This is what I thought too.
Makes no sense to me that MAC (geared towards professional MUA's with Pro stores and exclusive Pro card etc...) would 'lower' themselves to a d/s level. If it were true I think I'd be sick!

That's the first thing I thought

Sorry but some people on that "other forum" start WAY too many "rumors"!!!!
I'll admit I've fallen for a few in the past but this one is bullshit!

I doubt MAC would go to Walgreens. They thrive too much on their SA's for selling to EVER go to walgreens.

Add me to the list of those praying that MAC never goes d/s. I am afraid that at some point the quality would suffer. Though I must say that I have noticed some of the d/s lines around here getting better,.. still not quite where I would want to spend the same kind of money on them.

Ok people, this is just bullshit! I don't think there is anyway that MAC would allow their product to be sold at Walgreens. Think about it. The company prides itself on their helpful MAC makeup artists, their professional products that are sold exclusively at pro stores, their limited edition collections, their partnerships with celebrities and designers, the list goes on and on. If MAC was to be sold at a drugstore, I think they would be ruining their reputation, and there would be no need for any of the things I listed above.

OTS, but as someone who works with Aveda I can tell you CVS does it from buying it from a wholeseller, as in they buy old stock from a wholeseller/warehouse or closeouts. They are not part of our distribution network. I'm sure it's the same as with Paul Mitchell, Rusk, etc. So you are not getting fresh new product, which being a natural line is very important. Anyway...just wanted to clear that up

Amen!

that was the first thing i thought...must of just heard wrong...

 

[galvanizer]

Exactly my thoughts too.

 

[luckyme]

They dont need to go to d/s. They are thr #1 seller at almost every department store. Estee Lauder knows they have a good thing with MAC and I dont see them touching it!

 

[Lo-Fi_Thriller]

u know what estee lauder is gonna drop Stila, talking about how they dropped Jane and everything. Stila isisnt cutting it - and i hope they NEVER put MAC into a drugstore its redicilous if they did. but Estee is scrapping the bottom they quarterly report was horrible - they also might drop Bobbi Brown...

 

[fairytale22]

I doubt MAC would ever let their products be sold at a non-high end place, especially not a drugstore.

If you believe that I have some swamp land in Jersey I would like to sell you.
1.) Even though you don't buy it, Maybelline sells $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
2.) MAC won't even go into certain Deparment stores...why would they go into a Drugstore?

EXACTLY. Geez, they won't come near our city, so why would they go drugstore.....

Every time I ask if the rumors are true that they are coming to our city, the reps LAUGH at me.

 

[user4]

i highly doubt this is true!!!

 

[Scrangie]

Wow, that's... crap. lol.

I would cry.

The day I see some 12 year old girls chewing gum and begging thier moms to buy them MAC in the cosmetics aisle at Walgreens....

I AM a makeup "snob" lol as someone put it.... And to see my beloved MAC next to the covergirl? It would be heartbroken. XD

a drug store line when it first came out???

oh! my! god!

people will believe anything!!!

i have been a MAC customer since NOVEMBER 1984 and i used to buy it DIRECTLY from Frank Toskan himself even before he had the one counter at the old Simpson's store at Queen and Bay Streets in Toronto.

Oh how cool is that for you to see the growth of mac <grin> I'm jealous.

maybe it'll just be select items... i was just at walgreens and saw that they had lancome definicils mascara(which was the only lancome product they were sellling). maybe it'll be something like that.
