Beauty enthusiasts will undoubtedly be familiar with MAC Cosmetics, the iconic brand behind such cult classics as the Ruby Woo lipstick, Studio Fix Fluid Foundation and the Fix+ Setting Spray. But as fans will know, these high-quality items often come with a hefty price tag.
Typically, a MACximal Silky Matte Lipstick retails for £25, but we’ve uncovered a clever trick to secure a substantial discount on this beauty favourite. Through an exclusive offer for new TopCashback members, you can claim a £15 cashback bonus, reducing the cost to £7.92.
But the good news doesn’t stop there. If you’re an existing member of TopCashback, you’ll still be able to save. Returning members will pay £22.92 after the small discount.
If you’re already fully stocked up on lippies, you could always take advantage of the bonus and splash out on a new foundation, mascara or blusher. For instance, the MACStack Mascara usually costs £27 — but is reduced to £9.75 for new members.
These two aforementioned products have earned great reviews online. The MACximal Silky Matte Lipstick has earned more than 850 five-star reviews, with users saying it “leaves my lips feeling comfortable and not too dry.”
One person said, “I layer over this lipstick with a clear gloss, and my lips are comfortable and feel hydrated all day.” Another claimed it has “long-lasting colour and smooth application.” A fourth said, ” It lasts a long time without reapplying. It hydrates my lips fairly well, which makes me want to wear it.”
However, a few shoppers claim the colours are different to how they remember, citing a change in formula. ” I had no clue the formula had changed until I pulled out one of my old tubes to see why the new one looked different. So sad,” one complained.
Likewise, the MACStack Mascara has a great reputation. It has racked up an impressive 13,560 five-star reviews, with one user praising its volume and long-lasting formula.
One person said: “Who needs fake eyelashes when there’s MACStack mascara? I have been using this mascara for several years now. I am very pleased with it. It thickens and lengthens my eyelashes very nicely.”
A second stated: “I am kicking myself for not purchasing this sooner. This is a fabulous mascara. The length and volume are incredible, and you can build it up for more drama, which is nice.”
Not everyone is impressed, though. A reviewer said it’s “clumpy for my thin lashes. “The formula is runny, so I won’t buy this for myself,” they said.
Regardless, this is a great opportunity to treat yourself to an old MAC favourite or a new addition to your makeup collection. See below for details on how you can snag a discount.
