What crafts stores can you get them at? My micheals and joanns people looked at me like I was nuts...probably because nobody talks about things in terms of grams other than drug dealers or mac addicts XD

i get my MAC pigment sample containers from my MAC counter for free, I explain to the MA that i need to have some so i can keep my pigments in there to avoid major spilliage and every time i get it.
if you're not bothered about it saying MAC then use eBay or any beauty supplies store, if you want MAC ones go to PRO stores or ask nicely to your MA

You could get those from a pro store or the 800#. They're $1.00 and stackable and the lids are $.50
There are some nice MAs out there who will give you some, I actually had an MA give me a whole box (unopened) of those sample jars with the black tops. (the one's you're talking about). He was soooooo sweet.
There were 2 of these ^ in the box. (SIL and I split them)

Just as an FYI - quite a few stores don't have that many to give away which is why we don't always offer to give you extra. AND that MA who gave someone a whole box of them could have been fired if it were ever revealed that he gave that many away. It was a really sweet gesture but not something someone wants to lose their job over. So sometimes it's not about how 'nice' we are.

i used to ask for an extra everytime i bought a pigment. i always take out a small amount and put it into the sample container for the ease and convenience of my makeup bag. also this way I can keep all my full size pigments in one place, nice and safe. My fav ma used to always give me one and then one day she told me she couldn't anymore and got in a bit of trouble. I understand getting in trouble for abusing the policy and asking for a lot of them, but I was always spending at least $50 when I was asking.
I have since bought containers from kaliedescope cosmetics (i'm satisfied but the lids loosen very easily in my makeup bag), and a bunch from the mac pro store. i love the mac ones, but they cost so much compared to ones from other companies. I actually prefer the black sample containers that mac has the most, however. i wish they would sell those...

the stackable ones that Mac sell are fairly blah compared to the sample jars. Only if they replaced the stackies with the black top sample jars, I'll still pay the same price. Speaking of which, the stackies are ridiculously expensive for a jar. I bought a top and two bottoms and it ended up being about $3.50 CDN, for an empty little jar....
boo on mac!

Me and my sister recently bought a lot of pigments to share. Where do you guys reccomend buying jars to put samples in? I liek the little screw top jars everyone uses when they sell pigment samples. I want the same type of jar, but maybe big enough to put half a jar of the pigment into.
Any reccomendations??
And where can I get these types of jars?!
TIA!!

Re: sample pigment jars?
MAC Pro sells empty pigment jars and the smaller screw top sample jars. That's where I get all mine.
