STATEMENT FROM M·A·C COSMETICS ON THE M·A·C RODARTE COLLECTION
We understand that product names in the M·A·C Rodarte collection have offended some of our consumers and fans. This was never our intent and we are very sorry. We are listening carefully to the comments posted and are grateful to those of you who have brought your concerns to the forefront of our attention. M·A·C will give a portion of the proceeds from the M·A·C Rodarte collection to help those in need in Juarez. We are diligently investigating the best way to do this. Please be assured that we will keep you posted on the details regarding our efforts.
STATEMENT FROM RODARTE ON THE M·A·C AND RODARTE COLLECTION
Our makeup collaboration with M·A·C developed from inspirations on a road trip that we took in Texas last year, from El Paso to Marfa. The ethereal nature of this landscape influenced the creative development and desert palette of the collection. We are truly saddened about injustice in Juarez and it is a very important issue to us. The M·A·C collaboration was intended as a celebration of the beauty of the landscape and people in the areas that we traveled.
Please remember to respect your fellow Temptalia readers. I do not tolerate name calling or insults. Debate and discuss with intelligence and passion but leave out jibes, digs, or other personal attacks. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, even if you may disagree with it or find it “stupid.” We want to facilitate the discussion and keep it focused on the issues, not to foster attacks on other readers.
After moderating through many, many comments, if you insult anyone, do not expect it to go through. If you can’t argue intelligently and must attack other people to get your point across, I will not tolerate it. If you cuss someone out, do not expect it to be approved. If you call someone “brainless,” “dumbass,” or “bitch,” do not expect it to be approved. Threats to me or any one else will absolutely not be tolerated and will result in total removal from Temptalia.com.
Please be mature and respect people’s right to express and hold an opinion that is different than yours.
