That's what I thought too, so I picked it up to dupe that color from the SC quad.

Me too! When I realized that Seedy Pearl gave the same finish as Nanagold on me (weird, I know, but true) I returned the quad and got HR. It's so lovely.

yeah, so what does that "OR" mean? the price is still 19.50 for both sizes.

Off the radar was too dark without the shimmer. Mega-Rich looks like an orange cremsicle

. lol....I love them all. Screw the sizes, we all complained, but we bought them anyway, didn't we?

Really and truly? Heritage Rouge is similar to Sweet Chestnut in the SC quad? If this is true, I'll be sooooo happy!! It'll save me the money of buying the quad.

yes. The day I checked out my pigments I called them about the barcode and weight. They said indeed they have that.

Yeah, 'cause the color is just too beautiful.. and if we return them they'll toss them in the bin anyways.. either way it'll be a waste.. I am just pissed 'cause then I can't sell them in sample sizes without me being ripped off

that's weird. 7 of my overrich pigments are bought in US and 1 in Canada, none of them had any black marker on the bar code

 

[Shadowy Lady]

^^^ I have the black marker thing too (I'm in Canada). I posted about it a few pages ago. Made me kinda angry coz I couldn't tell the weight of my pigment

on about 5 or 6 of the pigments, they have the wrong scu #. what we did at my counter was to draw a line thru the barcode so that we wouldn't scan the wrong #. that way when we saw the line, we knew to type in the correct scu instead of scanning the wrong one. that's what we did, so others may or may not have done the same thing.

and incase anyone was wondering, the incorrect scu # rings at $19.50.

Hey fello Ottawa girl

I usually get mine from the Bayshore counter coz I live close to there. But this time I got my pigments from the St-Laurent counter coz it was on my way to my mechanic. I don't understand this whole black marker thing at all. I need to go back and get Heritage Rouge and this time, I will go to Bayshore.

I didn't swatch the two together, but just eyeballing it, they looked very similar to me.
I wish I could say with 100% certainty, but maybe someone could swatch it for you?

they are. people were just curious as to why there was a black line thru some of the barcodes, and incase some people were thinking it may have been something to do with the price, i was just saying it wasn't.

 

[contrabassoon]

Did anyone else find that Blonde's Gold looks similar to Jardin Aires? I swatched them both on my hand and they were almost identical.

Oh really? I have JA, but not BG, I'll be very interested to know if others agree with you, bc then I won't need to get BG,

Not that I won't still want it......
