ve also hit the pan on my Weather Girl palette shadows from Benefit.
Christine
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Nice! I don’t think I have this anymore, what would you say it’s similar to?
Marisol Nieves

One of my 1st purchases were Vanilla and Mythology which was back in 03′ I have since replaced Vanilla!!!
Can anyone tell me if the heatherette trio #1 color “mood ring” is like Shroom? Or is there another color I can use to dup? I bought trio #2 but have SO MANY teals/blues/greens didn’t feel the need to shell out $32.00!! Thanks peeps I really appreciate it! :D
Christine
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Ohh, nice! Vanilla is definitely a fave :)
Hoppin’ is similar to Shroom… I think it has a little bit of a pink undertone to it, but yeah, I don’t think you need to have it.

I’ve hit the pan of Thunder the other night when I took a quad with me to my boyfriend’s for the night and Thunder somehow broke. :( Since it was still in the palette, though, I could salvage it and repress it! (which I did) :D
I wore Thunder with the Mi’Lady colours and it was lovely.
Christine
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Aww, how sad :( I’m glad you were able to repress it and salvage it, whew!!
Erin
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Mood Ring is the tealy color in trio 1, nothing like Shroom.
Erin
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
If you mean the pinky color, sure, it’s like the pinkish coral version of shroom!
Marisol Nieves
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
So sorry! I meant “hoppin’” The teal one reminds me of “shimmermoss”, and “aquadisiac”.Which I alraedy have! Thanks for all your help Erin! :D

Naked Lunch! One of my essentials!
Carrie
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
I haven’t hit the pan on any yet, but I can tell that Naked Lunch is going to be first for me, too! It’s definitely the most used of my shadows, with Brule in second place.
Christine
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Do you use it as a highlighter, Carrie? Gosh, I think I need to pick up some shadows soon!
Carrie
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Yep! It was also one of the first MAC products I ever bought, so it has a head start. (I got it with Trax, which I never use now :P )

Nice! I knew this one was a popular pick!

I have gone through three amber lights and I have replaced gleam a few times as well. I think for awhile I was using amber lights everyday.
Christine, I recently found this site and I LOVE IT! You provide such great information.
Christine
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
OMG, wow! Three! How long does it take you to get through one (approximately)?
Thanks! Welcome to the site, Simone!
