My taste isn't that expensive. My main stores are H&M and Urban Outfitters. I hate splurging on make up and then seeing an awesome shirt or something that I want and I fly into a rage!

I know what you're talking about- except mine will be, like, an upcoming concert or something. As soon as I ordered that quad last week, I find out Smashing Pumpkins will be here on Wednesday- so much for that!

At least I'll be getting my quad on Wednesday to console me.

I need to buy clothes too. But I end up spending all my money on makeup or other less important things...

I always go to Urban outfitters for t-shirts or to check out and the garage sale aisle of accessories with books.

The only difference between me and those people on the shows is that I actually KNOW what looks good. haha

If you have She Loves Candy or Fast Friends l/g from the HK collection, try them over Violetta.. they look lovely

Ditto

I hate not having the willpower to turn makeup down!

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Need to save for this awesome collection! Oh my! Glad that it isn't released so soon... And not so glad either since I can't wait to swatch it in person!!!

And where will I put all the new things that I will get? MAC should give free traincases to loyal customers or at least have a loyalty program!!!...
Time for another one again!

I was just thinking this the other day! We should get rewarded for the amount of money we throw at them month after month! haha. Like at least a free es for every $100 we spend!

I wish!!! In the past, the only thing that we got for free were MAC postcards.
Now, there are hardly have any and when you ask for them, it is like you ask for the world!

Sephora has nice a loyalty card, lots of brands like UD and others have often special sales and F&F sales several times per year...
MAC had 1 F&F sale only once. A loyalty card would be very welcome!

Especially that in some stores/counters now the Back to MAC is reduced to only 2 items at once (12 B2M). Well, it happened to me at 2 different locations.
We can only hope!
I did like the California Dreamin lippie experience but it would be nice if it were worldwide.

I've always been bothered by the fact that I am so loyal to Mac, to the point where I rarely buy anything else these days, but they don't offer anything to customers like me. They go through all the trouble of keeping customers' purchases on file, but then there's no benefit. The Body Shop has an excellent customer loyalty program- I'm always pleasantly surprised when I see how much I save and how many goodies I get when I shop there. Wish Mac would realise that having this sort of program in place does not interfere with their image as a "no discount" retailer.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I wish they gave more samples tbh.. especially of pigments where you rarely use the whole container...

I totally understand your point! I can't keep up with how many traincased I have... I have to label them each now...
And yes, hubby and I save...

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I don't really see a point in tracking my purchases. It's kinda a hassle always giving my name.

 

[laylalovesmac]

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I'd also love a loyalty program! At this point, I buy 95% MAC and 5% UD. Come on, MAC!

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I've been loyal to MAC since 1991.. and the most I ever get is a teeny tiny sample.. of something I usually don't want
