Well, I saw a Sephora shop from the bus and I made a mental note to go back to Gent to the shop. I might be wrong, now that you say that you make me doubt, but really... well, in any case, next time I go to Gent I will have a good look and let you know
Great thread. I need to keep an eye on this. DH may take a job with his firm in Netherlands or Belgium within a couple of years. I would love to move back to Europe and knowing that MAC is close by makes it even better!
I just checked the French website and compared prices to what I paid recently and they are definitely not the same. Most items seem to be a little more expensive in Belgium
whiieee, more belgium people ^^ (newbie)
,i've been wanting to go have a look at the Mac store in antwerp but i'm afraid its gonna be so expensive :s
are the prices reasonable? can someone maybe give me the basic prices there for like lipsticks ,pigments ,etc...?
now i buy most of my stuff from the internet but damn shipping takes so long
these are the prices I paid recently:
eyeshadow pots 14,75€
Flashtronic eyeshadows 18€
mineralize skin finishes 23,50€
lipstick 17€
gloss (depending which kind) between 15 & 16,75€
pigments 20,50€
Only 1 MAC and no Sephora? Why don't companies come to Belgium? I usually have to go to France or Germany to get my goodies. Well I'm sooo lucky that I am able to get my stuff through the American site. This damn exchange rate just kills us American's living abroad. Anywho that's wierd that MAC would be different prices in different European countries that use the Euro.
nope, no B2M here in Belgium (not in Holland either)
I asked when the store first opened and they said they'd look into it, to see if it would be legal here to have a program like that but not to count on it getting thru.
As for the pro part... I've been told that the Antwerp store would indeed become a pro store by the end of the year!
I'll keep you posted on developments on both topics

antwerp is not close by but its worth a trip
btw: does anyone know if urban decay ,milani or NYX is supposed to come here?
I think UD is only sold at Sephora. Even in the States. I live close to the French border so I shop in Lille for both MAC and Sephora. Its only about a 45minute drive for me. Plus Lille has an awesome store called Printemps which I have newly discovered and I LOVE IT!
