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

Wednesday, April 2, 2008

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 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

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.

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 )

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!
