Just a quick note to say hello from an uncharacteristically sunny London.
I'm Sarah (39, single and dieting) and I've been abusing M·A·C for about nine years now I guess and here I am. I say "abusing" because until very recently I'd not had any formal training and I was just inexpertly doing makeup on myself.
Here's the news that others on the forum might find interesting. I've just successfully completed the very first professional makeup artistry course that M·A·C has run for members of the public. I'll post more about the training course on another thread because it will get lost on this one.
I spend most of my time in London but have been lucky enough to travel extensively in the past few years so have visited M·A·C stores and counters in cities across the USA and Canada. On my first trip to Montreal in 1999, I spent so much on M·A·C that I saved the cost of the airfare compared to what the products would have cost me in England. I'm off to Atlanta at the end of the month where I'll be able to make full use of my newly acquired PPID card (still only a student one) in Perimeter Mall
As you might guess from my handle I'm a coffeeholic as well as a M·A·C-aholic - I regularly used to drink 32 espresso shots a day (and sleep afterwards). I've cut back hugely though simply to try and lose weight as I was drinking quadruple shot lattés and that's a lot of milk. It got expensive too at over £80 a week and as I'm between jobs at the moment I need to save all my money so I can spend it on M·A·C products - my wishlist after the course is extensive!
I used to think my M·A·C habit was bad until I saw what a lot of the folks on here had in their collections! What can I say but "respect"
I'm something of a M·A·C evangelist so tend to get other people hooked on M·A·C too.
That's all for the moment but I'll sit down and write something meaningful about the M·A·C makeup courses in a bit.
Thanks to the powers that be for providing this great forum

PS - I'll try to sort out an avatar later as well
