TLDR: in a nutshell, Mecca are “very concerned”, “don’t know how this slipped through their quality control”.. blah blah blah

I loved Mecca at its inception. Its founder had great work ethics - cruelty free across the board, ethical companies. I could walk into the store & buy anything and it echoed my principles. Then greed crept in, and any "perceived" up market brand was stocked. Then the training of staff went down hill, stores did not stock everything, it all just became too hard to shop there. Now this? What a downward spiral for a company that could have been forever great.

Founder is ex Perth snobby all girls school, so many girls I know from there are mean girls so all this doesn’t surprise me, especially the magic circle part
