as far as i heard these are replacing the paint tubes.... good thing imo. paint tubes are under pressure and ooze. i hope these are a bit creamier as well

I love the tubes .. I hope they don't d/c them because I hate having to stick my finger into a pot, plus they look pretty, like artists' colors. Mine don't ooze much at all...

I have a little bit of trouble with the tubes oozing, but only when I first open them. After the first use I dont get that problem at all.

Im not going to be purchasing the pots, I just dont feel theyre hygenic.

I like the tubes myself, don't have problems using them. I do like the idea of cute little paint pots all over the place but when I think about using them it doesn't seem practical so hhhmmmm I'm not sure!

you say paint pot.. I think fluidline.. why do they need to make more of the same thing! I hardly reach for the ones I have as it is.. I'm sad they are putting paitns out in pot form hopefully they wont d/c the tubes for those of us who still want them however

Hopefully, there won't be a drying out too fast problem w/ the Paint Pots.

I've had problems w/ the Paint tubes oozing w/ a few of the color I have, but it hasn't be a huge problem for me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have much of an issue w/ MAC packaging the Paints in a pot rather than a tube. I'd use a brush w/ them anyway & make sure I keep the brush clean, so I wouldn't be too worried about them being unhygenic.

I'd still miss the tubes though. They're easy to store & don't take up much room. Pots obviously are bulkier.

oh no no theres a big difference between paints and fluidline! while you can use fluidline for a base, its not the best choice for a base. it dries and sets and is water resistant. so it can "peel" off or scrape off... paint wont do that. they arent reformulating paint, just putting them in a more neater looking container. mac is getting really big on uniform-ness and neatness. they dont like how messy and ugly things look on the display. and paints are one of them >:O

I hate the way the tubes look at the counter. so messy.

take it back. they ARE reformulating... think CCB + paint

Interesting! so perhaps paints that (hopefully) will still be creaseproof but a little slower drying? I can't imagine them lasting too long in a pot. I've squeezed a paint into a little pot before (to use the paint container for B2M) but the paint ended up getting too hard to use.

I heard somewhere that they were using the paint pots during ny fashion week... so maybe more info will be surfacing soon!

They were used during fashion week and they will be released in the second half of 2007

Hopefully they will change the Fluidline display. Everytime anybody turns the display around, the jars go flying-and Blue Peep is HARD to get off that floor!

haha ya we actually created our own display at our counter for them. we are using a little stand that i think is supposed to hold pigments, before pigments got their new little vertical stand display.

and those stupid little things that hold them onto the displayer always snap off... argh!
