Has anybody...

ever finished an eyeshadow? i noticed i tend to buy a lot of eyeshadows but i've never actually finished em and end up throwing it out =/ if you ladys have finished an eyeshadow- was it because you used it on a daily basis? and how long did it take you?

Re: has anybody...

I think I've finished two, when I was younger... I'm pretty sure it was because I did use the same color everyday. Now, I have so many that I don't think I'll ever be able to finish them!

Re: has anybody...

i have (well, theres only enough left for one eye; so i have to wait till i get a silver to blend it with)
i was using it on a weekly for a cpl of months, then every day for 3 more. the last 2 months i have worn it whenever i go outside of the house, which is usually three or four tim es a week.
it was a palet at first, but i crushed the six colors (all browns) mixed them and then applied them wet (only the last 3? months). if i'd worn them wet, every day, from the powdered form, it probably would have only taken about 4 or 5 months (i only go to the crease)
some MU companies claim that a 5 gram jar will only last for 6-8 weeks, but i couldnt see how that would be possible

Re: Has anybody...

Not yet but I'm just about to finish my favourite eyeshadow. I've got a tiny bit on the outside edge of the tin and I don't think it'll last much longer. I use it practically every day but I'm not sure how long I've had it.

Same for me...when I was 13 or 14 I'd wear the same stuff everyday so I'm pretty sure I've at least finished one. Nowadays I never hit pan on anything.

Re: Has anybody...

I finished a L'Oreal cream shadow about two years ago... I still love it to this day. I have a backup.

Re: Has anybody...

Sadly, I don't think I've ever experienced finishing an e/s, blush, l/s or l/g!

Re: Has anybody...

Ive hit the bottom of my Guerlain cream eyeshadow. Ive had it for about 6 months and use it 3-7 times a week. Theres still a lot left lol, but I can see the bottom.

I was half finished my HG grey eyeshadow but I used to wear it about everyday in HS as well. I probably would've finished it, but it shattered. Thats the closest Ive ever gotten.

Sadly now I have so many, Ive barely used some more than 5-10 times. I really need to start using my stuff up before I go buy more lol.

Re: Has anybody...

I hit the pan on a few, but never finished.
It's not really fair cuz the company I work for gives me samples all the time. I'll never finish them all.

Re: Has anybody...

strictly speaking, i finished one e/s, from agnès b. i did use it a lot, on my lid and as a brow highlighter, so i wore it every time i'd wear any eye makeup.

the other e/s i finished was one from Bourjois, i reached a moment when it didn't seem to have much color payoff, i had to take a lot of product on my brush to get something on my lids, so i threw it away. i bought this last e/s when i was 15, so it lasted me about 8 years. the first one lasted a few years.

Re: Has anybody...

As some of the others have said, I've hit pan but never finished, and like Aquilah, I've never finished a lipgloss either! (that I recall)

mascara is a different story, LOL. I go through them at a rate of knots

Re: Has anybody...

I have finished Shroom and Phloof! They were my highlighters with every e/s I use daily. Also finished Satellite Dreams and Stars N' Rockets being it's the color I used the most often during the wk. Took me less than 6 months to finish. I have hit pan with a few other e/s as well. heh :P
