Yeah, we've got to have some colorful Paint Pots to replace the Shadesticks otherwise why do this to us! I picked up a backup of Sea Me because Delft as a base is just not the same.

No no no! Not Sea Me! NOT SEA ME!

I'll have to get a Sharkskin and Beige-ing backup when I next go to MAC, I use Beige-ing a ton.

The MAs at my pro store seemed to believe that shadesticks were being killed off one-by-one (no replenishments were being sent), and asked me to write to MAC/live chat/call to try to save them. I'm so sad to see Sharkskin go, and I'm guarding my Beige-ing.

Ugh this upsets me so much, i love the shadesticks! I luckily had blurberry but as soon as I saw sharkskin gone off of the site i had to snatch one at my local Nordstroms. My goodness, how could they get rid of sharkskin? I thought it was incredibly popular and versatile

I also got a royal hue making its way to me in the post. I'm hoping that Sea Me doesn't disappear off of the mac site before my pro card gets here

siiiigh.

I picked up Sea Me and sharkskin yesterday.

I love shadesticks, I really wish they wouldn't d/c them!

I am so so sad about shadesticks being discontinued.

Now everytime I go to the CCO I keep buying more and more backups of my precious shadesticks because I don't ever want to run out. This makes me so upset!

 

[glam8babe]

i actually got my first shadestick the other week (sharkskin) and i really like it. I also noticed they took Corn off the UK site

i really want Sea Me and probably a neutral shade before they all go

DARN IT.

i love shadesticks

did they discontinue that hot pink one? (cant remember the name now..darn it)
i really wanna find a couple if they are!!

im really sad now

Oh, this ain't good. PPs just do not work for some people, and there are some that do not like the packaging for paints. Shadesticks are so perfect for throwing in your bag.

Man. Well, I hope they come up with something that works for really oily eyelids...I'd hate to have to suggest UDPP to customers. :X

I swatched Sharkskin Shadestick while I was at our CCO to see what the fuss was all about... it's just not a color I would use. But for anyone missing it, you might want to check out Black Pearl Double Wear Shadowstick from EL, from what I remember it looks very similar. I have a Shadowstick in a different color I use as a base and love it, no creasing even on my oily lids and very good lasting power

Unfortunately, it's the only deep shade that EL makes in them, the rest are very light.

I bought Royal Hue while I was at the CCO and am really regretting not getting Crimsonaire as well now. Oh well, a return trip will have to be made LOL

My MA said that they were no longer going to be available at counters. Only free standing and pro stores now.

I've been nauseated about sharkskin leaving us for the past month because of course it had to happen when I quit my main job and couldn't pick up any more days at my other job for a few weeks. I was broke and thought I would never see another sharkskin, but thank god I just found ONE more at a MAC counter by my house.

I forgot to ask if they had sea me though. I'll just have to find out when I go to pick up my sharkskin.

So just call around ladies, I'm sure you'll find at least some of your colors somewhere!

 

[starangel2383]

makes me glad that i did get the shadesticks when they first came out.

 

[Stephie Baby]

I know shadesticks aren't available at most stores/counters now, but are paints still available? Or are both of these items only available online now?
