Amen! If anyone asked me, forget it. I would offer to friends, but for those who asked or assumed...sorry. Besides, they only allow $2k/yr and I generally used it all up myself!

haha that's what I thought "$2,000 wont be nearly enough for me" lol. I even told the manager and she couldn't stop laughing. She told me I had a MAC problem haha.
I made it clear to everyone I'm not willing to be fired for them so nobody gets my discount but ME. I guess can't wait to start ...

NO no $2000 will be enough - the only time it's not is when you are trying to stock your freelance kit. Just for personal use - you ususally won't come close. You get so much free stuff that you won't need to buy as much as you normally do. I now only buy my staples - foundation, wipes, lashes etc. You get so much in gratis and we swap with each other for the stuff you want. You may buy one or two things from the new collection but that's it. For brushes we wait for EMS and after awhile you will never need another brush. After awhile you will stop having places to put the stuff you get and will start giving it away. AND trust me I am the biggest MAC fan and thought I would never get to this point but I am there now. My kit is full, my drawers are full, the floor is full of accessories/ bags. There is stuff is everywhere.

haha yea my mom said the samething "$2000 is more then enough" she added "if you go over that I'll kill you!" lol. I was going to get some more brushes by my manager said to wait for EMS too, she said that's when everyone stalks up. I don't plan to freelance on the side anyway, too much with work and school.
Hey when I'm out in the East Bay visiting my cousins maybe I'll stop by your store to visit and make a purchase. :-D

How is EMS divvied up? Is it 2K a year flat, or a certain amount every so often?
And how much do you get to kick off when you start?
Also, did I read somewhere that when you start you get gratis from the last 2 collections? Is that true?
(I haven't gotten my info yet- I start in less than 2 weeks)

Oh COOL, let me know when you are coming so I can let you know if I will be there or not. And yeah - ems is great for brushes if you are already a MAC addict. Every once in awhile someone is hired that doesn't have all the basics so they use their first EMS to buy colors and things. But the rest of us stock up on brushes and bags. You know it's bad when you start asking for brushes that you have absolutely no use for. You have 8 each or your favorites and now you are ordering that brush that looks like a hoof that no one ever uses just to have it.
