I agree. I don't get the Twilight enthusiasm AT ALL. Maybe i'm getting old lol.

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.

I really hope it's not true! And my MA has misunderstood something! I haven't found anything with google about it

 

[Shoegal-fr]

Fingers crossed then!

No, seriously, it would be non sense if MAC intends to do that.

fingers crossed the pigments re-package won't happen then. remember earlier this year when they were 're-packaged'? they just changed the little plastic disc thing a little...

Did somebody not mention a while ago that most pigments in the UK are sold out because they cannot reorder and will change the packaging?
Am I imagining things?

If I remember correctly, it sounds like that they at least change the packaging.

only a couple are sold out on the uk site

I too will be upset if they change the pigments, mostly because I don't like having different sized containers.

But what I DO want is a sifter- everytime I use my pigments, I get so scared that it's gonna get knocked over and pour out into the sink or something.

hhmmm did you get circa plum pigment from rose romance? that was the first one to have a new styled disc! take a peek!

I was thinking earlier in the day,... didn't we got swatches and pictures of the two pigments in the All Ages, All Races, All Sexes collection??? Weren't they normal size and packaging???
The collection is released at the beginning of next year so I don't know what to think.

a resealable sifters would be ideal (like GOSH effect powders or maybe the kind on newer BE foundation).

not that i would use it direcly out of the jar anyways

I would be willing to pay a little extra for some kind of sifter in the same pigment containers in order to prevent mess.

I hate mess, and as most of you, love to have items in the same size. It helps organization!!!

If you ever come to France/Germany/Spain/Norway... don't look at the price tags, you'll have a heart attack.

trust me, it's nothing compare to the ridiculous price they charge in China.

iirc, limited edition pigments are 300 rmb each, that's about $45 USD

 

[purrtykitty]

Is it possible that the new pigment sizes are for the new Crushed Metal Pigments?

 

[Shoegal-fr]

That sucks!! But i wonder how it compares - buying power wise - between countries...

That's not dumb at all!

I think you might hold the key to the plot!

If i'm not mistaken, metallic pigments already are less than 7.5g for the same price?

I think some may be...the only metal pigment I have is Platinum, but it's 7.5g, so who knows? I wanted to get a couple more metal piggies when I was at the Pro store in NYC, but they were all out!
