Re: MAC - Hello Kitty Feb 2009 Discussion
Anyone else worried they'll use 'stickers' on the Hello Kitty packaging, like they did with Fafi and now what looks like Dame Edna also? This is what I think.
I have a feeling one of the reasons Fafi had cheap printed plastic packaging on the make-up itself, is because of all the money they spent on the cardboard box packaging. It was white with multi coloured images all over it.
If you look at the box Barbie loves Mac come in it was similar to M.A.C's usual packaging black with a pink Barbie head on it. It costs extra money for different colours etc when printing these things.
If M.A.C had spent less money on T-shirts, Scarfs and Dolls when releasing Fafi, they may have been able to afford imprinted fafi goods.
I would say M.A.C has a yearly budget and this is why I think they have cut corners on the cosmetics and simply used 'stickers' instead on imprinted pictures on their Fafi collection.
Which is really annoying BTW!
Lets hope they don't get too wrapped up in selling Hello Kitty T-shirts, plush toys and tote bags, and focus on what really matters. The cosmetics they we will collect, cherish and use daily. That is were the money should be spent. I want pretty colours, rhinestones and all the goodies on the actual cometic not on the cardboard box, that I'll most likely throw away.
That's just my 2 cents
