I wish MAC would maybe incorporate some sort of personality/customer service test that a lot of employers (especially retail and companies that work with the public) use to help decide their hiring decisions. I'm tired of some of the MAC MA's that treat you like you're a piece of shit stuck to the bottom of their shoe. Just because you're an awesome MA doesn't mean you have the retail skills.

I think a GWP would be cool also. Perhaps have a 'Due to high customer demand' thing where LE shades would come back, even if it were only for a limited time (again).

Someone should email this whole thread to MAC. I am sure the powers that be would like to kmow how they can improve the company. You ladies have some excellent ideas

GWP! Or maybe sales/coupons. BOGO hehe, maybe when hell freezes over. And I would LOVE to see pigments in smaller quantities for less $$. But I lucked out with the MAs, all the ones in my area that I have dealt with are super nice and helpful. Oh and more fluidline colors.

I hate to be the party spoiler, but I don't want them to lower their prices. Not that I like to pay more... but you know that if they lower prices, they will also lower the quality and quantity of the products themselves.

If we wanted drugstore quality, we'd just buy the existing brands. There are decent ones out there...

MAC lives in a special place somewhere between the drugstore brands & the really high end brands (er, especially in North America -- other continents are different, as the costs to get MAC are higher).

Bring back the blush doubles! and maybe make them permanent? Surely this is more possible than MSFs being permanent? *Shurgs*
Make a kabuki brush..mmm.
I disagree with GWP, would up the prices

I completely agree. I'm against the GWP's as well. It would raise prices over time. Also, it would add to making MAC just like every other Estee Lauder brand. I don't care for EL's influence on MAC as it is. Since they took over the ridiculous amounts of Limited Edition collections is totally out of control, some of the newer products are lesser quality, IMO, and prices are up. I still love MAC, but I miss the MAC of 4-5 years ago.

this is a fun poll!

-definitely gift with purchase
-for b2m you can get either a lipstick, lipgloss, or an eyeshadow
-have some sort of frequent buyer thing
-make postcards available everywhere for every color story
-definitely better swatches on the website
-(someone said this already but i definitely agree) make a shimmery yellow e/s
-make the perfect turquoise e/s (like riot, but prettier)

thats all i can think of for now!

We're not supposed to release information early unless we get it approved by a manager. No one is stingy, it's company policy.

2nd that.

I'm also not for having sales and GWPs and lowering prices. I know I sound like the ULTIMATE party pooper and people are just thinking its cause i work for MAC but I think it takes away from the exclusivity of the brand and the image they project. With things like Frequent Buyer Cards (which is an AWESOME IDEA, I 2nd IT) MAC wouldn't be known as such a good and high-end (to some) MU line. I mean, Clinique has GWPs but do you view Clinique and MAC as the same? I dont but this is just my opinion. I also dont wish they made palette or minis cause the quality of the sets arent aways the best they can be.


I wish that MAC would make a credit card.
- stop making lip lacquer
- process my staff card application quicker jeeez

They already have this. You can use either EZR or they have a new eyeliner mixing medium @ PRO stores.

If MAC had GWP, the low prices we already pay, would go up. And maybe it's just me, but I've never been a fan of GWP's by any brand I've ever come across because they're cheap and most of the time have teeny eyeshadow pans in some color they'll never make again along with a bag that will fall apart in 6 months.

I like the idea of a MAC credit card, releasing postcards for every collection everywhere, and selling them, along with posters to benefit the MAC AIDS fund. I *doubt* they will ever do this though because it's only MAC addicts who would buy them. If you went to Sephora and someone offered you a Too Faced postcard for $1, would you buy it? I wouldn't. I'd probably look at the sales person like she was crazy. And although we like to think MAC Addicts make up MAC's business with the amount of money we all spend each year, we don't. It's hard enough trying to sell Kids Helping Kids cards to the "average" MAC customer.

A frequent buyers card would be pretty cool. I could see them doing something like a punch for every $100 spent or a point system and once you spend $500 you get a free shadow and paint, or lipstick and lipglass.

I wish our gratis would come on time (early) for once instead of 1 week AFTER the collection launched.

I'd like a DuoChrome collection where everything is permanent. Including Shadows, blushes, lipsticks and paints.

Palettes and pan shadows should be available everywhere as should *some* pigments. . . ex: only those that are both eye and lip safe because the average consumer has absolutely no use for something that's not eye safe. Most people think they're just for the eyes or cheeks anyhow.

We need some new matte shadows. All we seem to come out with is frosty, sparkly glittery ughhh. I love some shine just as much as the next person but we need more mattes to balance it out.

A face palette would be cool. With room for 3 blushes and maybe 6 shadows. I know a lot of people who would LOVE this. And it's ideal especially for travel.

i sometimes receive my gratis even more than a week after the launch date! so annoying. as for the gwp, i totally agree withyou. i never like any company's gwp. and mac's prices are so reasonable. i mean, $20 for skin primer, $13 for shadows, $14 for lipsticks. and we must consider how long all these products last us and just how much we love them. think about other lines prices.
we need red eyeshadow! and a great bright yellow shadow! yes!

re-release discontinued cult favourites & NOT reformulate them.

remove talc or reduce it drastically from all of their products that contain them. i haven't read the ingredients on everything.

reduce the numbers of collections/colour stories that come out each year. it has gotten a bit ridiculous. also, w/ the collections by reducing the frequency of them they can make more of each collection permanent or a bit longer-lasting than LE.

i've been asked to join mac 2x already & have declined, partially because i'm an employee of aveda, & secondly because there's so many things i can't wear, such as blushes, foundations, etc.
