Well, it is not only MAC, everything is more expensive in Europe. I think it is because of the strong euro for one, but also because we have about 20 percent taxes in most eu states. Living here is expensive, and getting more so all the time.

I suppose a company can’t widely vary their prices depending on how the international money market reacts either – it would be confusing, and yes, they’d lose out in terms of revenue. I meant more in other countries, since I know that MAC started in Canada – like is testing more extensive with the EU regulations vs. FDA? That kind of stuff.
