Where can I buy MAC online if I don't live in the US or Canada?

[Maktgalena]

As the title already asks!
Where can I buy MAC products online (safely!) if I don't live in the US or Canada? Can't order from maccosmetics.com and we don't have a pro store in Stockholm and I haven't found any pigments at all here (wich is the product I've come to love).
I've bought a few samples but had bad luck with some and well... I want fullsize jars of my favourites!

Any ideas?

r u from sweden?

when u choose ure country select 'other'

Perhaps ask someone to do a CP for you?

I know that MAC UK does not ship outside the UK...

Or search the reliable eBay vendors thread here on Specktra and buy off one of those?

I wouldn't suggest ebay... there are just too many fakes floating around on there lately- and the fakes are getting good!

I only know of Australian based sites that have some MAC for sale- like cyber emporium (seeing as how I'm in australia and all lol), but I believe that they do ship internationally for a set price.

I think Smart Poppy also sells some full jars, though they're mainly samples?

The prices aren't cheap though! Well. They're cheap by aussie standards... but seriously more expensive than what you'd find in the US/Canada! If you want to find those stores, just google them and they should come up easily.

The best option is probably a CP if you can get one though.

Yup, sweden!
I registered at maccosmetics.com to shop but received an email that they don't ship outside north america

What's a CP?

Thank you for your answers!
I'll look up Cyber emporium and Smart poppy! Might as well order from there if the shipping isn't too high and I'll have to calculate the toll fees into that as well

If you do a search for stores in Sweden on maccosmetics.com you get 4 results. Could you maybe call them to see if any carry pigments and then do phone orders if they do?

yeah what is cp?

 

[redambition]

cp = custom purchase. this is where someone will go and purchase an item for you, and then ship it to you. generally you are required to pre-pay the person doing the shopping for you.

 

[macmistress]

cool..now i gotta find a buddy

 

[Maktgalena]

Thanks, but I've alredy asked and they don't do such orders, they only sell in stores... NK and Åhléns I've visited but they didn't sell pigment jars they said. But maybe if I'm persistant enough..!

Custom purchase sounds like the thing for me then.

Thanks a lot for the help!

 

[JessieLovesMac]

hey there!
A good little site I found is starsmakeuphaven.com they don't have full size pigments, though their mac is all authentic and there are a few nice little treats on there! They also have a fair few rare discontinued products!
Hope this helps!!

 

[~Crystal~]

This isn't the place to be asking for a CP

If you've reached your (20 I think?) post limit, you can actually scroll down to the bottom of the main page and go to the Clearance Bin forums- in there, you'll find the Wishlist/CP forum, where you can post your request, and people offer to help you, should they choose to do so

HTH!


Edited to add: even some of the previously most reliable mac sellers on ebay have been found to carry fakes recently- probably because they are buying off fake wholesellers on ebay etc.

Unless the item you're looking for is hard to fake (e.g. MSFs don't quite have fakes yet I think) or have limited edition packaging (like Heatherette, Fafi, Moonbathe etc), then I would stay away from what MAC items you may find on there. It's just not worth it any more!!

Aw, I'm sorry! I've been to Åhléns and I didn't even realise they didn't sell pigments! Which ones are you looking for?

 

[rabideloise]

Jag tänka de har pigment men den är bakom kassan....

 

[Marcita]

There are a lot of sellers here that sell pigments. Put in a search for the name of the pigment and look at For Sale or Swap.
You'll have to cover shipping and paypal fees but I'm sure you'll be able to buy pigments through here.

I would start looking in the Clearance Bin on Specktra, when you have access to it. There are so many good deals to be had!
