Misuse? Long as the person paid for the make up I don't see what's the big steal of reselling it

Yes I am.

That's very sad then. You better review your terms and conditions that you signed when receiving the Pro card:

You may not sell or resell any of the services or samples thereof, you receive from us. We reserve the right, with or without notice, to cancel or reduce the quantity of any order to be filled or products or services to be provided to you that we believe, in our sole discretion, may result in the violation of our Terms and Conditions.

I don't think so since we have to pay for the discount. A lot of people resell their companies products. The only way I see it is wrong is if the product is stolen and is resold.

I respectfully disagree. Correct me if I'm wrong, but a two year MAC pro membership costs $65USD right? That's a steal given the discount Pro members receive. With the amount of collections that come out each year (in addition to permanent items), a Pro member could easily get enough product to make the fee worth it.

I think MACerette has it right. Using the Pro membership to buy products at a discount and then resell them (i.e for obscene amounts on ebay) is wrong. Products purchased are meant to be used in some sort of professional capacity. Pro membership does not equal "wholesale" discount for resellers. In fact, reselling them under any condition is against MAC policy.

ETA - Yes, what Mac-Guy said. Also, I'm not a Pro member but just got the info from the MAC site, LOL. Carry on...

I don't resell lol. I use it for myself cause I'm sick of missing on on limited edition.

this is not going to go well.....at all

In other news, I think I'm going to going try suntints after all. I was going to skip them, but figured they would be useful during my week in Maui. Aloha!

They are fantastic for a beach/pool vacation, especially as they are so easy to apply. One tube usually last me for a two-week vacation.

And enjoy Maui, I know I certainly did!

Excellent way to protect your lips!

I think I am going to have to narrow my list...to much fewer things. PL Bronzer Sun Dipped, PL l/p Shore Leave, and powder e/s in Jaunty & Barefoot. I think the rest is fairly dupeable. I am on the fence about Feeling Fresh and love the frosty finish, but ultimately I think I would be able to get something similar at a later date. I am torn on that one. Maybe I should skip Sun Dipped and get FF e/s instead...

Ooh, I've had my eye on that lippie. May give it a try now, since it looks great on you!

It is a very pretty shade...

Gosh I hope Crew doesn't disappear in the first 5 seconds, it's the only thing I want from the collection! I missed the Hibiscus powder last year and I am not missing this one dammit.

It's possible that there is no Pro discount on HS in the US...

I just called my local pro store and they said the same thing

That stinks considering I could have bought it last week in Paris with my pro discount. Oh well either way I'll most likely be sticking to my list. I wish people would stop abusing their privileges.

Be prepared to stalk. Good luck!

I didn't expect this collection to be released here so soon! I saw it today but I didn't have any time or my list ready and I hadn't read enough about it

I hope that by tomorrow there will be no sold out!

Spikesmom · May 10, 2012

Shellcat called the store here and they said we would get the discount.

If the UK got the discount on HS that looks good for us in the US.

MACerette said:
Yes.

There was also no discount on the S3/C3, and Chen Man collections here. I thought that was ridiculous, since the "special packaging" was a mere cardboard cover for regular packaging...

No wonder Feeling Fresh and Red Racer are sold out,
they are gorgeous!

And I only realised I wanted them right after they had sold out! But the counter here still has a few Red Racers so all is not lost

I'm surprised Jaunty isn't sold out yet actually, it's such a gorgeous neutral.
