I've moved back to the US now but I would certainly have been hitting this site hard if I still lived in the UK. Classic it opened after I moved, but hey ...

i got a postcard about it

I like the one at brent cross! Having said that there's only 1 MA that I like - her name is Nicola and she's very nice...and now she recognises me whenever I go in its even better.
I also like the covent gdn one, the kensington one and the harvey nicks one, but the brent cross one is the easiest to park at

I go to the store in Cardiff & sometimes the counter in debenhams Cardiff too. Theres a reallllly nice blonde MA at the store, I've only seen her once though, but she was so friendly taking her time to show me how to apply fluidline & then helping me pick out some new eyeshadows. Another MA there was really snotty when I went in with my friend though, but when I went in with my mum she was really friendly, maybe she was just having a bad day or thought I wouldnt buy anything or something, idk.

I go to the MAC counter at Browns in Chester.
It's great in there, the assistants are so helpful & friendly.

I go to my local counter in Norwich. I remember looking at MAC and asking them to set one up in Norwich (this was ages ago) so I laugh and say that it's because of me we've got on here, though I know it's not. Pleased I've got one so near - though my bank balance isn't!

I go to the counter in House of Fraser Croydon. I must admit to feeling a bit intimidated the first few rimes I went but I found a lovely MA today. She was really helpful and didn't mind at all that I collared her before the till was even open! I will always look for her now.

I got to Selfridges and a Harvey Nichols and theres a mac store in bham city centre, when im in Leicester for uni i got to Debenhams.

MAC heaven hehe

[xSundayx]

I go to the one in Debenhams, Belfast; sometimes they're friendly but usually I feel like I'm bothering them if I ask questions.

[Ranjana]

I like the Covent Gardens Store - the assistants there are really friendly and helpful. A few at the Soho Store are also really nice.

Brent Cross is my local too, and the MA's are quite helpful too, but they tend to be quite busy everytime I'm there.

A good place in the West Midlands is the Beatties in Wolverhampton, they never seem to sell out of the LE stuff that fast because everyone tends to go to the MAC store in Birmingham

ooo i wonder if they have any of the A Muse collection left? *doubtful*

i got to the MAC counter in selfridges, i dont go to the actual store or the one in Harvey Nicks, i seem to have got to know the girls, what theyre like etc, and who can help me the most

I'd say there's a good chance there is, when I went to get my A Muse stuff there was still a fair bit of Lure

[Lalli]

^^i might just phone them up and ask coz i really want a few things.. Harvey Nichols had loads of Lure items left over aswell and they even had some sundressing stuff inc softwash grey and gold dusk

I might have to have a look

[cloverette]

went to london's selfridges yesterday. didn't see anything left from A MUSE except for 1 l/g & 1 l/s on display- don't know which ones though, as i wasn't paying attention to A MUSE.

yup in the mailbox

Quite often I ask my friend in New York to pick things up for me, but when I buy in the Uk my local MAC is in House of Fraser in Reading.
The MA's there I have spoken to have all been really helpful.

[xdaniellex]

ive been to the one in selfridges in oxford street, mac pro shop & the MAC shop in covent garden.. I prefer the covent garden one though.

[melly_x]

counter in Selfridges, Manchester

[txt_eva]

theres a MAC counter just opened up in Plymouth (down in SW Devon) and the SA is so so nice!

Unlike all of the London ones I met (mind you the Nice & Cannes ones weren't much better)

[madkitty]

Debenhams in Mk but Im looking forward to a trip to brighton on fri - someone warned me of a MAC shop there AAHHHHHHHHHHHH

[sophette]

I usually just go to London to get mine [I'm like 50 mins away on a train - Cambridge] as I go down there quite often it's all good. Whenever I'm at an airport where they sell MAC, I'll get some then. But I usually get my biggest hauls while in America as I go every year so I stock up.
