some MAC questions

[Chic 2k6]

lol sorry for all these topics asking questions on MAC, i thought up some more.

1. I'm getting Fuschia Pigment for xmas and i recently saw on the PRO site there's Bright Fuschia Pigment, whats the difference between the two? and could there be any swatches to show the differences, they appear to look the same in the pot in pics.

2. How come pigments get reformulated, and what the difference between the old pigment such as Dark Soul and the new Dark Soul?

3. Can i apply for PRO discount? I do make up jobs for my friends parties and families and also I'm a part time photographer.

4. I was looking at my MAC labels on products and i noticed some of them have AC5, AB6 etc... i know the chart goes A is first production 1-12 is the month and the rest is year, but why AC5? etc...

TIA for these questions!!!

not sure about the other questions, but for the date code, there's only 1 digit for months, so A=oct, B=Nov, C=Dec. hence ac5=first production of decemeber 2005. me think

Pigments get reformed usually to improve on the texture, or they make it eye-safe/lip-safe, all that jazz.
