Soooo true! I was at chaddy today, went to the counter 3 times, and couldnt leave with nothing, so i ended up getting zoomlash! haha.
I do have a big spending spree planned though next week

I just seem to get ones that are... completely unhelpful and sometimes cold. ...I went once, to Myer Melbourne City, with a practically bare face - concealer, a little mascara and chapstick - and all of them looked at me like I was weird and ... bug-like, just because I didn't fit the regular clientele or whatever. Yeah, yeah, I have next to no makeup, but I still want that goddamn eyeshadow, so shoot me

I havent been to a MAC counter as yet just the fact that they are too far to go for me having a child and going on public transport....so i avoid it and just buy from ppl on makeup forums like this one(member of makeup talk)...
But i love the girls at Napoleon they are just great...and they have even complimeted me on my makeup application and liner i was shocked lol...and i even sat and had coffee with them while i picked wat i wanted ...they were really helpful just great!!

 

[cassandra-ellen]

I love the girls at NP, but today i went to the store at chaddy, and she didnt know what buffing in foundation was.
Huh?
All well. I heart the girls at Fountain Gate which is only like a 2 minute drive away!

 

[chantelle8686]

hmm i really need to meet up with some sydney girls and just go on a buying spree in a MAC store lol...anyone game???

 

[cassandra-ellen]

I would if i was in sydney!!!
I totally want a melb shopping partner! Lol.

I am appalled to hear about all those rude MAs! Fortunately, I have yet to encounter a rude MA (touch wood). Visiting MAC store requires my patience - I work 6 days a week and Sunday is the only day I get to go out for shopping and the last thing I need is to line up to test or pay stuff! I hate going to the Chapel St store as it is full of people on Sundays and you can't get any service from TWO MAs. Not great for buying stuff, but fantastic to try out absolutely everything as MAs are too busy to notice you there

. In Chadstone, the girl with a long blonde hair someone already mentioned was great and so was the gay guy. Westfield Doncaster was crappy.. The young girls didn't know much about products and many stuff hiding in the drawer, making them unavailable for testing (and have three of the same color lipsticks for testing? doh). It was good to go to a brand new store though.. I got to open all the brand new Paint Pots and made first smears and they weren't even mine! My favorite store has to be Myer Melbourne and Megan is lovey and helpful. You mention something and she will bring everything over and try them on you. There is also another lady in there I like, but I didn't get her name. I had to pay for things really quickly and get out before hubby could find me (and my receipt).

I love Georgie and Sam at Adelaide Dj's, Which is such a shame coz they were at Myers (I HATE Dj's - SNOOTY BIARCHES!) and I get myer rewards points, so I buy half my stuff at myer (for my brownie points) then go down to Dj's to see G/ S... It's kinda sad but hey I love 'em girls!

At Myers, I love Cassie and the darker girl with lovely, long Luscious , hair.. always forget her name....

 

[cassandra-ellen]

Well, im really hoping that when i go to Chapel Street next week that i get some good customer service since i will be spending so much! Haha.

yea... totally... if i just wanna look around and play with some stuffs, i prefer weekends cause then they will just avoid us... lol

hmmm.... Megan?? can you describe her?? i have never got the MA's names...

oh and btw.. is it rude if i just wait for the MA whom i know is nice to serve me while actually there's other MA who's available?? if you know what i mean....

OMG YES! Haha. Let me know when you wanna go shopping!! I so need a mac buddy. haha, all my friends dont understand why i spend my money on mac!

 

[miss_bailey]

myystiqueen: I semi think thats rude. If it was me I'd just keep looking at stuff untill the one I wanted was ready. But I know what you mean, I prefer to give my sale to girls I know and like. Which I know is kind of bad but dont care.

Wow I am so glad to find this thread, I could complain about Chadstone MAC counter MA's til the end of time.

I don't know if I should bother getting into it, but one girl there FLATLY REFUSED to help my friend and I, to the point where I asked the blonde guy to help us out, he called the same girl over, and she tried as hard as she could to get out of serving us - she was doing NOTHING. I mean hello, it's your JOB to try out products on customers - she lost a huge sale!

So, now I go to the Chapel St store only. It's seriously less busy. Sometimes you have to wait a little while, but someone will come up to you eventually. I was there last sunday, a lovely guy named Daniel helped me out, he was totally informative, actually taught me how to use certain products that I wasn't going to buy anyway since I already had them - he spent at least an hour with me. He was tall, dark brown shortish hair - couldn't really point out much else about him.

Also, another time I went there another girl with dark hair and GORGEOUS tattoos on her arm/back helped me and a few people I was with, she spent about two hours with us and was really HAPPY to do it. I knew her name but I've forgotten it now... there was also a blonde girl with long wavy hair that colour matched me the same day, she was very nice.

I would recommend any Melbourne person to go to the Chapel st store, especially because they have pro items! I haven't been to the city store or anywhere else though...

Hope that helps anyway!

 

[cassandra-ellen]

I've had the guy at chadstone. I dont know though, i think he was really nice when i went to buy something but i think he was a bit annoyed when i asked for his advice on blush. Hmmm... not sure.

If you want to speak to a specific MA, politely say to anyone else that offers to help you that you're waiting for ________ to become free and ask if they can let _______ know that you're waiting. Don't just ignore the other available MA.

i was reading this thred to see what everyone else was thinkng, just like me..i was really scared to go to MAC cuz i found the MAs judged me and thought that i wouldnt spend any money. i would always just go in and buy what i saw on the net and leave, no one ever seemed to care they just sold it and moved on

but that was ages ago. im surprised no one else from melbourne has commented on the change of MAs at Chapel St. i went in there once and did my normal thing then one of the MAs offered to try stuff on, id never seen her before and she was really nice, so i kept going bak and now i love them all. they got a new manager, shes got long long blonde hair and she really looks after me (even tho i cant remember her name!

)and now everyones really nice! i love the chapel st MAs now, they always help me and i dont feel scared anymore

 

[simplyenchantin]

Her name is Kira and she is lovely

 

[tana2210]

mishka at djs adelaide is great

 

[ladydangerlover]
