The funny thing about MAC is that it isn't all that much more expensive than drugstore brands. I use both MAC and drugstore lipsticks, simply because the drugstore is less than a mile away and the nearest place to buy MAC is a 30-45minute drive. The last lipstitcks I bought were a Revlon 24 hour lip (the kind that you paint on, let dry, then apply sealant) for $13.95 and a MAC lip for $15. I like each one and wear each one. To me, it's all about getting the right color, I don't care about the brand. The most expensive lip I've bought was Rockalily, but only because the shipping from UK cost more than the actual lip.
I think MAC stuff, along with other "higher" end brands are wayyyyy more expensive abroad. A friend from NZ told me that the Nars blushes that are around $30 in the US, are about $60 where she lives. Same goes for MAC, as far as I know. It's quite expensive in Europe as well! We're just lucky here, haha.
