I really liked it in there, it was quite busy when I went and its down in those lil backstreets so you can barely find your way back there coz theres so many streets! The MUA seemed really nice but they were all too busy to attend to me properly so I just bought me sharkskin shadestick and left. Totally plan on returning though when I go back

I quite like the Brighton store, it's not been too busy when I've been in and the MAs have been friendly.

The pro store in london, Oxford St Selfridges and online

Oooh, thanks! I'll have to check it out next time! Do they take the pro discount card?

i shop at the counter at williams and griffin in colchester, essex. its only been open since last summer and tbh it can be a bit hit and miss. some of the ma's r lovely and some of the are horrible. ive had some quite bad experiences there. but theres no other mac stores near me :-(

I usually go to the House of Fraser in glasgow or online.

They're the Pro store for London so I damn hope so I haven't got a Pro card so I can't say I've used one myself in there but I'm 99% sure they do.

I've only been once but I was really impressed with the your counter!

I am in Norwich, will have to come visit. I already spend far to much money in there!

YAY me too!

my favourite girl in there is quite petite and has dark hair - i want to get a makeover with her. she recognises me now because i go so often!

i also use harvey nicks in london when i'm there and the SAs are really nice plus you can buy palettes and refills there. MUCH better than selfridges.

Opening this thread again!
I have a new favourite store... BRIGHTON! The girl who served me (her name was Claire) was SO SO SO lovely! I only went into buy a paintpot and one eyeshadow but I ended up spending £60 oops! She helped me out so much, offered to try the shadows on me that I was interested in etc, nicest MUA I've experienced in ages. AND its freestanding so no more depotting . I go to Brighton every couple of weeks or so because my bf lives near there, but I only usually pop into browse, but when I actually needed help I didn't realise they were so nice in there! Next time I won't take my boyfriend though because he was so bored, I'll send him off to Offspring or Size to entertain himself haha. I usually go to Canterbury as thats closest to me/I'm at uni there but they aren't particularly helpful there, or I'll go to Bluewater. They're usually fairly helpful there!

Yes they do.

Do you gals know if there is a store or a counter in Torquay?

I've been looking on MAC UK website but I'm not sure if I chose correct region - South-west should be ok but it looks like the closest one is in Plymouth
