REVIEW // MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot - Chilled on Ice ♥



Hello lovelies, I hope you are all well and enjoying the weekend. Todays post is all about my latest Paint pot purchase Chilled on Ice. I have actually only very recently fallen in to the paint pot hype, I had always seen people rave about them but never got round to trying them myself, however before Christmas I treated myself to a few and kinda fell in love with them. So there I was at work the other day and thought to myself "I'll just have a little browse on the Debenhams website"… good job I did (maybe not a good job for my bank account however) as I was greeted with 10% off all beauty mmmm hmmm I'll have myself some of thaaaaaat!! If you follow me on Instagram you would have seen me post my naughty little haul (if you don't I'm over at Tiffanylouisemakeup come and say hi :)) I will begin by sharing this little beauty.


Chilled on Ice is described as a "frosted white gold." Its pale peach in colour with a bright golden shimmer running through. It has a mix of both warm and cool tones depending on the light you are in, It has the warmth of gold to flatter your completion but at the same time has the light reflecting cool 'frosted' tones which create an intense highlighting/brightening effect.

The pigmentation of Chilled on Ice is good but perhaps not as good as some other paint pots I own, it took a few layers to be completely opaque, If I am honest I'm not overly fussed about that because it gives you the option to wear it sheer if you wish. With it being so shimmery it actually looks really pretty just on its own.

The formula is quite dry compared to others which means it may take a little more patience to apply but this hasn't caused any issues for me, it doesn't crease or go blotchy on my eyes. The wear time is excellent, once its on this baby aint going nowhere.


Overal I am impressed by this and pleased I purchased it. MAC Paint Pots retail for £15 but as I got mine from Debenhams during the 10% off period I paid £13.50. Ps the 10% off on Debenhams beauty online ends this Sunday ;) you know you want to.

Thank you for reading, as always leave your thoughts below or you can tweet me over at @Tiffsbeautyboxx Enjoy the rest of your weekend lovelies.

Lots of love xxx
