The absolute only thing i've hit pan on was Expensive Pink, and that didnt take me long....maybe....7-8 months? Now im scared to use it, cuz i dont want it gone...even though its permanent, i'd rather save for LE items.


But i can tell that most of my collection is going to last me till im dead. I told my sister if she was worthy then i would leave it all to her *lol*

I'm on my third vex and second trax (I use this combination a lot) and have hit pan on sprout, nylon and patina.
I'm also about halfway through a (now discontinued) green pigment which I've had for 2 years already and I'm seriously gonna cry when I finish it, but at this rate, that won't be for another year or so.

In the past 9 months, I've gone through 2 sketches, 2 motifs, 1 beautiful iris, and hit pan on vanilla, phloof, white frost, hepcat, shimmermoss and juxt. If I worked at a MAC store, I'm sure I'd go through at least 1 pink opal a year.

Only one e/s:
It took me 2 1/2 years to hit pan with Shroom...it's now 3 years (since I bought it) and there's about a 2-3mm ring of product left

For you ladies using up your pigments, are you just talking about your 5g or so sample containers? I was under the impression the original poster was referring to the full-sized jars you buy pigments in from MAC stores.

And if you did all finish off those big jars, then...WHOA!!!!!!!

I'm starting to wonder if i should ever even consider buying a full sized pigment..seems like such a waste to get it as i'm a light user than most anyway and i don't do Ebay so i can't buy samples or even sell most of my full sized pot off if i got one.

I've used about 1/2 a jar of Rose pigment, mixing my own lip glosses and balms. I'm close to hitting pan on Juxt and Naked Lunch.

i can see the pan in goldmine, and in pearl CCB, which i used to use like everyday for a year...i'm surprised too, because i use a lot of carbon, and if it hadn't of shattered, i would have not seen the pan yet!

the pan is flat, the MSF is domed, so even when the dome is gone there's still lots more product left.

I'm close to hitting empty on Vanilla pigment, but only because I use it to blend with other shades. I also use it as a wash/highlight shade often and in the middle of my lips with gloss to highlight.

I've used up an entire Beaded e/s and Well Dressed blush and I'm beginning to see pan on another one. . .it's honesty I think (I know it's in my neutrals palette). My hush CCB is about shot too.


But if you wanna talk about bottles of foundation or powder compacts. . .now that's a different story!


(thinking out loud: I wonder how long it's going to take me to use up a creme blush. . .)

I tried to depot a mineralized e/s and there was NO pan! I don't know if it was a fluke or what but I didn't want to test out any of the others. It was just the bottom of the product (which as we know is baked) with some of the glue they use to glue in the pans stuck to the plastic you pop out to heat over a candle (I use the candle method). So I would think if that is not a fluke, all the mineralized items are the same.

As for me, I have used up 1 nylon, 1 pink freeze (and hit pan on the 2nd one), 1 or 2 shrooms (and hit pan on the current one I have). But I started using MAC in '98 and nylon and pink freeze were amongst my first colors. I think there are some others I have hit pan on but I am at work so I can't check for sure =) Oh, and 2 Beige-ing shadesticks! I L O V E that baby! I have NEVER used a whole pigment but I have over 50 so I know those will be passed on from generation to generation! LOL.
