Hitting the Pan-MSF/ Finishng off a Full Pigment

[bluegrassbabe]

I've gone thru Vanilla, Old Gold, and am almost at the midpoint on my second Pink Pearl. I make my own little TLC's with Pink Pearl (well, lots of others too, But PP is my favorite). You can use up quite a bit of them when you mix them with other products. Keep in mind I've been using pigments for about 4 years.

i purchased my first MAC shadow (patina) in 02/04 and finished it in the summer of 05.

i am no where close to finishing any other shadows, but i've hit the pan on: woodwinked, shroom, beaded, vex and b. iris.

i don't know about all of you but i love hitting the pan, it feels like such an accomplishment!!

I'm on my 3 or 4th Patina (lost count)and 2nd Shroom .

My Petticoat MSF is getting a good sized dent in it. As far as e/s go, Amber Lights, Slip Pink, and Soba are the only ones that are close to pan.

I've finished Ricepaper (a couple of times) and Goldmine, but that's about it. The only piggie I have that's a full jar is Lovely Lily and I doubt I'll ever finish it! Since I got into MAC and makeup in general, I use less of any one product I guess

.

never 'hit pan' on anything mac, but i don't have much mac. i hit pan for the first time this year on a gold annabelle shadow i've had for 4 yrs. so it takes me awhile lol

i've used up several honesty shadows, cause i love it, and i used to use it daily, although not so much anymore because i've expanded my collection so much. i've had a full size rose pigment jar for almost 3 years, given some to my friend, sampled it out, and used a lot myself and i still have half a jar. i use goldenaire the most, and have sampled that out as well, and you can barely tell i've made a dent in it, yet i have backups of all the LE pigments, lol. same with my MSFs, i use stereo rose and gold deposit a LOT and you can't even tell. does anyone know, are the MSFs domed at the bottom, or flat? like, is the pan flat and the rpoduct domed? or is the pan dome shaped, and the product flat. does that make sense to anyone? lol.

Good Q Bellaetoile! I'm thinking it'll be flat underneath..but i don't know really.

What do the people who make tinted lipbalms with pigments use? Clear TLCs or other things? I'd love to do that.

I've hit pan on Shroom several times, and I've gone through several units of Swish.

 

[Peaches]

I havent hit pan on anything ever. My Naked You msf broke though, I think I was just being a bit rough with it.

I didn't hit the pan, but totally smashed my Metal Rock on the floor. The bottom is flat and has some ridges in it, if anyone cares to know.
Fortunately, the case didn't open when I dropped it, so I was able to keep the powder in a sifter. At least that part is sturdy, lol

i've never hit pan on anything that i have!! i have a lot of e/s and they are close to shelf life but i asked my MAC MA about the shelf life and they said as long as it's not hard or diff in any way it should be fine to use.... so i was like okay!!! but my sister did crack my seedy pearl... does that count lolz...as for pigments i cant even get rid of samples that i've had for months!

 

[Pimptress]

i've gone through all of a brill, a pink freeze, both to complete emptiness and i've more than hit the pan with vanilla e/s, shroom, and fade.

 

[prsfynestmami]

I've hit the pan in Shroom, White Frost, Vapour TWICE, I've used 4 Pressed Powders, and my pigments look like new. At least I know I'm getting my money's worth.

Missy - Deep blue green? Holy shit and that isn't even a "typical" color like some of the neutrals u can wear on a daily basis.

 

[allan_willb]

I havent hit any pans YET!Thank goodness.But my crystal avalanche and goldmine are comming close =) And as for pigments and MSF's I already know they will last a life time!

 

[Gisselle]

Ive only hit pan on Sushi Flower, my first mac e/s eyeshadow ever and my pigments looks new still which i have had for years.

 

[LatinaRose]

I am on my third arena e/s (use it all the time on my browbone) and have hit pan on amber lights, nylon, carbon, black tied, contrast, and beauty marked. However, I cannot imagine when I will finish off a whole jar of pigment!

 

[Pale Moon]

I don't think I'll ever finish anything (probably I'll make it for lippies. I really use them a lot.) Ah.. well.. the plan it to own everything, not to finish everything.
