I reallllly hope not... I got one from a reputable eBay seller with a ton of feedback, one from eBay, with good feedback, but not a ton.

TEAL:::

Came without a box from eBay, she has good feedback, but not a ton. I know some pigments came with just batch numbers, but everytime I see a teal pigment, it looks different that mine, color wise and I know all computers are different.

Cornflower:

I've seen this one listed as Cornflower & Cornflower Blue, were there 2 shades or anything? I'm pretty sure it's real, I just wanna be re-assured haha

Your cornflower is fine, but your "teal" is definitely fake, sorry

Read the sticky guide in this counterfeit forum on how to spot fakes - the cardinal sign here is the black base sticker with no name, it just has a number. The sticker should either be clear or silver and should have a name as well as a number. Can you name the seller please so others can avoid them too. The colour is WAAAAAAAY off as well

Oh - and I dont know who told you pigments only came with batch numbers and not names - sorry, load of crap......

Teal is definitely fake judging by the thickness of the base of the jar AND the "batch code/numbers only" label on the bottom of the jar.

AND EEEEEKS!!! NO AND NEVER WILL authentic MAC Pigments and MAC Products come with only batch numbers!!!

Here's the Sticky on Identifying fake MAC Pigments.
