MAC Pro Pan 15 Slot for Depotted/Refill Eyeshadows - UK Help!

[ratmist]

Hi, I know there are a few MAC Pro stores in the UK, but the problem is, I'm not a makeup artist so I'm not going to be able to purchase from MAC Pro. I need two 15 slot pro pans so I can depot around 30 eyeshadows - and hopefully get some B2M lippies in the process!

There are some eBayers in the US that sell the pans, but I was hoping not to have to pay to ship from the US so I could do this faster. I just got a quote from a UK eBay seller for £33.96 including shipping for two pro pans, which seems to me to be absolutely ridiculous, considering they sell for $12 in the US before shipping costs. £34 => $68USD! How much do these sell for in the UK?!?!

Help! Does anyone know of a good UK seller/swapper, either on MUA or Specktra, willing to help me? If you live in the UK and can help hook me up at a reasonable price, please PM me or just leave a message on this thread.

Anyone can buy from the pro store and site; you just can't get the pro discount. I always feel bad when I see people over-paying for trays & such on Ebay because they don't realize that they can buy it by going to the store or calling.

Good luck.

Ah! For some reason I thought you had to have a membership card. Got confused with the discount thing.

Could someone tell me how much they cost in the Pro store? £34 is flipping unreal. For that price, I'd rather create my own with some old cd jewelcases and magnetic strips!

i think at the mac counter that i go to its £15.00 if i remember correctly ime almost 100% sure it was that much.
oh and that is from a free standing mac store you can get the 15 palattes and the 4 one there.

You don't really need to get them from the pro store, any freestanding store should have them.

Yep, I dont think the concessions have them, but def most freestanding stores do....

Anybody can buy from the Pro-store. I recently bought 2 X 15 slot palettes from the Soho store which is incidentally near Oxford St. They cost £10 each so there's no need to buy from ebay.

Also if you cannot get to the store you can get them by mail order for a charge of £4 for standard delivery.

Now all I have to do is depot my eyeshadows!

Unless you're a Pro member you won't be able to buy from the Pro website. However you can buy from the Soho based Pro store. The details are on the main MAC website.

I bought mine from someone from a make up group who lived in the US because the ebay prices were soooo wrong! X

Anyone can buy pro site items by calling the customer service number on that site.
