I live in rural NH. The closest MAC counter is almost an 1.5 hours away, but for my discount, I have to travel about 2 hours to a f/s store. Oh, well, I do a lot of ordering online.

I grew up in a small city in MA, about 30 minutes outside of Boston, but I LOVE living in the middle of nowhere. Having to travel for "serious" shopping or culture (museum, shows, etc.) is a small price to pay IMHO for the peace of where I live. My oldest sister, on the other hand, thrived on living in Boston.

I live in the UAE, I spend most of my time in Dubai but I live in Abu Dhabi, about 2 hours away. The weather is.... not so great, super SUPER hot summers (about 40 degrees C) and crazy humidity, "winter" doesnt really start until december-ish. Still, its pretty safe and fun- especially in Dubai where there is always something going on. In Abu Dhabi we have 2 free standing MAC stores, in Dubai I've lost count! About 5 free standing and a few counters I think... ladies love their makeup here

We don't have a pro store though, and collections come waaay late. We don't get the N collection till next week- but it helps me not get swayed by the hype and gives me time to decide what I want to get.

Gorgeous pictures everyone! Everything looks so beautiful and green, here its all construction sites and high rises

Right now it's this. Storming absolute buckets, but at least my basil and coriander are getting a good soaking.

Normally it's more like this:

We have trams here which is really cool, not many cities still have them running. Melbourne is considered to be quite stylish and I reckon its true, people seem to put alot of effort into the way they dress. There are sub-cultures galore. We have beautiful parks, gardens, galleries and sooooo many cafe's! Of course there is a MAC pro store too >_< I love it here

Another Melbourne girl here! I wouldn't live anywhere else if you paid me. Melbourne is the sporting and cultural hub of the country, actually spectrolite has summed things up pretty nicely so I'll just finish off with a picture!

 

[Girl about town]

Thanks for all the gorge pics, want to move to melbourne now. What can i say about Glasgow it rains all the time , its full of scary neds!!! it has terrible poverty and drug abuse , but its also a very vibrant cosmopolitan city in its own way. The shopping is fab as is the nightlife. dollymix and ritchieramone i agree about the HOF ma's often they will totally ignore you and leave you standing like an idiot, you need to be really pushy to get any service most of the time, but its the only one we have got soooo!!! what can we do xxx

 

[x.DOLLYMiX.x]

Hey girl about town, do you know any good clubs in glasgow? Iam going there on sat night and I have only been to Karbon thanks for any replys.

 

[aleksis210]

I live in Boca raton fl....I think someone said that they live in miami and have the rudest people there...well boca has the snobbiest..as far as drivers, I USED to think florida had the worst drivers until I lived in michigan for a year..haha, I guess it's different everywhere! Here is the view from my bedroom window...

I would give an arm and a leg to live in Europe

I live in downtown Toronto and I've lived here my entire life. My boyfriend and I just bought a house in Brampton (about a 30-40 min drive from Toronto) and I am just dreading it. It should be finished being build around July 09. Where we're going driving is a MUST. I am so use to walking everywhere and there I won't be able to do it. Oh well, I'll be still working downtown, therefore I'll still have my lunch hours to walk to the MAC Store ^_^.

I live in the west island of montreal. I really like it. The west island gets a bad wrap from other montrealers. It's a middle class/well off suburb made up of a lot of white people. the population is 60% french. I liev about 15 mins(by car) away from my college, but by bus it takes 1hr +. That is the thing i hate the most. I dont want to drive (financial reason and enviormental reasons) and our public transport sucks the big one.
I'm not far from downtown (30 mins by car, 1 hr + by bus) which is nice.

The only thing i dont like is the attitude of some people. I used to work in retail, and i'm telling you english middle aged mothers are the worst. They have a sense of superiority. I worked at the same store for 1.5 year, so i got a really good sense of local population. Generally people were nice, but like i said, english middle aged women, no thank you. the nicest people tended to be french.

Anyway, Another thing i hate is our stupid freakin politics. Theres the whole sepratism issue (which i think is utter nonesense) but Quebec in general is so behind the rest of Canada, our health care system in specific. My mom's a nurse (30+ years expirience) so i get to hear all the horror stories. It scares me.





Dispite the things i dislike, i would not leave montreal. Actually, i would. I place on moving to hudson, which is just off island, more woodsy and country. But it's still very close to montreal. I could never move far away. This city is my home and im so thankful to live here. I think montreal has such a strong identity. We have so much culture. We have great nightlife. Tons of great summer festivals. Amazing food. And the Canadiens! What could be better?

I live in Brooklyn, New York. I just moved back here from Philadelphia (where I've lived for 3 years for college) to do a 6-month internship in the garment district before moving back to Philly to have another year and a half of school. I'm back living with my parents, which is kind of lame, but whatever.

Brooklyn is pretty cool because it's more low-key than Manhattan, but it's still NYC proper, so it's still busy and fun. I like that you can find anything - I cook a lot, and often exotic/ethnic cuisine, and I swear I can usually find the most obscure ingredients that I've never even heard of before without too much trouble. And I can get around easily, at any time of day or night, which is great because I have no idea how to drive (although I'm supposedly gonna learn soon).

There are also a TON of MAC stores and counters - at least 3 or 4 in Brooklyn and probably 5 or 6 in Manhattan. The only bad thing is no malls, so no close CCO's... the closest one is on long island and it takes like an hour and a half to get to, and since I don't drive, I'm usually SOL unless I can convince my mother or someone to drive me, which doesn't usually work. Ah well.

I live in Stockholm, capital of Sweden. It is very safe, reasonably clean and has a fair bit of green areas, like parks and stuff. I wasn't born here though, I grew up in a smaller town in the north. My parents are from a small village north of the arctic circle, so I've spent a lot of time there visiting grannies and cousins and whatnot. This means I've seen both the midnight sun and the northern lights a gazillion times, and never really understood how exotic that is to non-swedes. The north used to get a lot of snow in the winter (until I moved south to Stockholm, I had never experienced a christmas with no snow) but lately the weather has been weird and it's been raining a lot.

I live in the west of Ireland, in Galway city. I live around a 10 minute walk from town, and a 5 minute walk from the university I'm going to, so it's pretty handy.
I guess it's a pretty nice place to live, except for all the rain. There's plenty of green areas and nice things to look at, but the weather really is brutal. It rains pretty much every day. And everything just looks grey and depressing in the rain.
You can pretty much walk everywhere here, which is good cos I don't drive and I don't plan on learning to. The buses could do with being more frequent and cheaper though.

 

[Rennah]

I love Bermuda! I've lived here my entire life.
I'd sum it up as beautiful, small, and expensive!

We have one MAC store, which is a 15 min. bus ride from my house.

If you have any questions about what it's like here just ask.

 

[M.A.C. head.]

I live in Fairfax VA

It's rather boring, but that's also probably because I've only lived here for a few months and I have basically no friends.

It's nice, I'll say that. Upscale, quiet.

I miss California, A LOT.

I live in a small town in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. The climate is pretty crappy because Cape Breton is an island and I live pretty much right on the coast so the winters are very wet and the summers are very humid. The violent crime rate is relatively low, I can only remember two murders ever occurring here. Most of the crime around here is either drug related or just minor things like vandalism. We have a bad reputation for some reason though, like some of my friends from the next town over won't come here at night because they're afraid they'll get attacked or something.

There are literally no major stores here. The only place that sells clothes is one of the tanning salons (yes, we have multiple tanning salons and no clothing stores) and the only place that sells makeup is the drug store. The nearest mall is about fifteen minutes away and all they have there is Sobeys, Zellers, Stitches, Reitmans, a dollar store, a furniture store, a card shop and a hair salon. The nearest MAC is like five hours away, I've only been there once. We don't even have a Tim Hortons!
