i 'm super pissed off.

I just got to know through an MA that DON'T BE SHY BLUSH and one of the lippie from the barbie collection will NOT be coming to my country (barbie is not launched in my country yet)....

i'm super unhappy....because when i asked why isn't it coming, the MA couldn't give me an answer for it.

Darn it...i love DON'T BE SHY blush....... I

$#%#$%#$%#^%$^% I m losing my patience with MAC. This isn't the only thing that i'm not happy with MAC.

i Love their select tint...but MAC made it a LE release in my country with Catherine denevue collection...but it's regular in the US.. BAH!

The ultracheek blushers are regular in the US...BUT LE in my country.
WTF.... their excuse? Our market is too small............HELL man...

sorry for this rant...i'm very very disappointed with MAC.

Really?? This is geeko from cozycot, ya?
I hope that is not true though... but I mean, the displayer has the same number of "slots" so if it is not coming, then what are they going to put there? Something from the regular line, a repromote? :?

I hear your pain,.. I get all buggered up about the Asian releases that I sometimes miss,.. my suggestion,.. form a good CP relationship (or trader rating here) with someone in the US and then you will be set,.. and you can always watch the for sale/swap board here,..

you got mad at the MA for not knowing why it wont be released? thats kinda unfair. they dont tell us exact reasoning as to why something isnt being released somewhere...

usually its a vague reason like "this color/product wont sell well overall in this country..." they look at statistics. which is why the lightful collection wasnt brought here to the US permanently. only pro has just gotten it and just recently too...

She never said anywhere in her thread that she was mad at the MA! She said she was pissed off MAC wasn't releasing certain items into her country because she was really counting on them. She did say she was unhappy to not be able to learn more product info; but she didn't say she thought it was the fault of the MA....

i m not pissed with the MA... i'm just not happy with MAC's management.

aLthough my country is a small one, how can they bring in DBS blush to other parts of the world and exclude my country out, without a valid reason? I've sent them an email and i'm waiting to hear what they have to say about it.

Honestly speaking, i have this feeling that they are not bringing in DBS blush because firstly our market is small, and that they prioritize other markets than ours. BOO!

It's not the first time (that's y i'm pissed). It happened with my favourite MAC select tint which is regular in other countries but LE in my country ...and the ultracheek blushers are LE in my country too. :X And we don't have the full range of regular pigments in the country as well - reason being the pigments won't sell well. It's all about $$$$ for EL. There are no empty palettes for sale at our freestanding store either so i can't depot my e/s unless i go overseas and buy those empty pan palettes from there.

Anyway, i've resigned to my fate. I'd just have to skip DBS blush then, anyway i've other pink blushers...but this is such a huge disappointment.

That's the bottom line...the company will market and stock what they believe will sell best in each particular market. They spend a ton of money doing market research in order to support this. They're in business to make money, plain and simple. It's just not profitable to accomodate every single MAC (or other line) customer..which sucks for people who don't have access to the complete product line...

Im from New Zealand, and our market isn't exactly big.. Yet we have Dont be shy blush here. We also don't have the full range of pigments at the only Counter where I live, Pigments are LE. Like you I also Have to go overseas to get empty pan palettes, So I understand why your upset... But Like other people have said there are other ways to get things.

I was shocked to find the other day that my Counter has the Dollymix quad which Most places in America aren't getting, So i guess we sometimes get things they don't get over there.

"i'm super unhappy....because when i asked why isn't it coming, the MA couldn't give me an answer for it."

am i missing something... hmm.. if you say you are super unhappy that the MA couldnt give you an answer, then ya im assuming youre upset with the MA.

dont be shy is not even that different from a lot of other blushes we have anyway. i know its upsetting when things dont come to your country but as someone else pointed out, its MARKETING. they are a business and its gonna be run like a business.
in my area we dont sell uppity brands at our department stores because the area i live in doesnt have a high median gross income to buy such things. even though there are people who would buy them from here (ahem like me) we still have to travel elsewhere to get them.

I'm not sure what country you're in due to your post... but I have a pretty simple explanation... because its' just two items and not the whole collection it sounds to me like an ingredient in them isn't allowed to be sold for cosmetic purposes in your country.
Cosmetics regs in most countries are super super stringent and often there is no consistency to the policies from country to country.
Many times these regs, while they're there to protect public safety, have some endless bureaucratic red tape nonsense that has to go on and it's just not reasonable for the company to go thru with it and make the launch date.
So... your anger at MAC may be misguided. I'm thinking your government said No.
And MAC likely won't say anything about it because the company needs to have a good relationship to continue to ship and sell foreign goods abroad.

aww that sucks! Yeah usually business prioritises money because without it there is no business =[

I too am pissed off at MAC because theyr products arent working for me and they keep on switching me to diff things. Im tired of returning things! thats not my style! They sent me free blot film but I didnt want it or even asked for it!

I ordered teal pig online n the jar wasnt full in quantity!
UGh

ALso when I went to a free standing MAC a MUA was helping me
n he had to get somehting from the back, and he told me to go ahead n browse around for more items.. I did n i picked up 3 eyeshadows n had them in my hand when this other MUA taps me in the shoulder and tells me "are u planning to pay for those?"
like I was gonna steal it!! UGH yeah
that was the last they saw of me..
I lvoe mac but it has been disapointing me!
