Frequently Asked Questions About Mac Lipstick Sell Out

Question 1

Q: Why do Mac Lipsticks Sell Out so quickly?

Accepted Answer

A: One reason is due to the reputation of the brand. Mac has established themselves as a higher-end cosmetic company with a luxury feel. Their lipsticks continue to be among their most popular items, which often leads them to sell out faster than other products. Because of this high-demand, it’s important to jump on great deals or newly-released shades before…

Question 2

Q: Are there limited edition collections that are more likely to sell out?

Accepted Answer

A: Yes! In addition to selling classic lipstick shades throughout the year, Mac often partners with celebrities (most recently Selena Gomez) or releases seasonal collections that attract die-hard fans wanting something exclusive. Purchasing these special edition sets or unique colors typically results in even quicker sell-outs.

Question 3

Q: Is there any way I can buy the lipstick online even though its sold out in stores?

Accepted Answer

A: On occasion, certain shades will appear in-stock randomly on retailer websites like Sephora or Ulta.com after being sold-out at official Mac Cosmetics sites/stores -- but this can be rare since many retailers now carry limited quantities too.

Question 4

Q: Can you ever buy a lipstick from someone that already purchased them and resells online?

Accepted Answer

A: While there are definitely those who take advantage of selling popular colors for inflated prices online (such as eBay), we always recommend purchasing directly through an authorized dealer like Nordstrom or Mac Cosmetics directly so you can trust that what you purchase is legitimate!

Question 5

Q: Is it necessary to join a Mac Lipstick waitlist?

Accepted Answer

A: There is no wait list! When items are made available again, we recommend signing up for email notifications so you can receive an alert the moment they become available.

Question 6

Q: How often do shades restock, and when?

Typically Mac will let consumers know…
