It doesnt really hold all that much; i can fit the same amount into the mac carryall, which is lighter, and convenient. I dont have that large of a collection, 2 x15 eyeshadow palettes, blush palette, 5 quads, a handful of paints, a dozen liners, a dozen lipsticks, few mascaras, a few foundations and powders, and that sucker is FULL. I thought i was moving up from the carry all to a lot of room, but not so much. The thing that really drives me crazy is that it tips over easily, unless opened all the way, no matter how i arrange things inside. Since it has to be opened all the way, it takes up tons of space, so i normally have to set it on my floor, which is not convenient. Honestly, i only keep it because it says mac on it, and for $225, that's pretty sad. I store my things it when i'm at home, but i travel with the carry all. I havent really seen the heat resistant aspect of it, and it definitely is durable though. If you really want a MAC case, i vote for the carry all. Holds tons, light, doesnt take up a lot space. |

MAC EEs (well, at least the artists, in this case) get 3 makeup benefits. 1-60% makeup discount, 40% bag/case discount (up to $2,000.00) per year (after discount) 2-Gratis-Free products with the launch of every collection. You also get gratis from the last 3 big collections when you start. 3-EMS-Or Employee Makeup Supplies. Twice a year, the artists get an EMS allowance. The amount depends on the hours you work. I.e. a full-time artist gets more EMS allowance than a part-time artist. It ranges from like $200-$500. That is retail value though. Not $200-$500 after the 60% discount. They also give you an EMS allotment when you first start that doesn't count agains the other two. . Nice, huh? |
