MAC doesn't work with sub services ever. So if you ever see a MAC product in a sub service it is guaranteed that the product was purchased through a 3rd part vendor and was not authorized by MAC to be distributed or it's a fake MAC product.
Although you could use an IPSY bag to put smaller gifts in

I'd think working with a subscription service would help the company get their product out there to get new customers. They do already have a big fan base though. As subscription services get more popular though, they might change their minds.
Waiting until Christmas to open the December bag? I'm lucky if I can wait until I get back inside the house from the walk to the mailbox before opening mine!
I can get MAC at Belk (a southern department store), and Nordstrom. There's no Macy's by me

This sounds awesome....and perfect for my mom! I just signed up for an invitation. Crossing my fingers that I can get on before Christmas!
I don't think they offer gift subscriptions yet. You can order a normal monthly or yearly subscription for her instead and just cancel when you want it to stop.

Nope, they make shit tons of money, they don't need to sell discounted product to "get customers", they discount their products 40% to professionals already. There are literally tens of thousands of fake mac products being sold all over the world. Because of this they combat it by only authorizing a very small number of big name department stores to sell their products legitimately.
dont worry im cheap too! I wish i could try out mac without shelling out so much money.Originally Posted by JimmyJazz /img/forum/go_quote.gif

Before I got more into makeup, I thought MAC products were really expensive. They are still on the pricier side but I've gotten to the point where I don't just go into a Sephora, Target, CVS, department store, etc. and just buy whatever my eyes happen to land on (although, very rarely, that still happens and it usually goes one of two ways - either the item is a big regret or an awesome surprise.) When I buy something now it's researched for a while - I look at reviews and swatches online and I try to test the products for myself before purchasing. This is part of the reason why I sub to BB/Ipsy - it's part of my research; I get exposed to new products and brands and if I hate the product I don't feel that bad tossing it. Back to MAC, the first products I tried were their lipsticks and I'd never paid more than $5 for a lip product before and wondered if it was worth $15 for one lip product. When I looked at my makeup stash though I'd realized the amount of makeup that I bought on a whim and didn't use was awful - I could have bought 10+ MAC lipsticks! So now, instead of me taking advantage of every BOGO sale at CVS, I'll research and save up for something I would really use. A lot of times those products are still drugstore brands and products, but I don't feel so bad now spending more money on products that I know will work for me.
