IMATS Sydney

[rockin26]

^^ Let me know what flights you've booked and if I come I'll go on the same. One of my friends might come too, she did the same course as me and is freelancing too so she's quite keen

 

[xLongLashesx]

Yay!

So I'm going on the Saturday-

DJ813 departing Melb 07:15am arriving Sydney 8:40 AM

Return:

DJ876 departing Sydney (6:15pm) arriving Melb 7:45pm

not too happy about the return flight being so early but it was only $39

^^ what course did you do btw, I'm looking at one at Swinburne but i'm not so sure.

 

[rockin26]

I went to the Academy of Makeup in Sth Yarra but I'm also planning on doing the theatre makeup courses at Swinburne later this year, which ones are you looking at?

 

[xLongLashesx]

Well I wanted to do cert 2 but I can't justify the cash unless I really want to do it. I don't really want to work as a mua, just as a hobby and something to do while at Uni.

So I thought I'd start with Swinburne's short course, it's $450 for one night a week for 12 weeks I think, just learning the basics. They include the makeup and the last session is a mac tour or something.. sounds interesting.

Yeah it is pricey doing the cert II once you add product into it. I think only 3-4 of us from my course will go on to being working MUA's.

I looked at those courses but I only wanted to do the Advanced Fashion & Bridal one becuase the beginner one would only cover the stuff I've already done, but they won't let me do the advanced only even though I have a nationally accredited Cert II. Bugger! I really wanted to do the MAC tour!

Yep, I will be there!! I just got my butt into gear and bought my tickets

Now I just need to organise my flights with work

 

[miss_bailey]

I still need tickets too, do you think its a bad idea to get them on the day?

 

[MrsMay]

probably not a bad idea as such, but we dont know how much they are going to be on the day, that's the problem. hell - they might even be cheaper, who knows??

 

[xLongLashesx]

To be safe buy your tickets first and pick them up on the day

 

[simplyenchantin]

I booked plane tickets but haven't bought IMATS tickets yet

 

[xLongLashesx]

^^ Oh good! Are you going up just for the day?

 

[simplyenchantin]

Nah I'm coming up the Tuesday prior and leaving on the 15th! Jetstar had $19 tickets for tuesdays and wednesdays 25 August - 15 September 2009

My brother and his wife and my gorgeous nephew live in Sydney so it's a good excuse to spend some time with them and cuddle my nephew lots

Damn, I got confused and thought the MAC tour was for the first one! That's bizarre that they won't accept you into the second one without doing the first. I mean this isn't cert anything, just a short course and you're overqualified as it is! Did you email them just to make sure? You're a paying customer and all..

Yeah I emailed them about it and they said the trainer insists you have done the 1st course to do the 2nd one, regardless what qualifications you already have. I'm like
