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

Re: new pigment packaging

They are going to do what they did with the dazzleglasses I bet.

Make the packaging look awesome, but hold less product.

It helps the company make more money. It sucks for the consumer.

Re: new pigment packaging

yep i'm betting they pull a dazzleglass on us agian. which completely sucks!

on the plus side though we may find more pigments popping up in cco's in the old packaging now

Re: new pigment packaging

I'm on the MAC website at the mo and the only thing which comes up as being in the goodbyes section is eyeshadow, lippies, mascara and some other stuff..no piggies.

Re: new pigment packaging

weird. they were all in the goodbye bit a few weeks ago. maybe they have new packing already??

 

[RedRibbon]

Re: new pigment packaging

I checked the usual place where I find the piggies and they're still pictured in their old format, odd..

Re: new pigment packaging

^ Maybe the stores and counters still have stock of the old packaging to get through first?

Re: new pigment packaging

who knows? or maybe the lady who emailed me had wrong infomation? although surely they'd check before they sent me the reply??

Re: new pigment packaging

I hate when they do this! Just like Fix+--they got "new packaging" and went from 150ml to 100ml with the same price. What a ripoff!

Re: new pigment packaging

So I recently got an order from macpro and noticed a few differences between the two pigment jars I got. Good news because they are super subtle and contain the same amount of product 7.5 grams as the older models.

I'm not exactly sure if this is what the MAC email was regarding to the change in jars but I really hope so.

Anyone want comparison pics?

Re: new pigment packaging

Hi

Just to let people know I got a 2009 batch of Circa Plum from MAC PRO that has a very different plastic insert. It's still flat but thats about it. I dont want to give out to much info to help the fake sellers but want to know if anyone else got any 2009 Pigments. Both of mine of that color were 2009 as were some other people that emailed me asking about it. I dont know if it's just that color or all of there 2009's? I also wanted to let everyone know incase they got one and thought it was a fake.

The plastic insert of my Rose Romance Circa Plum is different to all of the plastic inserts of my other pigments too.

About posting pics of the new packaging.. I am not sure about it because it would help the fakers to be up to date.

^^^ I guess they would tell they still have the old ones...

But they wouldn't mind to know it when they want to fake new pigments.

Re: new pigment packaging

maybe this is all they meant after all! i guess it countas as packaging!

Re: new pigment packaging

I got circa plum too this year, from Rose Romance, and it did have the different insert, both the one in the store, and the one I brought. I forgot to check mutiny, as I already had it from Naughty Nauticals.

Re: new pigment packaging

[/IMG]Hey Cheryl noticed the difference too then because that's what I was comparing my other pigments too. Mutiny is the same (likely overstock from NN) but Circa Plum's insert is different and the texture of the cap is smoother than others. Also, I notice that the jar is just a tiny bit shorter than the others but could be due to a tighter seal on the new cap.
