Free M.A.C Lipstick (Instagram Like Required), Saturday 29/7 @ David Jones, Myer, MAC Stores

1640

Found this on news.com.au of all places. Mrs Vietbargain will probably want more than one colour so I'll get one too.

Free full-sized lipstick samples at any M.A.C outlets, David Jones Counters and participating Myer stores in Australia.

"Customers must simply sign-up in store and follow us on Instagram @maccosmeticsaustralia to redeem a free Lipstick bullet"

edit grammar

edit2 I realised there's a djs @ barangaroo. Confirmed the deal is on. You fill out a form, follow on Instagram and get a free lipstick - but it seems like there's a set range to choose from and probably limited stock (looked like at least 100 at the counter when I peeked)

edit3 thanks to ncb123

MAC's instagram page put a post up (https://www.instagram.com/p/BXEv_3bFAro/?taken-by=maccosmeti…) confirming there will be lipstick giveaways tomorrow.
They've replied to some comments saying "all M•A•C stores, David Jones stores and select Myers are participating. The only Myer stores not participating are: Adelaide, Chadstone, Garden City, Canberra, Liverpool, Doncaster, Castle Hill, Joondalup, Penrith, Morley, Shell Harbour, Ballarat, Launceston and Tea Tree Plaza"
So all other Myer Stores that sell MAC other than those listed above should have some stock to give away.

Mod: Check with your local store to see if they are participating, there doesn't appear to be an official list (yet). Feel free to comment below to save others calling that store.

      Hope so, I haven't posted anything good in ages

      • Women go crazy for MAC stuff or so I hear.

        • +4

          That means men go crazy for Maccas stuff then?

          When one tube of lipstick is $36 I'd be pretty happy with the bargain.

      • Nah mrs vietbargain just want that bright red. Thats all they wear in vn.

  • Good gift for your girl if you can choose her colour correctly

    • +4

      That's a big IF

    making an instagram account now, lol
    thanks op!!

  • "Sign up in store"? so do we sign up a myerone acc in store or do we sign up instagram acc? Sorry i dont quite understand

    • Go in store and find out.

    • There's a paper form that you fill out at the counter, pretty sure to sign up to a MAC mailing list

  • +1

    How to know if your Myer is participating?

    • Call and ask.

  • +6

    Free full-sized lipstick samples

    Does that mean a full sized stick of lipstick, or a full "sample-size"?

    Either way, tomorrow I am a drag queen

    • Some of the posts I've seen state full-sized lipstick…which I doubt will be true. Or it'll be limited to the seasonal less-popular colours :(

      • Colours available will vary counter to counter.

    • Full sized lipstick as a sample is how it's read. Otherwise it'd be free sample-sized lipstick.

  • +1

    Not all DJs stores sell MAC. Here's a list of stores: https://www.davidjones.com.au/brands-by-store/mac But I don't think it's as accurate as Burwood isn't listed which I'm pretty sure sells MAC.

    • +2

      Burwood definitely stocks MAC. DJ's website is so rubbish!

  • Yes, I need a new MAC lipstick colour!

  • If animal testing matters to you, they don't test on animals, but allow the Chinese government to do so.

    • -3

      Better animal testing than human testing.

      • +4

        How did you rationalise that? Human testing means that participants are paid for their time and know what they're getting into. Animal testing means some poor animal is locked in a cage and brutalised for their life.

        • -2

          It's pretty easy to rationalise, I prefer an injured animal rather than an injured human

        • +1

          @tightshang: I think if the human goes into it voluntarily knowing they might be hurt that makes it a bit easier to swallow. Personally I'm not a fan of people though and animals don't deserve it.

        • @potplanty:Amen.We call ourselves the dominant species,but prove time and time again to be the most pointless.

      • -1

        @potplanty

        I believe humans are inherently worth more than any animal. Animals can't give consent - they are not sentient; at least not in the way that humans are.

        Animal testing is a necessary evil that saves human lives. Human testing is of course still required for any product, but early stage testing should be done on animals before human testing is performed. Humans do have a responsibility however to ensure animal testing is done with minimal harm and cruelty.

    • This means they allow animal testing in order to sell in China, therefore not cruelty free. Or alternatively, cruelty free except for when profits are at stake.

    Sent this to my sister and she was stoked. thanks!

  • +18

    Sent this to my girlfriend, then was ordered to pick one up for her… Er… Thanks!..?

  • +2

    I've seen this posted across a number of "news" pages but nothing officially from MAC on their Instagram page…has anyone seen anything official?

    Also there's no clarity on the "selected Myer stores" on any of the posts I've seen so far.

    • As much as I would like to investigate further for the ozbargain community, I is stuck at work =(

    "Happy #NationalLipstickDay!" the brand wrote in a release. "Celebrate #MACLipsLipsLips with us at a M·A·C store or retailer near you. Get there early on 7/29 for a FREE full-sized Lipstick (there’s no catch!), while supplies last! US only." http://www.teenvogue.com/story/mac-cosmetics-free-lipstick-n…

    so US only??

    • LOL "US Only".

      yeah I haven't seen anything official posted from MAC Australia

    • Official maccosmetics instagram have commented that offer is only available in US and Canada.

      • Boo. Thanks for investigating. I've reported the deal to mods and let them make a call =(

      • +2

        Confirmed at djs barangaroo. Best to check at your local djs/myer/mac store.

        • thanks! just saw your update to OP

  • +4

    Thanks OP :)

    Just adding that the Charlestown Square MAC store is limited to the first 100 (as per the Facebook post):

    Be one of the first 100 customers to visit the MAC Charlestown store on Saturday and sign up to their database to receive a FREE MAC Lipstick. 😮💄😚

    Please note - this is a first in, best lips offer.

    • Thanks for that. Wonder if they're limited to 100… Judging from the giant line when Mecca opened in the Canberra centre it may be madness.

    • That's pretty exciting! I wonder what shades are available…

  • +3

    Which stores in Brisbane have this offer ? Checked DJ, only the CBD stores or Robina have MAC counter, sigh !

  • +1

    Confirmed with my local MAC Cosmetics standalone store that this deal is on tomorrow. Keep in mind they are only giving limited edition colours (more of the bright popping colours) and stocks are limited.

    • what's your local?

      • Macquarie centre

  • +4

    How many brothers today will be liking MAC and liking the pictures in there for their girlfriends and an extra free lipstic?!

  • Just spoke to my local store (located in a DJs), she said there are a total of 6 colours to choose from and is valid at all stores - however she could not say how many would be available, but to get in early!

  • Got an email from Westfield Carousel (WA) that the actual MAC store only has 120 to give out.

  • +1

    I just called Perth City Myer and they said they are running the deal. The girl said to get there early as there is very limited stock.

  • +8

    MAC's instagram page put a post up (https://www.instagram.com/p/BXEv_3bFAro/?taken-by=maccosmeti…) confirming there will be lipstick giveaways tomorrow.
    They've replied to some comments saying "all M•A•C stores, David Jones stores and select Myers are participating. The only Myer stores not participating are: Adelaide, Chadstone, Garden City, Canberra, Liverpool, Doncaster, Castle Hill, Joondalup, Penrith, Morley, Shell Harbour, Ballarat, Launceston and Tea Tree Plaza"
    So all other Myer Stores that sell MAC other than those listed above should have some stock to give away.

  • Birthday gift for the wife/girlfriend sorted!

  • +1

    Will I see more guys queueing up tomorrow?

  • +5

    Emailed this bargain to the missus…
    Her reply? "Can you get multiple for me? One from each store?"
    She's seen me do the same with free samples of other stuff etc so she's expecting the same here
    Wish me luck my OzB brothers haha

    • +1

      I told my wife not to even bother, there will be too many people. She was the one that told me about it before I knew about it as well, and she isn't even on ozbargain. It's going to like those viral black friday sales. But good luck to anyone trying. I especially wish all the boyfriends/husbands luck as I doubt many will get the correct shade:P Maybe they let you exchange it though, that would be great.

    • +6

      I'm a woman and I'm not even going to bother. I've seen it posted on two news sites already so I assume lines will be nuts, and full of young annoying girls. Good luck to you indeed!

      • Thank you! Appreciate the wishes :D

    • I'd told him that too. He said no way, and just bought me three instead of lining up.

    meanwhile, back at corporate HQ:
    "the muppets are going for it. We'll have National Lipstick Day cemented in the public consciousness before too long."
    "excellent…this strategy will pay off…big time."

  • +1

    nothing special, just a brand name that the sheeps go after because of celebrity endorsements. Nonetheless, free is always good.

    • +1

      Ah no….Mac is popular because they make good stuff.

    • +1

      @rickrone, MAC used to make very high quality stuff. not so high quality these days but what made MAC popular was not celebrities but the Drag community. MAC used to be the main brand used in drag and transgender communities largely due to the quality. it was after it became popular in the drag scene that celebrities started endorsing it.

  • Sooooooo according to Instagram, Myer Liverpool and Castle Hill (and probably other stores I haven't checked) ain't participating. According to this facebook post (https://m.facebook.com/notes/mac-cosmetics/australia-2017-na…), they are? :/

  • They have some crazy colours. Yellow, blue, green etc. I hope they're not giving those ones away.

  • The only Myer stores not participating are…. Launceston

    I went nt to Myer Launceston this arvo to find out and I was advised they are so hopefully they are.

  • I am going to give up too after looking at the few thousand replies in Facebook.

  • +1

    Around 150 in the queue in Chatswood - actually possibly more - didn't realise the queue went around the corner!

  • Chatswood have run out!

    • Did you manage to get one?

  • I'm at Myer in the city and the queue is insane. Don't bother, there probably won't even be enough for the people lining up (400 they said)

    • What time did it start? My expectations says the line started 2hrs before they opened.

  • Holy wombat. There's like 300 people at burwood, the line goes from djs to the burwood road entrance! And I'm at the end!

    • Mrs Vietbargain and I have given up. Join us at maccas instead

    • +1

      You can leave pretty much, I am in the middle and the lady said the cut off line is a few spots behind me.

    • Damn that was go to store today! Thanks for the update now I can sleep more

      • After a 100 min wait, I got my freebie for the day. Hard work being a ozbargainer!!!

  • +2

    Brisbane city Myer and DJ were out of stock within 10 minutes, bit of a dud promotion if you only have a handful of freebies and you're advertising on Instagram

    • Not to mention every news outlet picked it up

  • David Jones Barangaroo has only a couple colours left… Green blue or black.

  • Huge line at TTP, only "exotic" shades left ie. Grey's, purple, yellow, no more red and pinks

  • Just got my nude shade at myer fountain gate! Was sixth in line

    • How longs the wait?

    • Is the line long now?

      • +2

        I waited a couple mins but the line is all the way out the door now. I got there exactly at 9am

        • Lucky you! arrived 8am at mine and there were already 20 people waiting

  • No more at Westfield Marion, SA! Waited an hour and missed out with in 5 people.

  • +2

    Woke up 7 am for this!!! Decent shades were available at MAC macquarie. Fuchsia, nude, reddish brown, nikki minaj-ish pink and one with orange-y tone

    • Yeah I got there at 8.45am and waited an hour to get the saint germain Nikki Minaj pink 😂
