Since you are 13 you obviously don't have a job. However, in order to get some money to buy things, try the following ways to get money:





-Do you have a little cousin or neighbor that you could babysit? Try that and charge about $10 an hour. You'll probably watch the child for about 2 or 3 hours so that is already $20-$30.





-Summer is basically here! Maybe you could set up a lemonade stand, although you should charge about 25 cents at the most, every bit counts. Another great thing to do to be rolling in cash is a car wash with the neighborhood. Besides the lemonade stand and carwash in the neighborhood, you could go walking around your neighborhood selling baked goods. These are all fun and easy ways to get some money.





-You could also do washing windows for the neighbors, or even mowing the lawn.





-Finally, a last idea to get some money is that although your are 13 you could see if you could go to the makeup counter at the mall and do work like sweeping, restocking cosmetics for the next person who gets there makeup done, cleaning or something like that so you could see if they would pay you. Even if they disagree to pay, still you could volunteer, and you can be able to watch professional application. Either way you could see the pro's applying the makeup while you work.











Try and save it up alot at a time, like maybe every $40 you could spend in MAC in one trip. Or you could save up like a hundred dollars and use it there. Even though Ebay looks like it has a lot of great MAC products, 95% of the time they are fake. For example, I have a friend who bought a hundred piece brush set from MAC on ebay, and paid alot but less than at a MAC store, and ended up it was counterfeit.





Remember how I mentioned trying to work behind the makeup counter to get money, or volunteer and watch, well if you're not volunteering or working you could try just going anyway and getting your makeup done by them, and getting tips, or just watch others and listen to them get tips.





To get samples go to MAC.com and see if the website has a samples section. You could probably get some freebies.





Thats about it these are all great ways.


Hope I helped a bit :DHow can I save money to buy MAC cosmetics?
are you a professional or in cosmotology school? if so, you can get a mac pro card and save 40% on everything you buy there





before i got my MAC pro credentials in, i just bought things one at a time. i read the reviews, watched you tube reviews, got all the info i could to make sure i got a product i would use





i started with neutral colors and stayed away from trendy ones that wouldn't be in style for long. MAC products are def worth the cost, but some really aren't that bad. for example, the loreal cream eyeliner is only $2 less than MAC fluid line.





NEVER, EVER, EVER buy off of ebay- they are all fake. there are a few legit discontinued sites, but the makeup can be old/damaged packaging
Well i have a huge mac collection





you should first go ask your local mac if they have a mailing list, and if they do sign up because they will send you information on when they have promotional deals...sometimes these deals require you to spend a lot but you get free stuff with like every 50 dollar purchase





then out of every paycheck you get you should open a savings and put aside 30 dollars of every paycheck and only use that money for mac, but let it pile up for a while, so that way you can go in with about 120 dollars and spend it all there in one day





it feels great when you save to buy something you love





Good Luck..
