I'm not much of a nail polish person. I tried to be, but I think all my years as a tomboy makes me rough on my hands and the polish wears out fast. I do keep my toes done, though. For summer I am LOVING Ocean Love Potion by Sephora for OPI or OPI for Sephora (why can I never remember?

).

Awesome! Have fun! It's like a candy store. I went yesterday for aqua creams, but so many were gone

. I did buy that shader brush that I added in pics of my TTB haul. I love it so. I think my new thing will be collecting MUFE brushes. I just love the way they look and they're actually damn good.

I wanna know for Alice + Olivia, and this seems like a good opportunity to test the waters since I have a feeling there will be some people who miss out at their stores or who later regret passing.

Yes, I'm interested in the brushes too, though I just ordered a few of Maxine's Mop artist brushes (I have a couple now that I just love), and given I don't know when my jaunt will be, these will have to do for now. But I'm glad to hear you like the one you got!

I got 3 ACs too - now that I know how to work them (that is, without a brush) I'm good to go - 3 more on order from Sephora - these are the bomb!!

What is the purchase limit for Mac? I never even thought about it.

Sephora brushes are so underrated, especially the platnium brushes.

I have one MUFE brow brush and one liner brush. To me, they are used for the same thing. I am used to using a Mac brush for my brows, so the MUFE brushes are for liner. Sometimes I do 2 different colors in one look, so they come in handy. I wish Sephora carried most of them.

It's 4 items online. I don't know if there's a store limit, but my guess is yes, especially since I know they limit at CCOs.

do you mean using your pro card? may i pm you/you pm me about this? i'm intrigued!

 

[purrtykitty]

I don't have a pro card, so I'm not really familiar with the pro card limitations. The regular MAC online limits the quantity of a single item a person can purchase in a single transaction.

And I'm not entirely sure about the in-store limitations. I suppose if you know your MA really well, you could probably get around it. At the CCO, some employees will let you get around transactional rules if you use two separate credit cards.

Like I said, just a theory I'm gonna test.

Yup, you can do it, I did it two weeks ago with items going bye bye.

(Use code lash510 for free shipping and zoomblack sample).

hmm. i know there's a limit on pro cards so i didn't know there was one w/ regular mac too! hmph!

i imagine if you go in to different stores you can get as many as you want hah. i've got 2 stores(pro, freestanding) and countless counters if need be!

vegas makes me happy SOMETIMES

 

[marusia]

I've been told from my pro-card holding friend that you can't get percents off with a pro card on items in limited edition packaging. For example, you CAN get discounts with Art Supplies because it's regular packaging. To the Beach, I don't think they will...I'm not a card holder (yet), but I'm pretty sure? that's right. LOL

 

[marusia]

The limits for maccosmetics.com are 4 of each item and no more than $500 before tax.

 

[purrtykitty]

Pro card holders cannot get discounts on collaborations/licensed collections (i.e. HK, Alice + Olivia, Disney) which often have special packaging), the couture collection, and Viva Glam. Everything else is eligible for the pro discount.

shontay, how did you get the products already? I've been checking the pro site non stop and they still aren't selling it. Did you buy online or from the pro store?

 

[chickatthegym]

^I think she said she went to the Pro Store

 

[LC]

oh ok thanks

my to the beach wishlist:

131
bronze oil
lustre drops
sweet and punchy
float on by


i'm getting mixed answers on if pro discount is given to pro artists...any ideas?? also if it's not given for the stuff with special packaging, do you think it would still be given for the bronze oil and lustre drops since they don't have the special packaging?
