LOL,. joytheobscure,. you won't have to work very hard to convert them once they try it,..I buy MK,.. but I really ONLY like their skincare and that is what they are good at,.. as far as their color line,,,. they are trying,.. they recently brought in Robert Jones (works on the Dixie Chicks and Sheryl Crowe) and are really trying to get better,... but I don't see them as being any less "Granny-Colored" (Too many neutral colors and very little accents) in the near future,.. but I must say the Miracle Set Anti-aging does work if you use it,...
But as far as color,.. I have systematically eliminated most other brands and replaced it all with MAC over the past 2 years,.. I now pretty much on have a tiny bit of other stuff,.. like Guerlain's Meteorites,..some Milani, All my True Colors Mica of course,.. etc,.. but I have started to addict my two best friends,... and I help enable another junkie that is a specktra user,.. unfortunately neither of us can help ourselves,.. and I have converted many random people off the streets,.. they compliment me on my MU and I say "Oh,.. its all MAC,..ya know they have a store right down close to the Body Shop" and off that person will run in that direction,...or say something like "I go to the fashion mall alot,.. I gotta get some of that next time". I LOOOVE my MAC. (Shh,.. we wont tell them that 75% of my stuff is all LE)
