Pigments being d/c'd?

[codename_psilla]

Anyone notice on the Cdn site that a bunch of pigments have the triangle next to them? Chocolate brown, Fairylite, Naked, Old Gold, Teal and Cornflower?

I'm pretty sure they are just being reformulated to eyesafe.

Odd, I don't see the TOD next to any of the perm. pigments when I'm on the MAC site...

 

[SocrateaseMe]

But the pigments listed are already eye-safe? Why would they need to be reformulated?

 

[knoxydoll]

I see it too on the cdn site... I hope they're not leaving I haven't had time to get those ones...

I see the triangle on the Canadian site too and posted in mac_cosmetics about it because I'm freaking out. I was under the impression Teal was already eye-safe... that's odd because the precautions list says it's not.

In any event, I hope this is temporary for reformulation or a mistake. If anyone gets more info on this, please post!

I just had a LiveChat, and here's what the MA had to say!

Caitlin: Hi Dianna!
Dianna: Hello Caitlin!
Caitlin: I just had a questions regarding some pigments that I hope you can answer!

Dianna: Sure, I can help!
Caitlin: On the Canadian website, some of the permanent pigments are listed with the little black triangle beside them. Particularly Teal, Old Gold, Cornflower, and other popular (or so I thought!) colours. Are they being discontinued?

Dianna: Not that I am aware of, let me take a look for you.
Caitlin: Thank you!
Dianna: There seems to be some type of error, as they are not on my discontinued list and are also not showing the triangle on the US site. Sorry about that. I will alert the tech team.
Caitlin: Oh, awesome! I thought maybe they were temporarily out of stock/being reformulated. I was so worried, I love Teal!
Dianna: Perhaps out of stock, yes, but not discontinued thankfully! I also adore Teal.
Caitlin: Great, thanks so much for your help!
Dianna: You're welcome!


Phew.

Glad I read Socrateaseme's post ~ I was ready to jump on Chocolate Brown and Naked and I'd hate to miss out.

(thanks for your live chat, doll!)

Ok sorry to bump this but does anyone have any new info?! I read on LJ that a girl went to a store and the MA said that Tael was on the d/c list but it was only being reformulated. Does anyone know anything about Old Gold?

I haven't had a chance to stop by the store yet.

you are correct,
we got a pigment safety list today at work listing what is safe for where and there is a note about them being reformulated so that MOST can be used on the eyes

i've been wearing teal on my eyes, and it hasn't given me any trouble yet.... so far.

 

[vickih]

know if they would only bring back COCO and COCO Beach

This thread is starting to decend into irrelevancy, so I'm closing it.

They haven't been discontinued, but there may be spadoric pulls or OOS notices as the distribution of reformulated pigments is rolled out. When in doubt, do a Live Chat.
