So M.A.C. has basically turned a goal into reality. They just unveiled a program to finally give a little tiny bit of our souls back which they snatch so violently throughout the year.
They have started a rewards program It's called M.A.C. Select, and the perks are based on how much money customers spend. When you join (membership costs nothing), you'll immediately become a part of the "Seduced" tier of the program. This gets you access to limited-edition products, samples, free standard shipping, an annual gift, and access to the Back-to-M.A.C. program, which allows customers to return six empty product containers to any store in the U.S. (excluding Massachusetts) or online to receive a free lipstick, Lipglass, or eye shadow that costs no more than $17.
In order to move past "Seduced" and up to the "Devoted" level, a customer needs to spend at least $150 a year. That gets you "enhanced" product samples, early access to certain collections, complimentary two-day shipping, an even better annual gift, and a complimentary makeup application.
The final and most prestigious tier is "Obsessed," requiring $500 or more in purchases to qualify. The perks of being a member of this club are being the first group of people with access to certain collections, the option to try new products before other customers, a "deluxe" annual gift, and two complimentary M.A.C. Select express makeup applications. I'm sure I will be at the "devoted" level the next time I do a makeup binge. I think it's great M.A.C. is finally giving something back to its loyal customer base and this is def takes away some of the pain/guilt for spending so much money on Fix + yearly. The more you purchase the more privileges you receive. So tell yourself hey at least I'm getting closer to being "obsessed".
