Burning question

OK...I know this is a design blog and not a style blog. I also know I'm a lot older than many of you readers out there and don't always keep up with things the way I used to. And I realize that a bunch of you, both male and female, won't be the least bit interested in this post. But, after all, it's just a blog post, not an academic treatise, so if I wander slightly off topic, it won't be the end of the world. Most importantly, it's my blog, so if I have a burning question, I get to ask it.

The question is this: Am I the last person on the planet to discover the Pro Longwear Paint Pot eyeshadow by MAC in the color called Painterly? If so, why didn't I get the memo?

I started out on Amazon the other day, trying to buy an old standby eyeshadow, only to find that it had been discontinued. After spending more time than I care to admit down that seemingly endless spiral commonly known as the rabbit hole, I chanced upon a whole spate of glowing reviews specifically about Painterly, so of course I had to find out what all the hullabaloo was about.

I ordered it and another color called Camel Coat, which is almost as good. I'm now a converted hullabalooer. The stuff is amazing. Texture, ease of application, long-lastingness, and usefulness as a primer, a brightener, a highlighter, or a color on its own...in every way better than any cosmetic product I've ever bought. And believe me, I've bought a lot.

Now that I know you've been holding out on me about Painterly, I have to ask what else you know about that I don't?

And, no...MAC didn't pay me to write this post. I'm truly this in love with the product.
