Yep thats the right address! There's 2 parts to Somerset mall so you want to be on the same side as Fifth Saks, the MAC store is actually on the top level. I actually got an invite to an event on Aug. 12th that I cant make it to, but if you want to go, PM me and I'll send you instructions! =)

Yay! I just called and the woman said my info wasn't in the system but she spoke to her supervisor and said that I was approved, my card will be charged Tuesday, and the card will arrive in two weeks

I can't wait!

well, after wanting to apply for months,(or should i say a year) i think im going to get all my documents together and just do it. you ladies and gents have convinced me to finally apply, even though i had an application filled out and sitting on my desk since LAST august... lol i've been freelancing for a long time, and have the following that i want to send in:

photo ID
business card
letter of reccomendation
blank contract


do you all think this is okay? or should i include anything else? help me out! lol =) thanks guys!

 

[fafinette21]

i'm getting all my stuff together to send in my application! so far i have my application, a resume, a blank bridal contract and i am waiting on my new business cards (which are way better than my homemade type ones lol). i called the number and the lady i spoke to said you can't fax anymore, definitely have to mail. so i'm going to xpress mail it, luckily it's just to toronto so it should be there in around 2 days. has anyone from the GTA mailed to toronto? if so, how long did it take for the charge to show up and how long until you received your card?

 

[nursee81]

i am so happy i just got my pro card in the mail, i have been stalking my mail man all wk and finally its here. just in time for the new collection. i cann't wait for the wkend to come.

I just got my PPID card!!!!! I got uused to the big discount when I worked for MAC...I really missed it. I got in three weeks!
I sent one of my freelace contracts, two bs cards, and a copy of my old MAC staff card.
Can't wait to use it.

 

[mac*lover]

I have a quick question, this may be stupid and I read the first post on this thread but I don't get the pro's of a pro card part.
Can I use the pro card to order on maccosmetics.com and macpro.com?
Since I don't live anywhere near a MAC store/counter, I'd only be able to order online.

Maccosmetics.com has the same shadows as MacPro.com BUT the Pro site has all the additional pro items.

Pros- A nice discount depending on your profession.. MA's get 40% off. Which is nice when you have to keep up with the current trendy colors. Right now I have a professional client who needs to do a special look for her promo pics, I have to buy a few odd things that are pricey.

Cons- You can't use it on Holiday Collections or at any counters. So if you want Color Forms (the latest from Nords) you pay full price. But for me, thats ok, since those colors are pretty much available anyway.

Thanks! ^_^

[nursee81]

the letter od recommendation has to be from an employer i cannot be from a client they told me. so i sent in to contracts that had my clients info and a business card.
