MAC - All Ages, All Races, All Sexes Discussion

Those new jars look so fake. I'd really like to see a comparison between the old and new jars.

ETA: I was just going to call MACPro to place an order for the last 5 pro pigments I'd been dragging my feet on, but the call center is closed due to the big snowstorm back east.

Oh glad I got my call in yesterday. Sorry you can't that is poo.

Oh man, I HATE those jars. So tiny!!!

I guess I will have to get 2 jars to fill one of my cleaned B2M jars and I might have enough for a little sample for travel.


*****F A I L*****

The new pigment jar looks tiny and I cannot believe that it's smaller than the MAC nail polish bottles!! So going to purchase some full size pigments before they change the size!

 

[abbyquack]

Blah, the new packaging is horrid!! I think I will only be buying these from the CCOs from now on, a $20 price tag is outrageous for these!!

I might be writing a letter to MAC about this.

Just to put MAC's pricing in a little bit of perspective, even with the downsize of the pigments, they're still a pretty good value. Illamasqua's pigments are $24USD for 1.3g!!

In comparison to the sizes of other brands an amount of 4.5g still sounds good but because I assume that MAC also made profit with the 7.5g jars I do find this high increase with the price that stays the same pretty rude.

Went back to pro last night to get my Love Lace and took a pic of the new vs old pigment jars. Even the MA's weren't happy of the new size bc the price stayed the same.

I am now on a mission to stock up on my fave pigments and the ones i've had on my list forever....

I don't want to be mean but.. MAC:

Seeing the new... so called jar.. next to the cute old jar makes me even more sad.

AND the bastard is TALLER so it won't fit in my current storage scheme AT ALL!!!

They could have at least put the MAC sign more in the middle! A MA at my MAC was saying how people were so excited about the new ones because they complained that they had too much product. wth? yeah Id be excited if I paid less.

Even though I ordered over the phone I am considering going to pro this week anyway if I can find time. I know I have a problem but I am panicked.

That and I want to see these abominations for myself.

Right?! I mean sure it

that the amount was reduced, the price stayed the same, the jar won't fit with the old jars and the new "improved" bottle design will lead to even more spill incidents due to the hight of the container and

lid... BUT THEY COULD AT LEAST MAKE IT LOOK NICE AND NOT

FAKE! But this disasterous placement of the logo... It just screams fake, cheap and ugly!

GAH!

That felt good
