Mac Cosmetics

I'm going to buy some Mac make-up for a relative for Christmas. Does anyone know of any websites that sell it cheaper? I've looked about a bit but can't find anything so far.

Ive never found anywhere that sells them cheaper as i wear mac foundation,even american sites arent im afraid,have u tried e-bay, if you know what colours etc you need they can work out a little bit cheaper.

not sure where you live but at cheshire oaks (Junction 10 M53) -outlet village theres a cosmetic shop that sells mac stuff - eyeshadows for around £7 instead of £13 - may be old colours - not sure - worth a try

Thanks for the replies, at least I don't have to waste hours trawling the web trying to find a bargain now! Handy to know about the outlet shop too!

Not sure how true this is, but when I was in Superdrug looking for makeup for my dd, I found a makeup range called GOSH, which looked similar to the MAC makeup packaging. I asked a member of staff who said they were made by the same company. I bought an eye liner & compared it to the MAC one & it was nearly identical, but half the price.
Superdrug also have the range on offer for 3 for 2 HTH.

My sister (and fellow mser!) said that she saw a thread on this board a while ago which said that if you save up the packaging from your MAC makeup you can claim a free product..

Does anyone know anything about this? If so how much packaging do you need? Is it the outer packaging or the empty make up container?

Many thanks!!

Hi!

I've done this a few times at my local Mac store. You have to save any 5 of the plastic containers (not the cardboard packaging) and they let you choose any free lipstick. I think this is great because the lipsticks are worth over £10 and there the best i've tried.

You have to take six containers back to get a free lipstick.
