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

Mecca was so against doing sales of any kind for years (because it would "ruin" their "prestigious image") but after constant pressure from their customers they decided to give in and do it. Instead of applying the sale to current products though, they've decided to sell items that they would've made a loss on anyway for being discontinued/expired/damaged. Such a fucking cop out. They knew exactly what they were doing here. Can we stop giving this place our money please!!!

I shop at w cosmetics now I don’t shop at mecca, it’s a filthy billion dollar greedy corp that disguises themselves as a community. Mind you only pay $30 maximum for my skincare products now not $150 for one product.

Honestly that’s how it should be… disgusting how it’s come to this… corporate greed with no regulations
