Price Increase?

[xoxprincessx0x]

Ahhh..this sucks!! I was actually just thinking the other day...MAC hasn't raised prices in a while. lol GREATTTTTTTTTT right before all these collections. Oh well, I can't complain because it is one of the cheapest high end makeup brands.

What went up $1?? All the products on the PRO site are just up .50. I might be missing it though.

Last nite I bought climate blue e/s...14.50 and studio fix powder...I can't remember but I think it was the same price I brought it at last year. I get alot of uses out of it, so I don't mind paying around $25 for it. I really need to start shopping in state tho lol...including the MD state tax increase and this increase man...I just need to plan trips up to Christiana everyonce in a while when I want to splurge.

So I have been perusing other higher end makeup lines today, and I realized how awesome MAC is for remaining lower priced than most of them! Compared to Bobbi Brown, NARS, Shu Uemura, even Too Faced- MAC is a steal. I hate price increases but I'm okay with MAC doing it since they're already so affordable!

TOO FACED cost more, but is twice the size, hence cheaper.... not sure about the other brands

Nail Lacquers went up $1 too.

Did Powerpoints and other regular pencil eyeliners go up by $1 or $.50? (I think technakohls stayed the same)

 

[xxManBeaterxx]

Nail laquer
Eyelashes
Mascara
Brush cleaner
Bronzers
Foundation
Other loose beauty powders
All went up $1

Eyeshadows
Blushes
Went up .50

Lipsticks
Lipglosses
Slimshines
Pigments
Are all going to get a .50 cent raise in the next 6months (RUMOR from a MAC warehouse) but i think its true.

you'll still be able to get them. right now you can b2m for slimshines, and they are $14.50, and plushglass is a b2m option, and thats $17.50. and as someone said earlier, all will increase in price in another 6 months. why don't they just increase it all at once? its gonna be too confusing for people.

Not saying that it really does.... -Lauren

I think my employer needs this memo! :lol

 

[erine1881]

other stuff that went up:

skincare:
studio moisture cream-$31
fix+-$16
gently off/pro eye makeup remover-$18
cleanse off oil-$21
green gel/cremewash-$19.50
wipes-$17/$25

accessories:
lash curler-$15
sharpeners-$3.50

concealers are all $15.50 now

lip pencils are $13 and cremestick liners are $14.50

primers increased as well.

 

[Zantedge]

The increase must not have been the same in both the US and Canada, because blushes, bronzers and loose BP did not go up.

 

[animecute]

Wow eyeshadows will be $20 in no time lawl. And then we'll think back and think the prices now are cheap XD
Darn, I didn't know about the price increases.

No more chocolate for me </3

Fast response eye cream went up by $1 as well.

no it didn't. its been $28.50.

 

[animecute]

Not in Canada.

 

[Sanayhs]

I'm actually kind of laughing about the fact that cremestick liners (at least in Canada) are currently costing more than lipsticks. Something just seems a bit off there, for the lipstick to be cheaper than the liner...

The threads about price increases with MAC have been merged.

Thanks guys!

Yes, this is the only reason I am stopping myself from banging my fists on the floor and throwing a tantrum

lol I suppose I can deal with this small price increase, even though .50 can really add up in a big purchase. I'll just think about how much better it is than paying upwards of 26 dollars for an eyeshadow.

well at least your usamoney only went $.5, in the uk it's gone up by a £1 which is $2! whihc doesn't sound like much but it all adds up
