Blinc protest

I had to do my family shop last weekend. I don’t know whether you feel the same, but it seems every time we make this tedious trip, the bill gets even bigger. This with other essentials like petrol and utility prices going through the roof; it’s enough to make your blood boil. So why are we Brits such an easy going lot? Apart from the student demonstrations against college fee charges recently (well the young are invariably a hot headed lot, I should know with two teenagers in the family) the most we can muster is a rant at the television. I got to thinking all this over and after catching the news about the brave people of Libya, yet another Arab country making a stand against tyrannical rule, I decided I would stage my own unique protest. I know, we don’t have much to complain about here in the UK compared to those ruled by despots but I do believe we’re being taken for mugs. Or is it my age?
I can hear your cries now, what a hypocrite am I with our own recent price increase. Well in our defence we had to put our prices up just after Christmas because our costs were also up (and I’m not talking my groceries here). I didn’t like doing it and I dare say a lot of you were thinking badly of us, but the reasons were genuine and we’d managed to keep prices fixed over the years.
So here’s my plan; we’re going to drop prices for blinc mascara, eyeliner, and eye shadow phase one to £15.40 for the rest of February and we’ll offer free shipping on any orders over £15.
Action speaks louder than words, so support our protest by getting stocked up on blinc before the authorities come knocking.
