MAC x Proenza Schouler (April 24, 2014)

^ I'm there, too. It makes my eyes tear up. I think I'm allergic or something to eye primers even though I don't normally have any problems with MU. I'm using PPs instead.

i love the paint pots they are amazing and i love the selection

 

[Naynadine]

I don't like the Nars Primer too much either. It makes my shadows look dull.

Me too

I prefer Urban Decay's primer. No tears, creasing, long-lasting, and the colors show up nice. MAC Paint pots don't crease but they disappear on my lids in around three hours. I want to try the Toof Faced primer once I finish the UD one to see how it is.

Back on topic, is it true that the date for this collection got pushed back? If so, then that make me a happy camper giving me more time to get funds!

Yes, UDPP is amazing. Which is unfortunate for me, because I refuse to buy from that brand, but I haven't found a good replacement for it yet. I'm still using the Nars one until I find something else.
I wish there was a Paint Pot in a shade for me to use as a base, Painterly is too dark and not really right for my skintone.

I hope it's just a rumor that it's pushed back :/

What about Soft Ochre? Me, I can't use paint pots (or other cream shadows, including eyeshadow pencils) without a primer first. My eyelids are too oily. UDPP has (almost) always worked for me. NARS' eyeshadow primer isn't bad, either. I want to try LORAC's next. (There's also TFSI if you want a high-end brand. For the lower end, Palladio and NYX each make one.)

Soft Ochre looks pretty yellow. I'm very pink toned, even Painterly pulls warm beige on me, so I doubt Soft Ochre would be a good match. If I can check it out in person I'll try it, though

Out of curiosity, how come you won't buy from UD??

 

[Naynadine]

I love UDPP I always slap a bit of it through my brows (and lids), and they stay in place and sharp all day.

There was this big hoopla when they announced they would start selling in China. It wasn't even about the China/animal testing issue for me, but I felt that in that whole process they were treating their customers as if they were dumb, and that turned me off from buying from them.

Will this collection be available at department stores or just MAC stores?

If naimies would ever restock the pro palettes, I'll send you the mini primers that come with em. I need to buy 2 pro palettes and have no use for the mini primers that cone with them, but they've been OOS for a couple weeks now

All locations.

i usually wouldn't mind collections being pushed back but i really can't wait to get those blushes in my hand already. i need something pretty to add to my collection.... now i might add on a lippie to my haul lol

 

[NellyOg]

Def in the minority here but I am not liking my Nars Pro-Prime Smudge Proof es base. It does what it promises in that my es stays on all day. My issue is that it is so drying IMO that my es don't look vibrant. Its a bit of stretch but for lack of a better word 'scaly' and unnatural appearance to me. Have gone back to my Mac paintpots as they didn't do me no wrong. Plus the tube smudge and dirty so easily. It was bought with Magnetic Nudes Dec 26th and still in box however soils quickly like the Nars blushes packaging seems to do, ugh.

I have same issue with nars. I like it but it sucks the life out of my eyelids. Maybe because I'm not oily? I think I read from a few people it was awesome for oily lids.

Soft Ochre looks pretty yellow. I'm very pink toned, even Painterly pulls warm beige on me, so I doubt Soft Ochre would be a good match. If I can check it out in person I'll try it, though  

I have the same problem. I need a shade in the middle of painterly and soft ochre. I've been using benefit lemon-aid lately which is a yellow also but brightens my eyes like crazy but under shadows it holds beautifully all day. I find the soft ochre didn't brighten it made my eyeshadow look chalky (weird perhaps) I do love painterly but I have to hide it super well as it darkens my eyes.

i guess this is why I love it I have oily lids

Erine ask costumer service, sometimes they restock without updating their online stock and sometimes they say they have it and they don`t. Every time, every time,my order is modified because their online stock ain`t real

 

[monibackincali]

I'm not a fan....

Thanks doll! I've been waiting forever to order 2 of em, along with the little trio palettes. If it wasn't for my pro discount I'd just run over to Kohls and buy em :sigh:
