I'm really sad about the shadesticks. I only own Sea me, Lucky Jade and Corn. I still haven't gone out to replace my corn one yet (that my sister broke) so hopefully they will have some at the end of the week when I have time to go shopping! Whyy would they discontinue Corn? From the sounds of it, it's one of the more popular colours too...

Royal Hue went from ToD to off the site over the last couple of days. Glad I picked one up last week.

Also, at the SF pro store they still had a TON of corn shadesticks. I'm going to stock up on all the discontinued/ToDs that I don't have next week.

Well, crap, Beige-ing has been my staple for the last three years.

The good news is I like paint pots (they're more blendable and easier on my eyelids than the shadesticks are), and UDPP is a great substitute as well (it doesn't make shadow brighter like Beige-ing does, but it does make shadow stay on all day without creasing or fading like you wouldn't believe).

Beige-ing is being discontinued as well? Can anyone confirm this or is it just a rumour? I will have to get several back-ups in this case, this stuff is perfect for pigments.

I was under the impression from this thread that ALL shadesticks were being discontinued now that they've released the paint pots. If not, then, phew....

I thought only a few shades were being phased out...

MissChievous, this is the post that I was going by. Maybe priss can clarify for us?

Sharkskin now has the triangle of death next to it. :'(
NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE this shadestick other than Sea Me!!!
I might just pick-up ANOTHER back-up of it, though I had bought one already.

Is blackground paint pot comparable to Sharkskin at all?

I don't really know if they were on the list or not. But the site definitely shows that it's being discontinued.

Hm, seems like diff locations are getting diff information about what is being DC'ed. Oh god if Sharkskin is maybe going, I'd better get a backup of that too. I just got it recently and it's excellent for smokey eyes and darker colors.

But yeah, Sharksin, Overcast, and Silverbleu now have the Triangle of Death next to them! Why are they replacing Shadesticks with the crappy paint pots??? Gah!!! So annoying. I guess they weren't selling as well because people don't know how to use them, but honestly, it's a superior product to the paint pots.

@ darkishstar - I have read on MUA that the Blackground pp gets some medoice reviews, worse than the other pp's. That's why I didn't buy it.

Well, I'm swapping for one of the pp's (Rubenesque) to try out the medium, but so far I haven't been enthralled enough to buy one full price.

Rubenesque is beeeaaaautiful, both alone and with shadows over it, I hope you like it!
