Since I am fairly new to MAC I have a RL w/l a mile long. My plan is to pick up whatever I can find at the CCO's, along with the old LE stuff they have. Then, I will get the RL items that the CCO's didn't have at the F&F sale. I am really hoping that the sale is in May or mid-year. I need the first of the year to save for Spring Colour Forecast. After that I can save for F&F.

^^ Well, while they did not specifically say yes or no, I am leaning towards no, b/c by this time last year, did we not already know? I remember it occurred around Jan 8, which is why they didn't release BBR online til after the sale. They probably just have produced less product this year and don't need a sale to get rid of any excess.

I was told by the girls at my store that the only reason there was a sale was due to massive amounts of overstock from holiday as well as many other collections this year. She said they have received significantly LESS product this year. It was only to try to recoup for overproduction.
I dont think there will be another f&f anytime soon.

I have a feeling that the F&F sale might be pushed out later.
MAC increases their prices once or twice a year. They should at least make sure the F&F sales do happen. Even though they increase their prices, we still stay loyal.
Other businesses like Sephora, Urban Decay, Ulta, etc. all had some sort of sale if an F&F sale didn’t happen. BUT for businesses like Footlocker, they lowered their F&F discounts this year. My cousin is a field auditor for Northern California and Guam. He had told me that they changed there F&F sales; from 30% off to 25%. Then the employees usually get 50% off twice a year and that didn’t happen last month (it should have happened before Xmas). Some companies are catching on; whether it’s to cut sales, decrease packaging (example: new pigment jars) or stop selling certain items (example: Footlocker doesn’t sell tall tees anymore, they transferred items to their brother company, Champs). LOL, sorry to be jumping around with company names.

I wouldn't be surprised if they just had one sale this year, especially if the stock is decreased as many are saying. I believe they've always done it once a year, I just think last year was special.

I remember Erin saying they didn`t have any sale till last year, so yeah last year was special, and I think they `ll have one if the financial crises was the reason behind the ones last years because even if the economy is relaunching there will be a long way to get back the way it was and I don`t think people will get crowded to buy cosmetics when money is still short for almost everybody
