I am not sure about Pacific Fair, it is on the Gold Coast (so many coasts, lol) which is south of Brisbane I am north of Brisbane.

It sucks not having a counter close by, doesnt it. Im only about an hour and a half away from a counter but it definitely makes a difference to how much mac I purchase. Ive sent repeated emails to my local myer to that effect however never receive a reply. When I think about how many times I have bought things from Napoleon simply because I want it for that night- I would much prefer to spend a little extra for MAC.

On the flipside I went to a counter for the very first time a few weeks ago and it was like being a kid in a lollyshop!

I like all of the MAs at the Myer MAC in Chermside (Brisbane).

Morgan (I'm pretty sure that that is her name, she is the shortest one) was my MA (and my sister's) for the most recent MAC Tech workshop and she suggested some really great products that I wasn't interested in/didn't know how to use before. Now I love them!

The two older MAs, Jade and ...ummm, the one who curls the end of her hair well...she has a dark brown bob sort of cut...damn! I forgot her name. Oh well, they were both on one day when my sister and I kept coming back and forth to MAC trying to decide about products/remembering that we wanted to look at something else. They were both very helpful and laughing (with us) at the fact that we just kept coming back and were both really excited to hear that we were coming back for the Tech workshop, which got us even more excited. The one whose name I can't remember invited me to the VIP night (I'm pretty sure that was her, I clouded over with excitement when she invited me so I could be wrong).

Then there is the taller of the younger MAs who I had my first MAC experience with, she was very helpful despite the fact that I myself was rushed for time. She has a very pretty name which, even if I could remember it (I remember that it was pretty) I wouldn't be able to spell it.

I think that there might be one other MA, but I haven't met her yet, but if the others are anything to go by, she must be great too!

EDIT: When I use the words older or younger in this post, I use them loosely, to signify a couple of years difference. Not that any of them are OLD in appearance. I hope you know what I mean!

myy lovely aussie specktrettes!!

please help me...
i'm going to get a makeup lesson soon with a friend... i have heard lots of good thing bout both kira and leah... if i'm not mistaken both of them are working in the pro store... but i heard kira's style is more of a dramatic look...

myy friend is new to makeup so it will be better for her to get hers done by someone who knows more about neutrals... if you know what i mean..

any recommendations?? i haven't really gotten a chance to know MUAs that are working in MYER so i have no idea at all..

if not then i'll stick with kira and leah...

^^ If you want a neutral look Kira is more than able to do one! However she's either going/already overseas at the moment and will be back at the end of August

I saw Kira in the pro store on Sunday

Edit:- Scratch that, it was Saturday I saw Kira

simplyenchantin · 07-27-2009, 10:20 PM #**158** (**permalink**)

I can't remember what date she said she's leaving but I remember her saying that she'll be gone by the time I'm back from Sydney.. and I'm back so I assume she's gone/going sometime very soon/etc!

sambibabe · 07-27-2009, 11:51 PM #**159** (**permalink**)

Yeah she is gone, because Hayley will be managing the Chapel st store for the next 2-3 weeks, I think.

when i entered MAC at the very first time, no one actually bothered to 'serve' me... like i didn't even exist at all... i knew that that would happen, so it didn't really disturb me... but as i went there more frequently, i started to realize that most of the MAs or SAs (no idea about the differences) weren't really friendly at all.. some were just plain rude....

there was this girl..... at MYER melbourne city... i asked her if they got painterly paintpot.. and she replied, "we do.." and she just stood there.... it was kind of an awkward moment.. it was like it was enough for me knowing that they DID have painterly p/p... i made a face and i said, "uh-huh... so.. i want to get it..." i had the urge to add, "DUHH!!" but i didn't dare.. i don't know if it's just me or.....

basically,, they just prefer serving girls with tons of makeup on, especially vibrant eyeshadow...

as far as NICE MAs goes... i have some good experiences with girls named Sarah.... one is from MAC chapel st. and one is from KIT cosmetics in MYER melbourne... not sure if KIT does have MAs, but Sarah is such a lovely girl....!!! i really really like her,, and she's just so prettily natural... ^^ and Sarah from MAC pro at chapel is really really helpful... she helped me pick lots of colors for myy pro pan palette and she gave me some useful advices.... as soon i entered the store, she came straight to me and offered assistance.... the other day i went to chapel st,, the girls were all busy chatting.... one of 'em did offer help though....

I AGREEE SARAH AT CHAPEL ST IS AMAZING!!!!!! She has a cute English accent. I was soooo lucky to have my make up done by her - it was my first experience with Face and Body foundation and she was so wonderful. She actually listened to what I wanted and how I liked my make up. She was so sweet, I had just found out i had cancer and needed a pick me up and she was so respectful and lovely. I actually sent an email to MAC telling them how impressed I was with her and asked them to pass it on to her and management.

I actually find a lot of the girls at Chapel street a LOT more friendly and helpful then those at Chadstone.

I found a lovely new MA at DJ's on Bourke st today, I've spoken to her a couple of times but today she patiently spent ages with me whilst I fussed around trying to find an e/s to match what I had. Normally I feel really rushed to hurry up and just pick something.

There was a guy there too helping an older lady with some new e/s looks, not just suggesting colours but actually giving her proper advice and I was like hang on.. this is the service we should be getting everywhere!!

I know where I'll be going from now on!

agreed - the service at DJs is GREAT! i do try to go there when I can.. they're usually a bit quieter too. I think I know the guy you mean, he goes above and beyond when you ask about product - REALLY helpful.

yea.. i find DJ's has more friendly and helpful MAs around.. and i do believe that's the same guy that i usually go to for an assistance.. he's just lovely!!

i don't know why but guys tend to be more friendly? this one MA in the PRO store, rob (thanks michelle for pointing that out) is one of the best.. well at least for me.. he made me feel comfortable just being there playing around with the shadows and stuff

another one of myy fave is hayley from the pro store and there is also this girl in short straight blonde hair with glasses in MYER bourke.. didn't catch her name tho..

Went in to Myer Adelaide today and the MA that served me was so helpful and friendly! I was so happy

The other MA gave me the weird look (like she was snickering or scoff...) as usual but I was so happy to finally get some good service at MAC!

You got a friendly MA at Myers??? Amazing! Every single time I've gone into the Adelaide Myer store I've been completely ignored, and sometimes pointed and laughed at, by the MA's there. I refuse to go anywhere near it now, I always get my MAC from the DJ's counter. I find the MA's are much nicer and less 'snobby', if that makes sense.
