Makeup addicts, the Hot Hot Hot
MAC Cosmetics and
Estée Lauder Warehouse Sale is on again at the Markham Fairgrounds, Ontario so it's the perfect time to stock up on discounted MAC and Estee Lauder items. Sadly tickets for this event are only available to employees and those in the industry such as makeup artists and their invited guests, family and friends. I have also known some lucky
makeup and cosmetic lovers to get their invite from store associates but don't hold your breath on this one as spare invites are scarce as hens teeth. Having said this, we are trying to get invites as giveaways for some of our followers, so stay tuned.
You can also sometimes purchase tickets for this sale on sites like eBay and Kijiji. If you decide to purchase a ticket you could pay anything from $15 to $50 a ticket and the earlier you buy the more expensive and the later you try to buy the less likely you will find one. I guess one could argue that because of the amazing savings you can get at the
MAC Cosmetics and Estée Lauder Warehouse Sale (up to 80% off MSRP at MAC counters), even paying $50 is well worth it. However, personally I don't like or encourage this for a number of reasons. Firstly, for obvious reasons, this is frowned upon by both
MAC Cosmetics and
Estée Lauder. Secondly, tickets have the name of the employee on them so they could get into real strife and perhaps even loose their job! Whatever you do, do try to get a ticket for the Friday rather than the Sunday as I'm sure you'll appreciate with these sales you have a much better choice (e.g. of shades) earlier in the sale.
As usual, with a sale like this do your homework (product, brand, colors, shades etc) before you get to the sale. Work out what you want and have a list prepapred. There is so much to choose from so being well prepared and focused is very important. The other tip is to get to the sale as early as possible. You can imagine the long queues.
