While National Lipstick Day (on 7/29) is for sure one of those made-up holidays to sell things, it can have some pretty great deals attached to it that you shouldn’t ignore. One of the best ones every year is M.A.C.’s free lipstick event, which usually includes a totally gratis tube just for showing up. This year is a little different but still worth checking out. You can’t just show up at a store this time, which will hopefully diminish the massive lines at the stores. Instead, you’ll get a free full-size lipstick (worth $18) with a $25 purchase. If you spend $50, you also get a free M.A.C. lipstick canister.
The M.A.C. lipstick shade you’ll get is called CB96 and it’s a lipstick that was originally created for backstage use at runway shows. It’s a bright pink-orange with pearls with medium coverage and a semi-lustrous finish. It might look a little bright in the tube, but it looks incredible on a variety of skin tones.
- Pick up my favorite $16 MAC lipstick for FREE! All you have to do is. Save your empty MAC containers. Once you get 6 containers (any kind of MAC product, it doesn't matter), then turn them in for a free lipstick! Just take your empty containers into a MAC makeup counter (at Nordstrom stores), hand them over, and tell them what lipstick.
- While the MAC website features many types of complimentary and paid makeup choices, not all stores offer the same services. Many of the 30-, 60-, and 90-minute appointments are fee based, or the cost is redeemable with a purchase of cosmetics.
- Free standard shipping on every order. No offer code necessary. Return it for free. Exclusive samples. Sample mac must-haves with every order. Take your pick at checkout. See all offer details. Offers free shipping! Receive free standard shipping with any $100+ purchase (after discount).
MAC offer a huge line of cosmetics, including but not limited to foundation, eye makeup, lipsticks, moisturizers, makeup removers, and fragrance. I contacted MAC to ask generally about whether their makeup is gluten free, but also about particular products. Their representative sent me the following information.
If you really love lipstick, it’s probably worth popping into a M.A.C. store if you can. There will be complimentary lip demos and more than 350 lippies to try. If you can’t get to a store, you can still grab a free lipstick with the brand’s Back to M.A.C. program. Just return six primary packaging containers to a M.A.C. counter or M.A.C.’s website and you’ll receive a free lipstick of your choice. You’re helping the environment and grabbing free makeup so it’s pretty much a win-win.
The free lipstick deal for National Lipstick Day isn’t just for one day. You have from July 27-29 to shop and grab your gift. Maybe these made-up holidays aren’t so bad after all.
