The folks over at M·A·C have just recently revamped the style of their sample jar containers. If you're like me, you probably harbor significant doubt that it's even possible for the current M·A·C sample jar to be any more cute than it already is... Boy, were we wrong! Not only does this new version have the most aesthetically pleasing "micro-container" design in existence, w/ it's "Honey I Shrunk the M·A·C Pigment Container" look, but ...it even has it's own micro-mini spatula built-in to the cap! Which makes it ultra-ideal for all of your pigment scooping/measuring/transferring-from-one-container-to-another needs! Bottom Line: v2.0 is truly the pinnacle of form + function.

So, without further adieu, I give you...

M·A·C SAMPLE JAR v2.0

They look cute, but personally I prefer shorter, wider jars as the contents are more easily accessible, right down to the bottom. I hate the pigment vials in the gift sets because the openings are far too small for my liking.

clearly you must have [accidentally] skipped right past the part where I mentioned it's new & improved cap design complete w/ built-in micro-spatula...

Oh, I saw that, but I'm not convinced - the spatula wouldn't get everything off the sides like a finger can.

I love the spatula. It's much more sanitary and also allows me to get the right amount of product on my mixing palette. The hope that regular jars will follow this new design.

very true. with the vials i have to use a really small brush which just annoys me to be honest. i prefer the old sample jars with the black mac logo lid :)

Why would you want to use your finger to scoop your pigments? kinda unsanitary and rather messy, imo...

I did mean for getting the remnants off the side of the jar, by which time there's not much left to contaminate anyway and, as Lou said, clean fingers are fine. I like to get every last bit out of the jar lol.

sorry but we all 'get it' - we just like different things that is all. I'm speaking from years of dealing with the pigment vials that i don't like that style of jar. I don't care if it has a spatula - i find that very messy. I like the old jars where I could use the lid to mix up products with my full sized brushes. Not silly little brushes.

With the regular jars, you can open and remove the lid without disturbing the contents. I can imagine with these new jars there will be small amounts of pigment spilling out as you remove the lid, as the spatula pulls it out on it's "shoulders" - messy!

Also, if I'm using a spatula, I like to be able to use it without having to tip the jar on it's side and risk spills.

These are just sample jars, right? So I don't think it is a big deal. While my MUA gives me 2 - 3 samples jars each time I visit, they are not completely filled up. It's really just to test a product a few times before committing to a full-size piggie jar.

K. i realize that you get it. please don't take what I say so seriously. I'm just not a serious sort of gal...
I keep forgetting that sarcasm is completely lost on the internet.

Now that you mention it, for that exact reason it probably wouldn't be too good a look for the full size pigments, if they were to follow suit (and adopt the spatula/lid fusion cap). I still say it was a major improvement to the sample size tho.
