MAC Posh Paradise Discussion

I don't really like painterly because it's too pink and light for my skintone.. but I want to finish it and I have to remember to use it as a base everytime I do a look (why do I forget about use a base???). anyway how long does it take to a paint pot to finish? of course I should also know if you use it everyday or once a week

It took me a year to finish painterly and i used it as an everyday base. Now, I know some people were saying that they don't recommend using cream products after a few months but the consitantsy was the same from start to finish and i never had any irritation (and I also wear contacts so lots of things would cause irritation to my eyes, like lining the waterline at times). They have other colors besides painterly, i even wear Indianwood as a shadow sometimes (I got it with the tartan set my friend got me). I just remember to wear a base because on my makeup vanity I place my paint pots front and center so they're the first things I see. Hope you give them a try

As much as I try, I cannot get down with matte lips unless I put a gloss over it. I have a few exceptional colors that I am willing to work with, but I won't spend any more money on them. Plus, these colors don't do anything for me. I am all about the paint pots. I want Imaginary, Pure Creation, Genuine Treasure, Nubile, and Treasure Hunt. I am new to the PP train because I discovered Groundwork earlier this year. When the color is right, PP's are amazing. I want these new colors NOW!

I can't wait for them! I'm gonna try to grab as many as possible i wanna see swatches NOW! but we probably wont see them until later, mid august maybe?

of course I'll try them (if I have enough money).. I also really like rubenesque from what I've seen... Probably I don't like painterly because it's simply a base color...it's not meant to use alone I guess...well, I would never use it alone ^^ uhm I don't use it everyday so it will probably take a looooot to finish... two months are passed but it's perfect

yeah they last awhile, but if you use it just as a primer then you'll be fine hope you like the new ones more!

rubanesque is one of my faves - such a pretty colour and looks amazing when worn alone on the lids

I really like Bare Study alone, gives a nice pale gold nudey eye and I like to use it with coloured liner and plenty of mascara for a simple look. It can be glammed up a bit by adding a matte bronze or brown shade into the crease.

I like to use Painterly and Groundwork as bases for the most part. i've even used them as a highlight color for my eyes when blended out well. I have Coral Crepe....usually wear it as a base for pink/coral shadows or to give a pretty lil bit of color to a neutral eye.

Bare Study is very pretty. As the new p/p have a frost finish, maybe they are based of BS?

 

[GlamQueen21]

YAY for new paint pots!!! I'm might get every single one but will wait for swatches first to see which ones that I want. My favorite paint pot is Rollickin! Love that teal paint pot very much!

 

[Asphyxiation]

The yellow PP sounds cool, and purple yay !!
But I'll be getting all 8 anyway no matter what they look like..

But I wish MAC would bring out a cream (matte) true grey PP !!!

It's the classy packaging - the glass container - that makes them attractive. I'm glad that they come in glass containers rather than plastic.

me too! maybe one day we shall get our wish!

 

[Mac-Guy]

Me too. With all these grey and purple e/s, I was anticipating a grey matte p/p. Maybe we will still get one?

 

[missah]

I will probably cross a few off later but my list so far:

[h=3]Mattene Lipstick[/h]

• Naked Bliss Neutral light pink
• Legendary Mid-tone brick red
• Unknown Pleasures Deep red blue
• Eden Rouge Bright blue-red
• Delectable Orange-beige
• Deliciously Foribbden Mid-tone berry

[h=4][/h] [h=3]Paint Pot[/h]

• Half-Wild Mid-tone purple (Frost)
• Nubile Light peachy nude (Frost)

Most of my fall collex list seems to be lippies... hmm.

 

[Asphyxiation]

I hope so !
I've been wanting one since forever !

I was super stoked with Cham-Pale because Dangerous Cuvée seemed grey... But noooo...
On my skin it shows up silver brownish.

Sheer, glittery, silver brownish that is.. >_<
I Seriously don't hope these new PP's have the same formula as the Cham-Pale ones..!

 

[Mac-Guy]

According to Temptalia, release date is September 15.

Absolutely. I've been hoping for one like that and a sort of cool light taupe- clay colour. Perfect for those days when I oversleep...

A nice matte gray paintpot would indeed be nice. I actually sat down and calculated how much I'll need to save to get all of the p/p's and most of the lippies. Let's just say that I can't get near a Sephora, my car will have to be okay and the acquisition of my MAC permanent eyeshadows will be slowed to a trickle. Still, worth it for paintpots. The folks at the free-standing MAC store will think I've died! >_
