Is there anything that is similar to Genuine Treasure? I'm so sad I can't find it anywhere.

I believe NYX Jumbo Pencil in Iced Mocha is a similar color/shade but without the glitter. My NYX Iced Mocha has long been used up, that's how much I loved the color. So I can't do a side by side swatch to check for sure. But, it was no surprise I was so drawn to GT!

They still have all the paint pots and mattenes at my store.

I'm NW45 and up. Any paint pot color suggestions? I'm on the fence about paint pots. I feel like I can duplicate the pigmented ones with eyeshadows. But when I see girls go crazy over them, I'm like "I want it tooooo!!" Le sigh...


Do creams and powders mix? For example, if I use a paint pot on my lid, then use eyeshadow for my crease, is that a good or bad idea?

You should try Geniune Treasure. I had to buy two. Also Nubile is a good neutral everyday wear. If you like 'color' there are many others to choose from. You won't be disappointed with MAC's paint pots.

Well where do you live?! I've been searching for a Genuine Treasure. Must have missed the last restocking.

Paint Pots are just a much better version of NYX pencils. You can use them as a base and then put a pigment or a shadow over it. Or just use it as the shadow and call it a day.

Thanks Afulton! I have Painterly, Coral Crepe, and Stringalong. I like them a lot as bases, but I've never used one as a main color or on its own. I've just never had the desire I guess. But now I feel all left out! Especially when they sell out online in like 3 minutes.

I used Nubile yesterday and it melted right into my skin, the perfect base for when you don't want any addition, just a nice primer. Today I used Half Wild P/P with the purple quad from Spring Summer Forecast 2010 and Ash Violet eyeliner. I really, really liked this combination for bringing out my blue-grey eyes. I am loving all these P/P more and more each day.
