WOWZA. NO WAYYY AM I PAYING THAT MUCH FOR A JAR OF PIGMENT.
And pull off lid? Tall skinny jars? OMG, that's a nightmare waiting to happen - tall skinny jars are so much easier to knock over than short fat jars, and pull-off lids...I don't even want to think about it - powder flying everywhere each time you open the thing. Ewww.
What is MAC trying to do? Package it such that we spill more of our powders and have to buy more? Is that how they imagine we'll finally finish our jars of pigments? :X

You wonder why? Seems to me that they're kinda wanting to screw us these days... instead of the jars.

I agree. I think they are too. But that's also because I do in fact see threads in the picture. Maybe they've just been blurred out a bit in the promo pic.

They already did it with the newer lip products and they were hits so of course they're going to do it with other products. Time to stock up and not buy any pigments with new packaging.

Would the size of 7.5g stay the same but the price would increase 67% a jar would cost $32,50 instead of $19,50. I wonder who would pay so much more for the same thing and my guess is no one. It is just so much easier to decrease the amount of product but keep the price... the average customer sure won't notice and those hardcore MAC addicts/lovers.. well they will buy anyway. I wonder if this is how MAC thinks. I can't imagine what would justify such a tremendous increase. I doubt that their production costs have gone up so much that MAC made such a steep decline over the last years with the 7.5g Pigments that a 67% increase now is necessary. The more I think about it.. the more bitter I am. |
