Annoyed at price hike, esp for UK

[EmilyIsElectric]

I know, I'm sure they were 12 pounds before?
Lipsticks were about ten and now they're twelve. I wouldn't be too annoyed if they put them up about 50p or something, but two pounds is stupid!

Oh wow.. You all have NO idea how cheap these prices are sounding compared to what I have to pay.. We pay $120 for an eyeshadow!.. Which is $60 US.. I'm hoping a price increase doesn't affect us!

I've decided to make a MAC palette of my own and the pan refills are cheaper than the actual eyeshadows (and I'd rather not fork out so much and then have them stop B2M totally). I don't want to buy off the website as I can't tell colours clearly so I was wandering if you could get the pan refills from the MAC concession in Selfridges in Oxford Street?

custom duties on Cosmetics should be abolished!!

Yup.. It's insane! And no, no CP.. I don't really want to put out anyone or anything.. I'm pretty used to the prices though.. I just save up money just for that and go on a huge spree .. Lol.. So, you can only imagine how it is when I travel!!

 

[LMD84]

yeah i think i'd save up and buy it when travelling too! you must need a mini case to bring it all home with you!

Aww, thanks for taking the time to ask

I am going to Selfridges tomorrow and will trek it on down to the Pro Store.

Just another noobish question, can you get all the potted shadows in pan form? Because I don't really want to shell out extra money and damage the shadow when it's going into a palette anyway.
