I had a look at the pressed pigments site - I press all my own pigments and those pans look really shallow for 3/4 tsp of pigment.....

I bought Crystal Rose lipglass from there recently and it was the real deal. There is a thread about it somewhere where a girl here vouches for the other girl who runs the site. Seems like a legit operation

I wouldnt.... like I said I press my own and 3/4 tsp is actually quite a lot of pigment!!! When you consider there are only around 3tsp in a full jar 3/4 tsp is *almost* 1/3 of an entire jar - you see those pans are pretty shallow for that much pigment.....I would think by comparion to my own theres prob around 1/2 tsp or less in some of those pans.

Heres a link to anyone interested in doing it themselves - super easy!!

They ship first class international (up to 1lb), priority and express. My gloss was shipped first class and cost $7.75 and it was here in like 3 days. Really really quick! I'm thinking of getting a few more things next pay

My experience with ACW was great. I paid $25 to ship 4 things and got them within a week.
Smartpoppy and cyberemporium are good too.

so ACW is definitely legit?

I was talking to MrsMay about it the other day after ordering something there, and she mentioned some places doing fake HK stuff, and I started freakin' out ...

Had so many bad past experiences with online sites and counterfeits
