Rumour? MAC Pigments aren't getting discontinued, but getting new packaging?

[LMD84]

hey guys and girls,

i emailed mac uk yesterday because i found it odd that they would get rid of all the pigments from the site (all are in the goodbyes section). somebody mentioned it was because they would be sold in store only which i thought was a bit weird so i emailed mac and asked! i got a reply saying that the pigments are all getting new packaging and therefore the old versions are being sold in the goodbyes section until the new packaging comes out. it didn't mention when new style packaging would come out though.

so maybe this is why even some pro colours seem to be dissapearing? and just to repeat this was mac uk not us but i imagine it would be the same worldwide right?

Smaller, cheaper and with sifters and different finishes (hopefully bringing back mattes) would be best I think.

This makes so much sense! I'm so glad I didn't panic buy them all... haha!

Re: new pigment packaging

Re: new pigment packaging

I've a feeling it will be like the solar bits jars, i've also a bad feeling they will be less, like the 2.5g (might have that weight wrong as its off the top of my head but they where definitly alot less that regular jars) we got with the over rich collection but they will still be the same price, like they charged us for the overrich ones

Re: new pigment packaging

Thanks so much for that, I didn't think of emailing lol I wonder if it's something to do with B2M recycling and all that too?

Re: new pigment packaging

i agree smaller and cheaper.

Re: new pigment packaging

Although I doubt it will be that much cheaper since MAC's trend lately is higher cost for less product.

Re: new pigment packaging

Good news is at least it will throw the counterfeiters off track for awhile though.

Sadly but true.

Re: new pigment packaging

Oh no!

I hope this isn't true because OCD-me doesn't want a new packaging.

I doubt it too. If there is a new packaging and it contains less like 3-3.5 gr I doubt it will cost 10-11 dollars. More likely 14-15 dollars which would be a huge price increase.

7.5 gr is a lot but one thing I like about this size is that I don't have to worry about backups. And I love the jar.

So.. if it's true.. and I hope it's not.. MAC salute:

*still full of bitterness because of the d/c matte p/g and e/s*

Re: new pigment packaging

Somehow I doubt the new jars will be cheaper - they could become smaller but that just means we would be getting less product for the same price.

I like the large size jars. People say they're a waste because they don't get used up but they're still cheaper than brands like Bobbi Brown, NARS etc and similar in price to Stila which all come in less generous sizes. I do hope the new jars have sifters though, that would be nice!

hope so! mind u, theyl start production on the new packaging straight away and have them on ebay within a week! aggghhh stupid fake ebay!!!

also if u have a pretty wee collection going its going to be a bummer as il want to get the ones i already have again just to make it look pretty!!i hate how im so attracted to packaging and making everything sit proper!

Re: new pigment packaging

Too bad they won't sell the old packaging for cheaper. That would be nice.
