Oooooold MAC Pigments...are these authentic?

Ok, so I managed to snag pretty much full jars of wayyyy discontinued MAC Pigments in Brass, Copper, and Bronze.

My one question is, since I don't know what the old jars of MAC Pigments looked like, can anyone tell me if these jars are authentic? And if the pigments are?

From what I have seen the pigments in the jars are authentic, I just wondered if we had any MAC addicts with the original jars to compare to.

I took pics of just about everything I could think of to determine if they are real...let me know what you guys think!!

I offered her $75 for each jar, and she took it. I was surprised since I had seen them recently sold for over $100 on Ebay maybe a week or two before.

She had the original box for Copper but not the others and she said she had gotten them a while back at a CCO...

hmm well I dont know for sure for sure but really.. I know the bottoms are kinda off because mac normally makes them gray or see though (pro), glitter is sometimes black bottemed like that without the batch number... but yeah the box looks right the colors look right but the back or the jar.. I donno that and the bottom where it says the batch number looks really off to me.. so I cant say for sure

So far, the other pics of the pigments look right compared to the ones I have, so even if the jars are not original I don't mind...

The last jar pic though from LJ looks good though, that looks like the jars I have.

So far so good!

Yep... I think my number is at 107 MAC pigments now... I don't have 100% full jars of each though... Purple Matte I got a couple of weeks ago, and it is a little over half full.

Yes, these are authentic. I had some myself. They look different because they were from an older batch.
