I just got my Blonde's Gold today and after reading all these I had to open it to look. Guess what? It's only 2/3's full, and on top of that, i can't read the weight on the box coz it's been scratched off with black marker

Is it true that only Mega Rich and Mauvement are the only ones that's truely limited edition? cuz I went on macpro.com and even the others are marked as limited edition?

I got my stock of all the Overrich pigments today and all but 2 (mega rich & mauvement) are 3/4-7/8 full and the weight is 4.3 grams instead of the normal 7.5 . I love all the new ones!!! To me the texture is different then there normal kinds , they are kinda like bare minerals. As a sample seller (1/2 tsp's) I won't be getting as many samples from a jar with these. Today I'm filling some to see how many I actually do get. When it comes to the colors I really love them and the textures makes the color show/stand out differently on me and need even less then normal when applying....it's hard to explain, lol. Because of that the colors don't look like other pigment colors that people have been comparing them to... atleast not on my skin tone so I'm thrilled about that too

I got my overrich pigments today. The colors I got Vintage Gold, Heritage Rouge, Copperbeam, Museum Bronze and Blonde's Gold. All the colors are beautiful. I did noticed that Copperbeam, Hertage rouge were about 1/2 full and Blonde's gold were about 3/4 full. It does says on the box 4.3g instead of 7g. What is werid I weight them all, they all weight the same regardless the amount in the jar. I am not going to worry about and enjoy the pigments.

I checked out Blonde's Gold today and passed on it. Now I want it. I am thinking I need to go back for it!

Hi Audrey:
I just tried the Blonde's Gold Pigment and Heritage Rouge together with Kirch lipstick. It is a pretty combination. The blonde's gold pigment is a perfect base color or neutral color. It isn't too pink, white or gold. I hope that makes sense.
I am thinking going back and get COC blossoming blush and maybe mega-rich pigment. I think this blush would be perfect in the winter months. Have fun with your goodies.

I agree. I am not going to worry either. I love the new pigment colors - I am a true collector of pigments. I got Heritage Rouge, Antique Green, and Blonde's Gold, plus a sample of Copperbeam.
According to the MA's book these are limited edition unlike all the stuff we have been hearing about them being perm at Pro. Maybe they are just trying to get more LE purchases at first, then will keep them at Pro. Make us think they are LE and buy them all up! Sneaky...

I got the pigments today:
1. heritage rouge (my fav), will be good on artifact p/p as a base
2. antique green, deft p/p as base
3. mega rich, rubenesque p/p as base
4. blonde's gold, as highlight
5. mauvement, well I didn't get it last time
Now i'm kinda confused should i come back for vintage gold or copperbeam? I already have some brown pigments but copperbeam looks so pretty. my budget now is only for 1 pigment....

I only bought Museum Bronze and Antique Green.
Megarich looks like Firespot e/s on me so I didn't get that.
Vintage Gold looks like Sumptuous Olive OR Mink & Sable so didn't get that either.
Blonde's Gold wasn't unique IMO.
And I don't like the darker colors so didn't get them either.
Mauvement is pretty but too chunky for my liking.

Today I ended up with Antique Green and Blondes Gold Pigments. Antique green is totally unique IMO and I can't wait to start finding cool combinations for it. Blondes Gold isn't too unique but I love the texture and I think that it will make a great highlight.

I got my Overrich order today! I just got 3 - Heritage Rouge, Antique Green, and Blonde's Gold. I love them! They are just so so pretty and the texture is to die for! They just glide on so smoothly, not gritty or chunky at all like some pigments. If this is any indication of the entire collection, I think I might get the rest (except for Mauvement since I have it already).
As for the quantity, they all say 4.3 g. Antique Green and Blonde's Gold were filled to the brim. Heritage Rouge was a little bit over 2/3 full.

i got heritage rouge and copperbeam today and they are not like full-almost-dumping-as-i-open-it but id say both of these are 7/8 full. like really full, just like as if i pressed one pan.
i honestly consider they are what is listed on the box, so i will use my $$ and buy more! <3 this collection! With the cost of things going up, most producers of anything are reducing the packages rather than raising prices.

i've heard a lot of people saying they're just going to get samples of the overrich pigments instead of buying the full size jar. can someone explain what this means? are they referring to buying sample sizes from online sellers or getting free samples in the store?? j/w as i've never gotten a sample in the store.
