Dear MAC ~

Dear MAC,

As an ardent fan of yours, and as a devoted fan of blushers, I have waited for your Grand Duos collection with bated breath. From the first glimpse I had of the gorgeous blush collection, I could. not. wait. for it to reach our Malaysian shores.

The pictures were tempting, and the blushers looked stunningly beautiful. It was a collection I knew I HAD to get my hands on. Blush addicts had been buzzing about these duos long before they were even out.

But before I go any further about this collection, I will have you know that I own 16 of your blushers (and counting), three of your MSFs, many eyeshadows and many many lipsticks. So you can rest assured I speak as great fan of your products.

So it was with great hurry that I tore over to a MAC counter in town the moment I heard that the Grand Duos were out. And they were everything the photos had promised them to be.

HOWEVER.

I am buying NONE of them. Why? Because your prices are a real cut-throat, that's why.

I am disappointed in you, MAC. At a time of economic recession (so bad it has the potential to dethrone the Great Depression), you dare come up to customers with a price tag of RM95 for a blush? Seriously MAC. SERIOUSLY.

I am terribly sorry, but you are not getting my money this time. I adored the Grand Duos collection, and I still adore it, but I am not forking out RM95 for a blush, duo or not. Gorgeousness will only carry it so far, and a ridiculously placed price tag will not help this collection. Even at RM85, I might have purchased a couple. But at RM95, nice try.

As such, I am boycotting this collection. Blush Princess or no.

And MAC, I do hope you will deeply consider your price-tags for future releases. It cannot bode well for MAC if your customers can no longer buy MAC products at leisure.

Yours disappointedly,
Syen

PS: All who agree, say I.
