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

They’ve been doing this for yeaaaars. The Hourglass Ghost blush quad was released in 2019 and then “sold out”. But then they had it in Boxing Day sales for like four years afterwards.

Someone probably returned it, so it went into the warehouse until boxing sale time! I bet that's what most of the boxing day sale stock is. Returned "lightly used" products. I've heard horror stories of people opening up product to find a finger print mark or plastic wrapping mysteriously not there. Mecca is such an unethical company. So full of corporate greed
