Do you prefer mac eyeshadows or pigments?

I've been debating for a long time about which one I like better. When I first got into MAC, I loved the idea of pigments, but I own a few samples that just sit around and I find myself using the shadows on a regular basis. I love pigments, but I think since they're loose, I don't reach for them that much. I want to love pigments, I really do. I keep buying and buying, but I just never really use them... Do you all prefer pigments or eyeshadows? Which ones do you think are easier to work with?

I reach more for shadows to be honest, and actually the shadows i reach for are the newer ones ive not depotted yet. but if i crack my palettes i usually do use a pigment, at least vanilla to highlight, or a brown one for a crease. (LOL I guess I should mention I do press my pigments that are pressable, therefore available in my palette.)
That being said, i can't wait to press mutiny!

But honestly I use shadows far more.

My love is pigments. I often neglect my eye shadows because of this. Once you get the technique down with pigments, they are just as easy as shadows. I also feel that the color payoff (especially when used wet) is no match for eye shadows. Here is another thread on this subject: http://specktra.net/f165/e-s-pigment...-prefer-96071/
