Yes, I know I'll have to pay shipping. -Thanks.

oooo good question. I hope the answer is YES for you....

wOOt, I got approved! I was worried as I applied as a photographer, and it seems easier to get one as a MUA than a photographer (but I wanted to be honest with my "profession")... so I got antsy because it had been 3 weeks, and called and they said I was approved! It's my birthday, and I'm really sick, so this was nice to hear because otherwise this day was sucking

 

[Sushi~Flower]

^^^ Yeah! Great news

I would imagine they would, After all, one of the 2 founders of MAC was a photographer

 

[hello_kitty]

Thanks!

I just felt a bit iffy for mine because the magazine I worked for is an automotive one, but I shot a lot of their models for promotional stuff and covers. I still worried that wouldn't be enough, but I guess it was! I did a masthead, resume, and both my personal and magazine business cards. I figured more was better in my case.

Eeeee, I'm so excited! Now I just gotta wait for my card to show up in the mail

I hate waiting, I'm soooo bad at it! I've been on a MAC free diet since I sent in my application, and I have a list building up of stuff I need to buy!

YAY, you and me both! I think we sent ours in during the same time period so that makes sense! I got the biggest smile when I opened up my mailbox and saw that envelope

I already did a little haul at my local store, and hopefully will get into NYC to the pro store this weekend.

Aww, I'll think of you next time I go!

It's a great place, very different than the typical retail MAC store. There's tools and black face charts out so you can sit there and play around and create stuff yourself. And they really don't breathe down your neck. Many people have negative experiences it seems in pro stores because they go there with basic makeup questions, and it's really not the type of place to do that. Maybe that's why the store is all hidden and unmarked, heh.

Yesterday someone was doing a photoshoot with a model in the studio, so that was neat to see. I wanna use their studio!

Has anyone dropped their app off at a store? I didn't have time to go to the post office to deal with the customs and such for mailing to Canada so I just dropped it at a store. Just wondering if it takes that much longer.

 

[hello_kitty]

^ Unless you're sending a massive packet/package, you don't have to deal with customs with Canada with a first class letter. My stuff all fit in a normal sized business envelope, and it's something like 75 cents and you don't have to fill out any forms. It took about one week for my letter to go NJ to Toronto.

Just letting you know

I still had to stand in line like 15 minutes to mail it out, which I can see people seeing as a hassle. Seems like doing anything at the post office takes forever, at least at my local one

I have no idea why they even have the box to put in a code bc we don't qualify

...I guess they figure if you get a discount you can pay for shipping. We do get 5 free shipping over $150 a year though...for me it's really hard to hit that $150 so I have paid for shipping....

I want to know this answer too!

 

[ImMACnificent]

The 35.00 came out of my account a few days ago. Then today I got my "official" email with my pro card number so I already went and bought a few things online!

Cant waittttttt to get the real card in the mail.


It said in an email that I get a "welcome package" Anyone know what that entails?

 

[hello_kitty]

I never got a welcome package, unless that is their fancy term for the envelope the card comes in. Which I think is what they're talking about... if not, dammit, I want my package!

I like how MAC doesn't do things in a standard order... I got my card first in the mail, and then about 5 days later the email, but others get the email and then their card.

 

[pmjc69]

I'm sorry if this question sounds a bit dump. Just wanted to get a few things clear before I apply for my pro card.

So you could order through the macpro website alone? Just like how it is on the regular mac website? I always thought that you have to call in to place an order and such. So with ordering on macpro.com, do you have your own credit card with your name on it? I sometimes tends to use my close one's instead when mine is not available.

thanks gurls!

 

[MaskedBeauty]

^ i'd like to know that as well. I was reading in earlier posts in this thread that you can't use the pro discount when purchasing online?? Also, can anyone tell me what the student kit has in it?? Does anyone have it and do you like it?? Thank you

 

[hello_kitty]

You can order online at macpro.com once you have your card.

I *think* the credit card has to be in your name, but I am not 100% sure. They wouldn't let me use my husband's card at a freestanding store, so I would imagine that online would have the same policy.
