WHAT!?!? Please, I seriously hope that's not true! Same price for less the half of product??? The very reason many people doesn't buy pigments is because they found them to be pricey. I'd hate smaller pigments but I'd understand it for less money!

That's pricey! Here I get them at $22 tax incluided, so it's no huge difference. But for half the price, i'm not sure they worth it.

Vanilla pigment is the best pigment to own and so sorry for the UK girls that didn't get to get them in the old packaging. I much prefer the 7.5g over the 3.5g.

Does this mean glitters are also changing? I need to stock up!

Whoa, that really stinks and will actually make me angry. My stuff won't match and that small size won't be enough to press a few pans and still have plenty in the damn jar. Oh, I will feel down right betrayed if this is true.

BOO! HISS!!!

edit: I just went and ordered 3 pigments I have been wanting but procrastinated on just in case that rumor is true. I need help.

Not all pigments are currently 7.5g.. the mattes are 2.5g and the richmetal pigments are 4.3g but if they will change the 7.5g pigments to 3.5g next year I will be mad.
Even now I refuse to pay the german retail for them and rather purchase them via CP.

On the other hand an amount of 7.5g is a lot and even for the current price a rather generous amount of product. Especially if you compare the amount to the Illamasqua Pure Pigments (1.5g), the MUFE Star Powders (~3g) or a Rouge Bunny Rouge loose glitter pigment (1.8g) which cost the same or even more.

But they also surely make profit with the 7.5g pigments so now MAC just wants to make even more profit.

Nonetheless OCD and wallet protecting-me are not ok with this.. not ok at all.

I've swatched Pink Opal at my MAC store and it's so pretty! I now want to order Pink Opal.

Yes, it is really beautiful. Even on the Cheeks as a Highlight

Totally, pink opal is my favorite! I love it as a highlight on my lips and a lip gloss.

That is why I returned Preciousness from Baroque Boudoir, all it is is a lipgloss with pink opal pigment in it!

If MAC does a Twilight collection, I'm seriously gonna loose all respect for them and prob won't buy from them anymore

. I also agree with Mabelle with the Feb collections since 2007: they have all been very low quality. I did not like Barbie, Fafi (except for paint pots) and the worst of all was HK. So HK2 is just gonna be annoying to me.

Anyway, I'm excited about the crushed pigments and annoyed that the pigments prices will go up. I mean I hardly buy any MAC anymore (Style Black excepted) but when I do I expect quality, innovation and better price than say Dior.

Really? Good to know! At first I wanted a lot of Baroque Boudoir. But since it's just online available, I will skip it completely.

I called MAC PRO in Paris. They haven't heard anything like that
