i need quick help hopefully. i'll get pictures if necessary.
i swapped for a white gold pigment swatched 1x, in box. i got it, looked at it through the peep hole, box is authentic w/ barcode on bottom and nothing weird. i go to take it out tonight(i haven't sent her end yet which is why i'm rushing) and it looks fake. the plastic is thicker than my other pigments and the lid is shiny and taller.
the batch on the jar says a23 while the box says a84. does anyone have a white gold that's this old? or a jar this old? i'm going to do more investigating and find out if any of my others 50+ pigments are this old so i can check but so far none of them look anything like it.
i wanted to post this and see if anyone could shed any light while i take pictures and i'll edit this response to post them.

ps i've told her i won't be sending her end until i figure it out. and i asked her where she got it. i didn't accuse her because she may not know and it may be real and i was really polite with her.
EDIT: i'm including pictures! she also wrote me back right away and said she bought it on allcosmeticswholesale.com. i've heard back and forth about this website. any help would be greatly appreciated
