Hey Mugs – I just watched Wayne Goss’s video on this petition that Illamasqua is starting to get cosmetic companies to lower their prices in other countries that typically pay 50-100% more for cosmetics than we do here in USA. Link to video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQOJOULywH4 – they have a petition online (http://www.illamasqua.com/fairpriceforbeauty) that you can sign to have them reduce prices in Australia.
What do you guys think about this? I think it’s a great concept and it is definitely giving some ‘buzz’ for Illamasqua
This is something I often bitch about, but it really is very frustrating.
I live in NZ. When it comes to cosmetics I buy almost exclusively from non-NZ sites, in fact the only beauty items I purchase locally are native ingredients for DIY use. I understand that there are additional costs to be met with importing, but when I can buy it on eBay for half the price or less, including shipping, than what it’s being sold for locally, something ain’t right.
I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand it’s certainly brilliant marketing material, but I have to admit that I can’t help but be just a little impressed by the move. It’ll be interesting to see where this goes.
