A shambles - M.A.C/Rodarte

Like many people I was a M.A.C lover, I wasn't one of those obsessed by collections feeling the urge to feed their habit with every new product available I just respected M.A.C for providing a professional make-up easily accessible to the non pros making us feel equally as good.

Although M.A.C isn't cheap people flock to their nearest stores sometimes travelling miles just to get some of their make-up. The ever changing collections and high profile celebs draw us all in and it becomes more a case of buying it because it's new not because we need it. 

M.A.C has transformed make-up into affordable designer accessories as when you see your compact with a designers logo or signature you feel you have a bit of designer in your bag.

I have heard a few whispers the past couple of days surrounding M.A.C and the new Rodarte collection and that people are boycotting the whole range. Personally I thought it was because the collection was poor as it sometimes can be but what I have read tonight turns my stomach. I feel we have been let down by these 2 giants of the make-up/fashion world by making a mockery of someones miss fortune. Peoples loss and unhappiness. While they sit in their big fat chairs raking in millions from their fans the poor people that apparently gave them the inspiration for the ghostly image are working 20 hour days.

To say that you were inspired by the landscape of Mexico to deign this collection makes me wonder why there is a colour called "factory" and what was so inspiring by a seeing a women looking frail and so tired she was zombie like.

I won't go into the whole story surrounding Juarez as there's so many amazing blog posts explaining this, they're flooding in this evening.

I haven't seen the collection but I have seen the promo pic and everything about it disturbs me. The ghostly figure just makes me think of these really unfortunate women or those who were brutally murdered.

To try make money from others miss fortune is sick, heartless, greedy and sad. 

Speaking to a M.A.C worker less than 10 mins ago she told me that the whole layout to M.A.C has changed. She tells me all the big bosses have left and moved on to bigger companies and they are employing anyone and everyone. She used to feel proud working for such a fantastic company now it seems their whole ethics is money.When I asked her what was going on she didn't have a clue so after sourcing all the info she is absolutely shocked!

I will go to bed tonight annoyed, sick to my stomach and let down. If my kit wasn't made up of around 40% M.A.C I'd throw it all out.

Rodarte and M.A.C should hang their heads in shame. Never mind a small proportion going to help the workers how about all the money made on this disgraceful collection should be donated.

I wouldn't keep it if it was in a lucky bag. It's dirty and marked with bad feelings and utter disrespect.

I wanted to reflect my own opinion and let them know how stunned we all are.

I am really reflecting tonight and have realise how much of this is going on!
