I think they use to be $32.00, but regardless, Canada has officially been hit by the price hike. I think they changed the prices when they updated the MAC website to add the Colour Craft Collection. However it seems that products which are not from this collection haven't been changed yet. Fix + is still at $20.00, eyeshadow is still at $17.00.

With the way this is going by the time they re-release Stereo Rose and Pleasureflush it'll be overly expensive and not many people (including myself) will be able to buy them. They're too much as it is imagine when they decide to do this (as mentioned above.) *Shakes head in disbelief*

the price increase happened in the uk last week and some items went up by quite a bit! msf's are now £19 when they were £17 and dazzleglasses are £14. good job i won't be buying anymore of them for a while!

sucks because i wanted to buy so much more from colour craft

 

[ashschu]

They really don't make it easy for us to fuel our obsession do they?

 

[Almost black.]

As much as I like MAC, it is quite expensive for me since I have to buy it online (we don't have MAY in Croatia) which means I have to pay the product + shipping

And now if they increase their prices I really doubt I'll buy MAC any time soon.

Urghh the increase sucks!
I'm a bit strapped for cash after my holiday, i return to find color craft is already here in the UK and now this! MAC you really aren't helping me out here!

This hike is scary.

I'll only get MAC on Duty free from now onwards - and only in the States where it's cheaper.
So annoying, I will be buying about a third less of MAC than I used to now to compensate. Way to go, MAC - not

You took the words right out of my mouth! Don't get me wrong, I understand price increases need to happen. Inflation, wages, research and development, etc. I know where all the money goes.

But as Erine says - most cosmetic manufacturers introduce these price hikes slowly and gradually every year. They don't get greedy and slap on a $2/£2 increase or even more on top every 6 months!

I cannot believe the rate at which MAC makeup prices are going up. In two years time it will probably cost something in the region of $50/£40 for a foundation - we're talking more than Chanel prices here!

Do they realise who their target market is anymore? I don't want to discriminate or make a sweeping statement, but when I go to a MAC counter 95% of the customers that are there are teenagers or women in their 20s-30s, i.e. women with minimal budgets, 9 times out of 10.

MAC has a VERY loyal following, even after the years of price hiking so far, people have stuck with them (obviously all if not most Specktrites!). But if they carry on the way they are, the loyal devotees won't have the money to support them anymore!

sorry to resurrect an old thread, but i wanted to let ya'll know that the price increase goes into affect tmrw, july 31st at macy's, and august 1st at all other locations.

i don't yet know what or how much the increase is, but its gonna be there.

 

[Cleopatruh]

[sleepyhead]
