I was wondering, when you say burned into, does it kinda have that 'engraved' feeling. Or is it just flat ink printed on the box?
TIA!

So far I have received lipglass, lustreglass, eyeshadow, Studio Fix, blush and lipstick in the new packaging. Only a couple of colours but they are all of current perm products (I don't have my Naked Honey yet). It appears that they are changing all items over slowly depending on when they have to produce a new batch. The Naked Honey launch was the first full launch in the new packaging.
I was trying to get a statement from MAC about the new packaging before I posted but they were taking their time answering me!
I like the new packaging as well but it will take some time before everything you see is in the new packaging. I'm sure they have quite a bit of stock still in the old packaging. It looks "cleaner" if that makes sense. No more labels that can get damaged.

I love the new packaging too and I am curious how the packaging feels where the name and barcode are printed.
But I think the fakers probably will be able to fake this sooner or later too. The money that they can make with the fakes makes it probably worth to invest in new machines or to edit the print of the packaging.

Aesthetically it does look better. However, is there a sticker on the bottom of the actual shadow like the old packaging?
It would really suck money balls if it wasn't. I use those stickers in my palettes to name the shadows. It's much prettier that way IMHO.

I like to use the sticker from the outside of the box to put on my depotted shadows. They fit the magnet size I use better. Doesn't matter--I'll be trying to buy all my shadows in the pan form now--unless they come from the CCO. Does anyone know if collection shadows can be bought in the pan? Quote:

wow! That F&F sale has damaged my brain! I totally forgot I posted this question
You guys are awesome! Thanks for all the answers!
Wondering though - I almost think these would be easier to counterfeit than with the stickers - especially since like Tish noticed, that we see a bunch with the same batch numbers. Did we notice if the UPC codes are different? (i'll go back and look).
I got my first shipment of F&F stuff in today, so I'm gonna go see how much of that has the new boxes.

The batch code is just the month and year that the product was produced. For a new collection it would make sense that a lot of the items would have the same batch code as they would probably have been made at around the same time; certainly within the same month.
I have Tempting & Soft Force both from Style Warriors and they both have B19 batch code. That just means they were both produced in January of 2009.
As for the barcodes I had a Vex in the old packaging and one in the new packaging and they have kept the barcodes the same. So the old product barcodes will be the same they will just be imprinted onto the new packaging instead of a label.
