Here's a website with Mac (and others) for 25% off (similar to CCO prices). Currently selling pigments, glitter, e/s, l/l, l/g, studio stick foundation and nail polish. And they accept PayPal !

www.discount.makeup.com

** There has been controversy about this website selling FAKE mac. A couple of people who have ordered from here say the products are legit and others say they are fake. I will recieve 3 e/s on Monday (which is tomorrow). Product update(s) as follows...

FYI: Consider this thought... It's better to travel to a CCO or pay full price for Mac knowing that you are getting a legit item-- It's better safe than sorry.

This is cool since I wear studio stick and its 21.00 dollars on the website the next time i purchase it will be from here. Thanks.

would loooove to hear any feedback on the quality/authenticity of silver and rose gold pigments, and the chromeglasses!!!

I've bought from them when they were having a 50% off sale, a few other girls did as well I believe. everything that I got from them was real.. I had taken one of the things that I got to the store and asked the manager about it and he said that it seemed good to him (we compared everything) and they were perfect.

if thats the only thing keeping you back from it, go for it I would say.. however the only problem I had with them was the shipping time. so do keep that in mind.

Yeah.. shipping is a pain sometimes (with any company).

Im getting my shipment today-- it took 4 days and I'm in Northern California. On there website, they have a shipping color coded map. It tells the estimated shipping per state. I think the company is based in northern Washington.

And I noticed that it takes about 2 days for an order to ship out from there werehouse.

Hey,

I have purchased from this site. I have been pleased with the products, but like Hhunt2 said, the shipping is atrocious. I swear it took 2 weeks to get product, but for the prices, I was patient.

Why don't you call MAC headquarters and ask?

Hmm... I know acouple MA's and they say its fake.

MAC headquarters don't really do anything (I assume to busy with other things). And I know a couple gals who have contacted headquaters but Mac didnt do anything.

Im so torn (tear).. as if I don't want to buy Mac from online (only through Mac themselves and CCO stores).

I was told the piggies on that site were fake also.

I bought quite a few items from this site when they had their 50% off sale. I thought that everything was authentic. I don't think I would purchase from them again because it did take a while to ship and some of the lip pencils were from 2005. I'm very aware of the lot numbers when I buy things these days. In 2008, I prefer items from 2006 and later. I always check this when I purchase from the counter or CCO.

I bought several e/s from them and sent them all back as I was unsure- I didn't want to try the products out as I wouldn't be able to get a refund if I did. But, I noticed that the weight on 2 of the 5 shadows was 1.5 instead of 1.3- I think I read that that was a sign of fake e/s.

I was/am torn about it as I felt bad about returning those items, but didn't want to chance getting fakes I guess I'd rather pay full price and know for sure I was getting the real deal.
