Re: Mac sale...

No, it's a cosmetic warehouse sale. I've heard of it and iirc the prices are pretty good, more than 50%. Please please PLEASE bring me if you can!!!

I think this warehouse is only in Canada, somewhere in Toronto. It's not the same as the 15%-off sale at MAC stores, which I believe is only in the States.

Re: Mac sale...

Ohhh.. That sounds fun. Do they have anything like this in the US? I would so get a plane ticket and hotel to go to that, if it was 50% off. Lol.

Re: Mac sale...

I think i heard they have done one somewhere in NY or Long Island or something. They sometimes have some MAC for $2! Basically everything you would find at a CCO!

Re: Mac sale...

^Yup and they also go to nearby factories and businesses and hand them out as well! Some MA's get them too and i heard some have even given there's to customers. Unfortunatly, many people abuse the fact that people are so desperate to get their hands on a ticket that they will pay $100 for one! I've seen posts on some Canadian forums and i think its wrong that they would make money off of this instead of doing a good deed and passing the tickets they don't want to someone who actually wants it and will appreciate it! You are not allowed to sell your ticket and can get in a lot of trouble if they catch you! But there is a forum and people do give their unwanted tickets away for free! I guess some guys have no use for them LOL someone just released 26 tickets for free, you just had to pick them up! The worst part is the line up in the morning!!!! But its really worth it!!!

Right now I'm one of those on the hunt for a ticket... so what is this forum you've mentioned? Do you know if there are any more? Slim chance I know, but a chance is better than nothing....*crossing fingers*

I'll keep you in mind if I get tickets for the next one, which should be in the summer. Someone said June 6? I don't have my ticket, I may not get one this time.

As was mentioned, it's in Markham, in the middle of nowhere, in some depressing fairground.

You have to be careful with items that have expiry dates, they can be past their expiry dates.

The summer sale is not as crowded as the Christmas one. People line up for that one to get their expired cosmetics/skincare to give away as gifts. (Just kidding... not everything is expired, there are many perfume sets that people like to give as gifts.) Also, they have certain products where the colour is a little 'off.' Things like that.

Thanks for the consideration, Meryl. =) It goes from June 6-8th. I found a seller who wants $20 /ticket for the 7th but I'm not that desperate - yet. =P Yeah, I was just at the shoe sale up there and it was pretty grey up there, but for a good sale I'll go!

Re: Mac sale...

I'm hoping they will have some barbie this time but probably not because its still "early" but they did have a lot of the rushmetal pigments & c-shock collection! The sale is this June 6-8! I heard years ago they only did one or two a year but now its about 4 times a year! There was the December one, March, now June, & i'm assuming another in September!!! I 99% sure they did that for the last few years now but i know i went once in June & i think i missed a September sale once!

$20 may not be bad if someone really needs to go...

I passed up a free ticket today, because it was only for one and I didn't want to go by myself. As you said, I'm not that desperate either, as this ticket was for the first day and that's when they have the best selection.

I'm such a loser, I'd rather go by myself than pay $20 to get in!

I'll scout around, hopefully there'll be some way to pick one up for this sale.

Re: Mac sale...

I've been there by myself! LOL i had an extra ticket for the Sunday so i went alone and i was happy because they finally had Glissade and they had been sold out before! When i went alone, i went around 2:30ish so there was no line-up! Wait, i even scored a Friday ticket last year and waited in the big line-up once but the girl behind me was alone too so she started chatting with me! It was a great sale so it was worth it. Trust me, in this place you gotta make a mad dash from table to table if you don't want the good stuff gone. When i go with my cousin, we usually shop really fast and then go back to the warehouse rooms and check to see if we missed out on anything! I think you get more done when you shop alone! I just hate standing in line alone!

Re: Mac sale...

HOTasFCUK, now you tell me? I passed on the ticket.

I always go to the Holt Renfrew sales alone, I can't concentrate on finding the right outfit when someone is with me... but I've never been to the Estee Lauder sale by myself. I guess there isn't such a sense of urgency for me when it comes to cosmetics and skincare. I mean, do we really need more make-up?

What have you found there, in the past, that was a fabulous deal?

Just reiterating this again.

I've removed all the CP requests that were made after Holstrom4 posted this. Please use the CP subforum.

In the past sales, everything was much cheaper but everything is still low priced! They had mini shadesticks, lipgloss, & lipgelees from the holiday sets, quads, holiday palettes, pigments, full size shadesticks, lipliners, fluidlines, beauty powders, foundations, msf's, concealers, lipsticks, lipgloss, glimmershimmers, pearlizers, blush, perfume, bags, eyeshadows (pots & pans), the 187 brush, brush sets.....what else am i missing?? The only crap thing is the colours are very limited and sometimes theres things from the regular lines but you can usually find some great LE items. Oh and they had glitter liners, nail polish, and more! Its usually different everytime & there have been some disappointing sales but i'm really looking forward to this one next week! As long as its a good deal, we can always use more make-up! They also have lots of stuff from Estee Lauder, Clinique, many perfume sets, and a few things from Bobbi Brown & La Mer.

When and where is this Holt Renfrew sale???

I mentioned I might go to the Holts sales alone, I was thinking mostly of Boxing Day, Now or Never or the special first day of the Outlet sales when Last Call was on Steeles and the sales were worth lining up for, which I did. Also, Holts had a huge warehouse sale one year. It was near the airport and it was much bigger than any Last Call sale.

They haven't had any really fabulous sales in recent years though.
