Well, I've got Treasure Hunt at last... and yes it's a favourite!!! I love all the paint pots I have bought from Posh Paradise but this one is better 'coz I can use it alone, apply it with my fingers and use it during the day (I don't like to use dark colors in daylight).. In my collection it's the best with Rubenesque and probably Morning frost! ... Still looking for Let's skate!

I second berryjuicy's recommendation on the water based mixing medium. It is my go-to over fix+ for MES and pigments. And a bottle lasts forever! Worth the purchase! Let us know if it works for you. Too Faced Glitter Glue is good too though... I got that to try and it works great. For both pigments and MES. I just go for my water based mixing medium more often because I'm more familiar with it.

Thanks everyone for reminding me about my Treasure Hunt PP! I'm with GlamQueen21 and UrbanSweetheart... STILL haven't even opened the box! Ugh! Paint Pot OVERLOAD! LOL
I do LOVE Idyllic and Morning Frost!

I'm in anti-enabler mode on Snowglobe. It's swanky, and probably the last chance for a great winter highlight powder from MAC unless the BP from Gareth Pugh is worth the extra dinero. For me, I feel like I can't justify it since I have plenty of Chez Chez Lame from last year, plus Lightscapade (which is equal in glow, if not equal in Snowglobe's refined texture) and half a jar left of Truth & Light MCLP (which isn't exactly the same sort of thing, but close enough).
I'd rather wait for Estee Lauder to come out with another one of the gel-to-powder illuminators, which I'm sure they will do in a very Snowglobe-y shade, because I'm dying to check those out.

The best thing about Snowglobe, just to see the other side of the coin, is that it's definitely handy as a simple 2-in-1 product. It's like having a face powder with some basic, light coverage combined with a brilliant, pale highlighter. Very nice texture that melts into the skin. I'm not the biggest Beauty Powder person, though and have a bit of a thrifty attitude about highlighters just in general, especially since I'm so in love with Careblend powder to serve my all-over face needs. Next year I will be ready for a Snowglobe-type product for sure, though!
omg i forgot i actually own this! i'm terrible!!

I love paint pots! I think its a great way to add a little something extra to shadows you already have. I think the pp in this collection are some of the best mac have brought out. At first I wasn't sure but now that I have got used to them I love them. I can't believe how long they last on the lid without creasing...particularly since they have shimmer in them...normally the more opaque pp like painterly last all day on me without creasing but the more sheer and/or shimmery ones like bare study require a primer underneath to stop creasing but not these new ones...I have worn both morning front and lets skate as a wash of colour on their own and they lasted all day - so impressed. My fav paint pots this year - lets skate and half wild!

In relation to mes and mixing medium...do you find that the mixing medium leaves a residue on the top of the mes or creates a different texture in the pan? I use fix+ and just leave the shadow opened to dry afterwards so that it is fine but I am curious about the mixing medium.......

I used For Effect as a base today with Winterized in the outer corner and Her Alter Image (Disney Collection) as a wash over the inside corner to the middle of the eyelid up to the brows. I'm wearing mostly all black today, figured I need to add some color somewhere

I am very sad to report that I had to return Let's Skate today as I could not handle all the glitter migration going on. It is probably just because of the way that my eyes and eyelids are shaped but I could NOT keep the glitter on the lid! It keeps ending up on my browbone and all around below my eyes, and the last place I want people to be looking is below my eyes (that is the not so pretty area). It really is a shame because it is SO RIDICULOUSLY PRETTY with its opalescent pink sparkles..... I am sad, but at least now I have Fresh Ice and Snow Season to cheer me up! (I meant to get For Effect as an exchange but then I realized that it was the same texture as LS and I would probably have the same problem, and considering it has darker glitter particles that would be even worse!)

I cannot get enough of Winterized though! I think it is the greatest color and texture of all my MESs....Hell, of ALL my eye shadows! I think I could actually use this every day and not get bored, just keep pairing it with different lid and inner eye colors, different liners, and different lower lash line "pops". Right now I am all over Cheers my Dear pigment (or Mancatcher) on the inner 1/3, Winterized as outer V and lid color, Clone as a liner, and Light as Air powerpoint & Winkle as the lower lashline colors.....and it is SO PRETTY. I never wear the same makeup 3 days in a row, but I can't not keep doing this knowing how awesome it looks!

I think they all do! I know Kensington, and the store in the Shepherds bush Westfield mall def have them, but unless other stores have sold out I think they should all have them. The only thing they didn't get was Winterized.

important: which stores in London already sell Let's skate paint pot? I have a friend there!!

thanks a lot!! I also have found a better solution (because my friend doesn't know Mac)... I could buy it on the UK site and ship to her! (because mac uk doesn't ships to Italy)... I guess it should work!!

Wow, really? That's such a shame. I haven't experienced that...Did you use a primer under it? I've been using UDPP in Sin.

This collection needs to just go away. I can't stop buying things from it. I've spent $500 easily on just THIS collection.
In other news.. I picked up a Dazzelglass last night since I had to grab a another 15 palette. The store I went to had all of the paint pots.. actually everything but the purple np and one dazzleglass.. oh and whirls and twirls.
