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

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.
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
I’m definitely seeing a dip form in mine, too. LOVE this color!
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
MAC’s Retrospeck – I bought this when it first came out many years ago and used it almost every day.
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Wow, everyday! It’s so great to see what shades are really the popular ones and versatile ones.
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
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
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
OMG, wow!!! I can’t believe that. Do you use Patina in almost everything?
Wednesday, April 2, 2008
pretty much…but i have been using it since 1997!
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
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.
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Awesome! How long did it take you to get through it, do you think?
Wednesday, April 2, 2008
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.
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
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.
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.
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Hey Cristine,
Mine was Ricepaper,which i am wearing every now and then,but not every day.
Luvv,
Zzainy…
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Hey Zainy! Ricepaper is one of my faves!
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
strawberry fudge by clinique. and I went straight to the store for a new one when it was out. love it :)
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Aww!! How long did it take for you to get through it the first time around?
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.
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!
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
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 : )
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Hey Natasha – Patina is AWESOME.
Wednesday, April 2, 2008
thanks for the encouragement : )
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!
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).
Wednesday, April 2, 2008
Ohh, I think I’ll have to stick with ATG then. I hate fall out :(
Wednesday, April 2, 2008
Do it – its gorgeous!
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
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.
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Oh, wow!! You must be the queen of the smoky eye!
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
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!!!!
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.
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?
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.
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Great suggestion, Sanayhs!
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.
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.
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Looks like these are all common shades to use up quickly!
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
I’ve used Espresso for my eyebrows, but I’ve hit pan several times with Retrospeck. <3
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Wow! Is that your highlight color of choice, Kimberly?
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Actually I use it regularly for a base color. I also use it for blending as well. :)
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Shroom – it’s the only one I’ve ever had to replace.
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Wow! :D I have yet to FINISH a shadow myself.
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Senna eyeshadow in Goddess
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Ohh, it sounds really pretty, what kind of color is it, Millie?
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Vex! I just love this color!
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Wow!! It took me awhile before I found myself liking Vex! What do you like to use it with?
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Strangely enough, mine is Expensive Pink. I seldom use it! :-)
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Interesting! How ironic :P
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Shroom and Mink Pink – they are my standby colors for everyday. Nanogold will probably be next.
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Nice! I never thought Mink Pink would be someone’s favorite!
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.
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
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.
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Hey Chica! I love that it’s so versatile!
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
*unusual even, sawree
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
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!’
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.
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!
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Aww, how fun! I think Goldmine was probably one of my firsts, too.
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
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
What’s the closest you’ve gotten, Tanya? Surely some of yours have dips started, lol!
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.
Wednesday, April 2, 2008
lol, that’s so quirky, Tanya, but I love ya ;) I think it’s a cute quirk, though.
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
MAC’s Seedy Pearl. I adore that color. I’ve also hit the pan on my Weather Girl palette shadows from Benefit.
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Nice! I don’t think I have this anymore, what would you say it’s similar to?
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
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
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.
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
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.
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Aww, how sad :( I’m glad you were able to repress it and salvage it, whew!!
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Mood Ring is the tealy color in trio 1, nothing like Shroom.
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
If you mean the pinky color, sure, it’s like the pinkish coral version of shroom!
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
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Naked Lunch! One of my essentials!
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.
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Do you use it as a highlighter, Carrie? Gosh, I think I need to pick up some shadows soon!
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 )
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Nice! I knew this one was a popular pick!
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
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.
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
OMG, wow! Three! How long does it take you to get through one (approximately)?
Thanks! Welcome to the site, Simone!
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Shroom, love it.
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Definitely one of my faves, too, Teresa! Great highlighter!
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
What’s the canadian MAC website?
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
I believe it is http://www.maccosmetics.ca?
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
wow, i have yet to hit pan on anything…i’ve gone through one lipglass so far and i’ve been into mac for about a year now…how long does it take you guys to hit pan on an eyeshadow? Do you use it frequently?
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Which lipglass was it? I’ve NEVER finished a lipglass/lipstick or gotten that close to finishing either!
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
prrr….lipglasses go really quickly for me, even though they have amazing staying power. Actually I think it’s because they have amazing staying power that I use them more frequently over lipgloss from other brands
Wednesday, April 2, 2008
Oh, a cult fave :) I think I’ve gotten maybe halfway through a lipglass at best.
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Haven’t hit pan yet after 5 years of collecting. Probably because over that time I went through phases of wearing just mascara and gloss.. None of my shadows look much like running out anytime soon! I’ve only ever completely finished a Love Nectar lustreglass… Maybe I buy way too much MAC???? lol :)
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
lol! I’ve never finished a lip product myself, so ;)
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Errrmmm…that hasn’t happened to me yet and none are even close. And I still collect more.(LOL)
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
LOL! Do you have dips in any of your colors at least?!
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Retrospeck has a dip in it. It seems to be a popular colour.
Wednesday, April 2, 2008
It does! And yet… I so don’t have it, lol. *ashamed*
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
I’ve never hit pan on anything, I just have too damn much lol I’m pretty close to hitting pan on grain tho, which is my HG highlight shade
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Yay, your HG shade is also permanent. That’s always something to smile about. I hate when a HG is LE :(
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
goldmine!!!
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Haha, yay! One of my very favorites.
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
I hit pan on: Jest (3x) shroom (2X) vex(2x) rice paper, Sable, dazzlelight,
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
I can’t believe you’ve gone through three Jests!! How long does it take you to get through one?
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
mine is ricepaper. i bought it 2 months ago and i hit pan last week. it was exciting!
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Oh, wow!! Do you use it everday, Stephanie?
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
i do! i use it as a highlight and sometimes i will do it all over my lid, and then do a smokey effect along my lashline with espresso. and i use swiss chocolate on my browbone and a little in the crease. it always makes my eyes stand out without looking like i have a ton of makeup on.
Wednesday, April 2, 2008
Ohh, that sounds really nice, Stephanie :)
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Amberlights and mostly because I cracked the shadow and lost half of the product!
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Oh, no, how disastrous, Barbie :( I remember I depotted my Bronze, and it cracked too, many moons ago. It sucked!
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
The first one I bought was Honey Lust and it’s still my favorite!!!
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Aww, awesome! What’s your favorite way to use it?
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
hmmm mine would have to be bamboo for my brows and crystal avalanche for my brow highlight! Yes I am pale enough for crystal avalanche to not look like a clown lol
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Nice! Hey, rock on for being pale! :)
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
I recently decided to finally try MAC and first bought CHARCOAL BROWN and use it a lot on my crease lid area. I really liked the staying power of this shadow without creasing, and went back for KID (lid), BISQUE (brow bone highlighter), and CONCRETE to fill my brows. Now I have the four in a quad pro pallete compact and will call this one my FIRST LOVE. AHHHHH. It’s like heaven.
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Awesome! That’s a great color :) What a cute quad you created!
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Nothing yet, but I know Phloof! will be my first! I always use it for my highlight. It is nearly the same shade as my skin, but frosty! :P
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Aww, nice! It’s great that Phloof! matches your skintone so well!
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Oooh I can’t remember my first… it would’ve had to be Motif, Tilt, or Swish, since they were my first MAC shadows and have since been re-bought! But SO many of my current shadows are down to the pan now and it’s kind of sad. Especially since Waternymph is one of them, and it was LE.
Wednesday, April 2, 2008
Wow! I can’t believe you’ve gone through a whole Tilt ;) That’s crazy!
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
ROMP! I’ve used it at least twice a week for 2 years. It looks so gorgeous on my colouring! Most of the time when I have a crazy purple or green, i put it in the crease with romp on the lid!
Wednesday, April 2, 2008
Nice!! Okay, time to make a list of perm colors to get!
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
my first and only: stila launey! it happened a few months ago, but i’ve had that color for at least 3 years and i really want to just use it up! =)
Wednesday, April 2, 2008
lol, sometimes I see colors I’ve neglected and try to show them more love, too.
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
I’ve almost hit the pan on Nylon and Humid, two of my faves! I use such a variety of products every single day that it’s going to be a long time before I have to start replacing shadows! :)
Wednesday, April 2, 2008
Wowww! My Humid is going to last me forever, it’s just so pigmented, I never need to use much of it!
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
I’ve only used up all of Bare Minerals all over face colors in the really light pink pearly shade… I use it for eyeshadow all the time.
Wednesday, April 2, 2008
Nice, Lydia! How long did that take you?
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
I hit pan on phloof first because I use it everyyyy day as a highlight.
The first real color I ever hit pan on was Nocturnelle, I used it in the crease of every look before I was brave enough for Carbon. I still loveeee Nocturnelle!
Wednesday, April 2, 2008
Gosh, that goes on SO frosty for me, I find I can’t use it too often.
LOL, now do you use Carbon for all your crease work? <333 Carbon.
