The "HOW TO" guide to buying MAC cosmetics!!

1.  Research your seller's feedback.  If someone says they received fake items.  Believe them.  I purchase three MAC pigments from a seller here on Ebay & waited 3 weeks to receive them & was very disappointed when I opened the envelope & the pigments were fake.  Not to mention the seller was all the way in Taiwan & there wasn't much I could do about it!!

2.  Research prices!!!!  It disgusts me to see sellers have MAC items for "Buy it Now" at a price twice the amount you would pay at the online MAC store or any MAC store for that matter!!!

3.  If you can't make it to the MAC cosmetics store, try buying a sample(I know, I know) of a color you like & try before you buy.  A full jar can last & last & last.  It might be a pretty color on screen but just might turn out to be completely wrong for you.

4.  "No longer available & Rare" don't necessary mean that you have to pay twice the price to get the item.  You can go to MAC's website and click on the GOODBYES link and find most of these items at a normal retail price.

5.  Noone on Ebay is certified by MAC to sell their products so if the price seems "too low", it's usually low for a good reason.  Ask questions before you bid.  Everyone is paying retail or going to the MAC store & buying sale items or buying fake items from sellers offering fake MAC items at unbelievable prices and turning around & selling them to you!!

6.  Last but not least, go to wwww.maccosmetics.commm for free advice on how to put on your makeup, what colors are right for you.  You can email a MAC makeup artist for free & get the  best makeup tips you've ever gotten in your life.
