i just want to run this by your guys before i jump to conclusion again.
look at these boxes.
1. to me, some of the lids look shinier than normal, but the pigment color look pretty close
i thought this was real, but you can see how shiny the lid is in the "group" picture above
2. some (not all) of the boxes have cuts on each side of the top flap where you stick it back into box (if that makes any sense, i circled it in the picture). all of mine only seem to have that on the bottom, not the top. do mac have both kinds? cuz, again, some of the colors actually looked right
and here are some more
3. in the same store, some of the colors/texture look kinda off. take a look at these.
maybe it's the picture, but my rose gold is much finer and less grainy than that.
you can see teal looked really weird in the picture at the top of this post, and here's a close up of a weird chartreuse
i was also told that some of the pigments/glitters are made in japan (all of mine have are either made in US or Canada), do you guys know if that is true? do they only supply those to asia or something?
i'm sooo confused right now... please HELP!!!
ps: were the pro metal pigment used to be 2.5g? the faq artical says they are 2.5g each, but all the ones i brought from the pro store say 7.5g (i have 3 of them)
