Paintbox Colour Collection 5L Eggshell - Moonstone

I had never heard of this concept before and I hope it disappears without trace. It is certainly not designed for the English/Irish market. For a start the instructions were not in English and the illustrations were somewhat misleading and farcical to a degree. I was under the impression that one could actually use the carton as a paintbox, hence the name of the product. Alas no, as the carton was indeed a carton and nothing else! The paint itself was in an infuriating rubbery utensil with an equally infuriating screw top lid which seemed to have a penchant for leaking unless the customer was an expert in preventing it. It reminded me of something a vet or farmer would use for dispensing milk for certain animals. In conclusion, the paintbox experience was quite a nightmare, one that I wouldn't like to endure ever again. I've got through it relatively unscathed and somewhat wiser!

I was worried when I first saw this product but I thought I will take a chance on it and I am happy that I did It was a good quality paint easy to use and gave me the yellow I wanted. I will use this product again as I only got one box to test it out on my hallway. Now I know I can use it on other areas of the house.

Arrived on schedule, I love the packaging, I am getting in far less mess than with a tin! Easier to take what you need. The Chalky Violet looks fantastic on the wall, it only needed 1 coat and is a dream to paint with, I did water it down a little too. The Old Ochre I ordered gets the same great review, except for it being rather more of a cream than I had anticipated, I thought it would be a few shades darker, but overall great product :) I will be buying more!

Colour not at all like the screen ..love the idea of the box and paint in a bag

We have a period property and gloss doesn't right so this eggshell paint is perfect. The paint is an off white/pale cream colour and is thick so no drips. Packaging is amazing as you can pour out as much or as little as you need leaving no mess behind, no skin on the top of the paint that you get with paint pots or looking for something to open the lid with. Just ordered my second 5L box.

This is very good paint which covers well and looks amazing.I like the container which keeps the paint in a better condition than cans.I poured what I needed to use into a large plastic jar with lid as I was using a brush not a roller and this worked well.Very good value too.

I didn't know chalk was yellow!

Absolutely love this paint. Gorgeous powder pink colour I was hoping for and goes on brilliantly. Love how it's in a box too!
