 My Dear Readers,

I am directly copying and pasting you the email i received, it is best to do this way, we want lots of girls, women to hear our voice and join us.


Hi everyone,

Apologies for the mass email. I've bcc'd you all for the sake of privacy. I'm getting in touch to let you know about a petition healingbeauty.co.uk has started. I know everyone is quite exhausted by the Rodarte-MAC affair this week, however, we wanted to give it one last push.

We feel that $100,000 is not enough of a contribution from such a vast global company. We also think that changing the product names in the collection will only sweep the issue under the carpet for MAC and does nothing to raise awareness of the femicides and exploitation in Juarez.

Here's the petition which explains this fully - http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/macrodarte/

If you are on board, it would be wonderful if you could help spread the word. You could do this in a number of ways (do all, or one, or none - it's your choice of course):

1) Write a quick blog post to alert your readers of the petition, linking to: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/macrodarte/

2) Tweet this link to your followers and ask them to support the cause: http://bit.ly/macrodartepetition

Something like this would work well:  'Please help make a long-term commitment to the women of Juarez: http://bit.ly/macrodartepetition #rodartemac'

3) Sign it yourselves!

Many, many thanks for what you've all done already. If you don't wish to participate any further I completely understand. If you do, that's fantastic. 

There's no need to reply to this email unless you wish to speak to me directly about something in particular.

Best wishes,Laura

I did a bid search on eye shadow  & Mascara bases and primers.

Here are some worth to try

 

Guerlian Ombre Eclat Eye Primer

A versatile formula that treats and beautifies: Using a neutral skin colour, a radiant beige, this unifying base was specifically created to prime the skin for makeup and guarantee perfect hold. It is also formulated as a treatment enriched with smoothing and moisturizing agents, in order to protect the delicate skin on the eyelids from the damaging effects of time and environment. It smoothes and revives the eyes at once, creating the ideal base for impeccable eye makeup.

Lottie first applied Make Up For Ever Diamond Shadow #302 in teal to the lid, and then applied Make Up For Ever Diamond Shadow #310 in a shimmering emerald green starting one quarter of the way in from the outer corner of the eye to the outer eye lid and then into the crease and lower brow bone.

MAC RODARTE AND VICTIMS OF JUAREZ

Tweet

Rodarte (Kate and Laura Mulleavy)  inspired from the female factory workers in Texas border in Juarez. There is nothing wrong with this, but the main problem is in Juarez Mexico many women have been killed and murdered, and some of those victims are at the age of 12, they were at the beginning of their lives, this not fair, this crime is still a mystery and still unsolved an open case, this not something to get inspiration from, maybe Kate and Laura Mulleavy Sisters or MAC’s PR do not know anything about it or they were to busy to investigate it before giving this name to their collection, 

Those women work hard to be able to earn money, the money they earn is not enough to buy anything from MAC, 

They can not afford to buy MAC, and MAC is giving this name to their collection, it is humiliating those women who are working hard to earn money to support themselves,

I am not triying to humulate those women by saying they can not afford to buy MAC, I am just saying maybe their income is just not even enough to buy any make up.

They do not go to easy way such as prostitution to support themselves. 

As i mentioned on my post yesterday when i was writing about this collection about MAC Should Donate a percentage, 

This proved one thing in which society you belong does not matter women is still a Second Class

And If you are from Latin Country or if you are Black, or Far Eastern, there are more pressure.

People do not accept people who are not like themselves.

Still in 21 Century we are dominated by men..  Which proves why people are silent to Controversy. 

MAC Should Donate to the victims of Juarez and today i also start to think MAC Could support some of those people especially young factory workers, 

MAC can support younger people and maybe give them jobs in MAC.

They will have better opportunities.  I also think Kate and Laura Mulleavy sister should donate some money to the Victims of Juarez too. 

As i said before i won’t say i will not buy from MAC if they do not change the names,  It is a big word, I like MAC, I will continue to buy.

But I will not buy anything from MAC Rodarte Collection, Even  though i liked some products, I will not give a penny to this collection. Secondly maybe MAC can also donate some MAC products to the victims of Juarez, Make up can make make any woman happy,  

There are other things that MAC can do before donating the money, MAC can give those women a home, a shelter,  By this way MAC's name will live forever and Victims of Rape and other abuses can stay there,

For Long time they screamed for help, but nobody heard them, I am not sure if somebody heard them, but MAC did one good thing by choosing this name, the bloggers / fans / people like me who did not know about Controversy in Juarez now they are well aware of this, 

 I am sure there are women's charies who could stand by and support our protest, 

IF PETA can stand and protect animal right, I am sure there are women's charities who could protect those women's right.

Or those charites there for women who are rich and famous, or they are just there to  sit and giggle?

I am not sure if there is a Top Model brave enough to say I protest MAC & Rodarte. What they do is wrong,  By this way lots of people can hear our voice.

More people to join the protest.

It is not nice, and Just a little sorry is not also enough, They can not cover up their mistake by just a simple sorry and a small donation 

THOSE WOMEN DESERVE MORE THAN A SORRY!!

I am not on any kind of sponsorship by any company, so that i can write what i want to say to my followers to my readers,

But there are many have to mind their steps carefully not to loose their free make up bank...
