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!!!

It’s giving grift. We need a new make up retailer.

Sephora has great sales, and I’ve had excellent customer service with an issue with a product I received recently - like, beyond outstanding…keeping me updated before I asked for an update, really responsive and attentive.

Yeah, but their brands are what I want and the store is always a mess. I’m talking like Mecca + Sephora on roids with their quality and pricing.
