Honestly, no. MAC isn't worth it. I stopped using their stuff for several years & didnt miss them even a bit. Most of their products are overhyped. I started buying some of their products again in 2012, but very few. Mostly from limited edition collections & products that were actually somewhat original. Which isn't much with MAC. If I do really want something of theirs, I'll very often wait til it comes up in a blog sale from somebody I know & trust at a dirt cheap price (makeup artist friends) or buy it much later after it's released & many reviews are already out there. I found a trustworthy supplier online who is known for having authentic MAC, & other mid to high end products, who often has decent prices. Unlike the thieves on eBay who are selling MAC products at seriously jacked up prices, or selling fake MAC for dirt cheap prices, or selling fake MAC products at jacked up prices. Check out Makeup Geek eyeshadows if you're looking for high quality eyeshadows. They're half the price of MAC & much better quality IMO Many other people are of the same opinion as well. Her eyeshadows are exactly the same size & come in refill pans or little compacts exactly like MAC's do. And they're incredibly good. She's also now got lip products, gel liners (gorgeous shades & killer staying power), as well as some cream shadows I picked up when she had some original formula ones she was getting rid of at a discount before launching her final cream shadow formula. I believe she said that she's coming out with cheek products this year and will eventually have an entire line including foundations, concealers, mascara etc. Makeup Geek products are well worth checking out. And they've got exceptional customer service. I believe I now have at least 20 of her products, if not more. Not one has disappointed me. Although I haven't yet tried her lip products, but they seem to get really good reviews.
