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

Re: new pigment packaging

I compared Circa Plum to Silver (pro) so the gram measurement is slightly different since it's a metal based pigment. Please let me know if I should adjust the sizes or if anyone would like additional pics.

I hate the jar of the solar bits, It is easy to spill them..

If anyone else has a 2009 batch of another color let us know how the insert is. The other ones I got were 2008 or under so so far circa Plum is the only one I've seen so far like this.

I visited the MAC store in Hamburg yesterday with some friends. One of them is selling pigment samples and requestet a wholesale lot - unfortunatelly the MUA has to deny for several shades, because she can not order them anymore. What means: not available - discontinued.

She told us, that MAC is planning to resize the jars - maybe to the size of solar bits. Definitaly smaller! And I suggest for the same price. I can´t believe. Did anyone hear the same?

Yes, something to this effect has already been started:

But thanks for sharing! I guess we'll see what is happening for you all across the pond.....nothing like that is currently happening (AFAIK) in North America

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.

Yes, so do I. I don't have any more from 2009, but I know that the one I have is directly from MAC, and it's the same as yours.

I asked MP in Canada about the smaller jars and the gal said that the sales staff hasnt heard anything. My last order from MC I noticed the colors that are usually full to the top are now only 3/4-7/8 full but in the same size jars. Maybe they are going to use up their old stock of mfg jars and then change?? If they make them too small sample sellers will eventually be shutting down

My guess is that if they're smaller, they'll be the same price or even more. MAC loves to charge more money for less product.

Also, I hope this means lots of old packaging pigments will end up at CCOs.
