That's why I don't really think it's true... At least I really really hope not. I would seriously cool off of Mac if that's the case. It's just ridiculous. Price increases are normal, but that's why too much :/

I would hope it isn't true but I wouldn't be surprised if it is. If any of the prices for ingredients increased...or their shipping costs (they might use this to compensate for the free shipping they give non-pro customers now...at least U.S. customers...not sure about everywhere else). That's why I wouldn't be shocked at all. We had to know that the "gift" of free shipping without needing a code couldn't truly be free...MAC might just be collecting their fee with the bigger price increase this time. Let's hope it's just a rumor though

From the pictures only Riri Boy and maybe Barbados Girl but Heaux looks way too much like Rebel which I already own and the change in finish isn't enough to make me want a dupe.

Depends back in which day.
There was a time when Revlon was about where MAC is today, in terms of quality (at the time) and market.

Right. They are NOT a luxury brand so they shouldn't try to start pricing themselves as if they were. Before you know it they'll be $20, then $22, then $25. I'm not expecting things to stay the same because I know prices go up, the cost of living, all of that. But will the prices go up while the brand stays the same?

Back in MY day. Mid-late 70's, early 80's when I was a young girl trying to get her first taste of makeup (gloss, shadow).
