I love how all the MAC kiss asses think that it’s fine for a huge cosmetics company to name their products after a town in Mexico Juarez where women between ages 12 and 22 are were getting raped and murdered?? Yes it seems that if you are a big corporate company who can come up with any name for their products and not care that Femicide happened there. MAC didn’t have to name the nail varnishes “Juarez” and “factory” where most of the women who got killed worked in the factories in the town. The fact is MAC SHOULD KNOW BETTER Yes they wouldn’t call anything rape or name something after 9/11 as that’s just offensive but to name things after a place where Femicide happened that’s ok right that’s perfectly fine! WELL it isn’t fine by me it’s more or less ignoring the fact that this happened and family’s lost their daughters sisters and mothers and the murders still go on while MAC make money out of this! AND NO I won’t be buying anything from MAC after this they were boring me anyway but MAC should have known better yup! Also read this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_homicides_in_Ciudad_Juárez and this http://takenbythesky.net/juarez/jindex.html for more information thank ya end of rant you may now carry on doing what you are doing! THANK YOU

Yes appretly it’s ok to name nail varnish “Juarez” and “Factory” never mind the killings of the women who work in the factorys of Juarez I mean that’s perfectly fine isn’t it? Where the “The estimated homicide toll is speculated by authorities to be about 400  but many local residents believe that the true count of los feminicidios stands at an estimated 5,000 victims. Most of the cases remained unsolved as of 2003, and are still unsolved today” and also the victims of the femicide are between 12 and 22!

YES 12 years old in the UK and America that’s called child abuse right??

The thing is MAC are a corporate company who probbably have advisors on what to name these product so are you telling me that nothing alerted them that this maybe offensive to people?? HELLOOOOO was that person on holiday or something?!

The thing is I love make up but I have very strong feelings about any company that take something like this and disregard the history and the reality of what is going on in that city. The fact that someones child, cousin, mother, sister was taken away and the fact that people are still getting murderd.

I know what you are thinking WHY should this affect you! WELL if this sort of thing was happening down your road people being abused murderd mutilated you’d want to stop it and I’m not saying that you shouldn’t by anything from this collection but open your eyes to why people are upset about it.

I’m sorry MAC you fail on this one and saying you’ll give only a portion of profits to help the needy in Juarez it’s kinda like putting a band aid over  a wart and hoping that by ignoring the fact that you have done this it’ll go!

I wont be buying from MAC anymore just not coz of this but they are becoming BORING and nothing is new on there and just so you know I do support a lot of human right organisationsin any way that I can and I’ll say it again I don’t believe that any huge corporate company should ever take advantage of something like that has and is happening in the city of Juarez.
