I can't wait for this (i know, i know. A complete 180 from the original launch)! The lime and the darker colours are what I'm most excited about!!!

Weird. As far as i can tell, the Pressed Pigments are not just flying off the shelves. And lots of people complain about glitter fall out.
I have several and i'm happy with them - although i've been using Too Faced Shadow Insurance Glitter Glue to make them behave better.
You pros out there, is there really a big demand for more Pressed Pigments?

Not for the everyday customer there isn't. For pros, yes! I went to my former counter for a CP and a lady brought hers in, broken, saying that it broke after she started carrying it around in her purse. 1. Why would you carry that in your purse!? 2. She obviously didn't read the information. 3. The person who sold it to her must not have warned her about the fragility of it when she bought it. Needless to say, it wasn't returned or exchanged, as mac isn't allowing returns/exchanges for broken PPs.

The original ones in the summer 2012 Face & Body collection are still available on US MAC on-line - Makeup > Face > Multi-Use > Pressed Pigments
-- Light Touch - High pearl powder in W10 shade
-- Warming Heart - High pearl powder in NW20 shade
-- Day Gleam - High pearl powder in NC30 shade
-- Beaming - High pearl powder in NC50 shade
-- Deeply Dashing - High pearl powder in NW55 shade
Or go to Makeup > Eyes > Pressed Pigments - for all those above, plus charcoal black, deep silver, off-white, and 6 colors. While i imagine stock in stores may vary, they are all perm.

Thanks, Erine. I know that MAC started as a company oriented to pro makeup artists and they still have a lot of purely pro oriented products. So i thought this might be one of those products that pros can use better than the rest of us amateurs

They should've made these PRO perm as opposed to perm everywhere. That way it still would be able to be purchased by everyone, but it'd be labeled as more of a pro product.

OK, i double checked and of these Warming Heart and Beaming are listed as Limited Edition. These have been around since last August, and they are not in the Goodbyes section, but who knows how long they'll be around.

As of recently I've found myself wanting at least 3 Pressed Pigments. Beaming, Deeply Dashing and Jet Couture. In that order. If Beaming is listed as LE I'd better hurry and get it.

Beaming is one of my favorites!

Really Richelle? I really need to get it. Before recently I never wanted any Pressed Pigments at all. Now I find myself really wanting them.

Okay, I'm getting ready to order Beaming right now since it's obviously LE. I'll see how I like it and then go from there with the PP's.

My Beaming PP has shipped. Can't wait to try it. What brushes are you all using to apply them? I think I remember liba, I think it was liba, not totally sure though, saying those new applicators work well with them. I don't think I plan on buying these though. Which brush have you all found to be best with the Pressed Pigments?
