On the other hand, I do think they lie, and I'm not talking about saying the kits were going to stay. (Although that was totally annoying. But that I interpret as Carina being a flake and her financial dept telling her she can't keep them after all.)
I think they wanted/ needed to raise prices, but instead of saying so, and doing it gradually like professional companies do, the customer base was fed a bunch of bull about resellers on ebay and whatnot.
Personally, I don't care much that the prices went up. I buy pricier makeup, and I think EDM quality compares. I just hate the way they did it. (Although it is crazy how much the prices went up, and overnight.)

These people make me slightly nauseated.
I know, I can't believe they're gushing over EDM bringing back PayPal. Really? They made it more convenient to spend your money with them? That's cause for gratitude?
I don't really pay attention to individual posters, but I'm guessing the grateful people are the same ones who brown nose the company for the stupid freebies.

I spent so long looking for a shade/ miw with EDM that I'm reluctant to start the search over elsewhere. I've ordered samples from Monave and Buff'd, because I'd really rather not give EDM my business any longer, but I haven't even begun playing with the samples. It's quite a time investment!
(Which is why, ultimately, I think people might be so angry at EDM. I know I invested a lot of my time and energy with the company, never mind the money.)
And but also, as much as I think the last two EDM site upgrades were unnecessary and incompetently executed, the other MMU sites look really ghetto in comparison.
