Did anyone purchase any Paint Pots??

[twobear]

Nordies was a mad house today with all of the recent collection releases. I purchased Artifact and Delft paint pots since the remaining pots are supposed to be perm. Just wondering if anyone had a chance to try them out yet. If so, how was the staying power?? I swatched them with the Mineralize eye shadows on top which really made the colors pop.

I only got indanwood, and yup haven't done anything yet.

I think all of the paint pots will be perm. Anyway, I got Artifact and Indianwood today. I think delft is pretty too, I may get it next. I haven't played with them yet.

[breathless]

i haven't got around to playing with them. but, once they're up on the mac site, i'll try to get every single one.

I ordered stringalong, delft and artifact from Nordstrom. They've been shipped, but I haven't received it yet.

I'm looking forward to using them with the mes. I think they will make the colors pop even more. I've only had my mes for 3 days and have been using ccbs with them; but I'm really excited about trying them with the paint pots.

Looking forward to seeing other uses in everyone's fotds.

I preordered Artifact but havent played with it yet. I'm hoping that it can be used as a liner- like the Deliniate FL.

Hi yesterday I used Indianwood with udpp as a base, had excellent staying power and was really beautiful. Today I will try Artifact without udpp just out of curosity.

i was playing around with one of the MA's at nordies and she showed me a bunch of different paintpot combos with the new rushmetal pigs. the results were really gorgeous and dramatic. my fav was indianwood as a base with gold mode pigment over it -- BEAUTIFUL! lovely opaque solid gold finish with an outrageous amount of metallic shimmer.

stringalong and stray grey are limited, the rest are perm and are launching with other colors on aug. 2nd at all locations.

they are not waterproof, however, they barely budged with soap and water.

I got Painterly and Delft, and they worked very well as bases! Better than shadesticks IMO.

I bought Delft and used it yesterday with Ether for a smokey look... Gorgeous. The texture of the paint pots is smoother than actual paints and I have had some problems with paints flaking if I get them to thick. This did not and I wore it pretty thick with Ether on top. SOOOOOO pretty

I got delft and stray grey. Used delft today and i must say- its a pretty great base. Applied well, though I think I need to find a better application brush. Using my finger is tough because then i need to use makeup remover to get it off! Otherwise, this is def a great product!

IYO, can these be used as a liner?

[Krasevayadancer]

AudreyNicole, truth be told i didn't try it as a liner but I do think it would work. To me when I put it on it was almost exactly like putting fluidline on as a base. I will try it and let you know for sure, but I think it will work.

I only picked up Stray Gray with my Novel Twist haul. After trying the Paint Pot product, I will definitely pick up the rest when Painterly launches.

I love Stray Gray! Can't wait to get the rest!

[glittergoddess27]

Yeah I played with these while at my freestanding store (not out for purchase yet, but a nice MA let me just see what the texture will be) they had really good staying power for not being waterproof,.. I washed my hands a million times and took a shower before I went to bed and they were still on there the next morning so I finally had to use a wipe for them. Rubenesque is absolutely beautiful. I will be getting quite a few of them on the 2nd and am very glad they are perm.

I bought Indianwood and like it on its own for an easy bronzy look. I put a little Woodwinked in the outer crease today and it's wearing very well. I'll try it as a liner...I think it'd be pretty!

A few observations: These feel creamy in the pot and have a nice smooth finish. The mouth of the pot is wider than I expected (wider than a Fluidline), which I like. The MA at the Nordstrom I visited said these new Fluidlines do not replace the old tube ones.

I plan to go back for Stray Gray...that'll make a beautiful base for the purple looks I like. It's definitely a cool (as opposed to a warm) color.

For some reason all of the Nordstroms that I went to (I went to 3) did not receive Artifact. I asked about it specifically. I ended up only buying Delft, which is beautiful.

I have to agree here! Here's the scary thing, I swatched Delft beside the new teal HIP cream liners in the pot (very similar looking to paint pots) and the HIP actually stayed on longer than MAC. I think the HIP cream pot liners are a little too stiff and flat to use a a base but with Ether over top you really can't tell the difference.

QUESTION: Would the 239 be a good brush for applying these?

[curlygirl45]

I think I like Delft better as a liner than base.......

Me too (runs and hides because everybody seems to love Delft). It just doesn't eally work for me as a base yet but I'm willing to give it more time though

[melliquor]

I love these. My eyeshadow stays on for about 14 hours when I use UDPP then paintpot and then eyeshadow. I think i have around 7 know and plan on getting all of them.

[janwa09]

I absolutely loved most of the colors from this collection and got Delft, Indianwood, Rubenesque, Bare Study, Greenstroke, Fresco Rose and Constructivist. I'm not yet done though! I plan to get Painterly and Blackground next. I love it as base just to enhance the color of the eyeshadow you put, but when it comes to eyeshadow longevity, it still wasn't enough to keep my oily eyelids at bay. I think applying some primer like udpp under the paints is still necessary for me.

I have Greenstroke, Fresco Rose and Moss Scape. (Now I need to stop shopping because I'm so broke it's not even funny.) I am going to play with them a little tonight. All the paint pots are soooo pretty, I want them ALL. Next up (when I've saved up a bit) will be Delft and Rubenesque. Since I already have Bare Canvas and Stillife paints (in the tube format), I figure Painterly and Bare Study can wait a while.
