This weekend, I managed to get my hands on a few MAC & Estee Lauder warehouse sale tickets for the infamous sale in Markham Ontario. For those of you that live here in Canada, you may have heard about this sometimes “epic” sale that occurs 4 times annually in March, June, September and December. It is an exclusive invitation only sale, with tickets going to employees and/or retirees of MAC & Estee companies. In addition to these brands, there is also Origins, Bobbi Brown, Clinique and much more.

People absolutely love this sale because there is often the opportunity to donate to charity and buy pre-packaged bags filled with 1-4 MAC products for $5 each upon exiting the building. There is also always a free gift that ranges from a sponge to a full-sized MAC product when you turn in your ticket after your purchase is rung up.

It was a 40 minute drive and after waiting about an hour in line, we finally made it inside the building. Unlike other visits, I blasted through each of the 3 rooms, grabbing ONLY what I was hoping to find and indulging in nothing else. I think I exercised great self control this time around! ***pats self on back 😉
