What is your latest haulage?

[rockin26]

I love Kira and Dan at the Pro Store, he gave me some great tips to get my freelancing going and was really encouraging

 

[putrikardinal]

ahh thank you sambibabe! i'll definitely go and see her for my next purchase

can i just say, that as a new member, i am sooo happy to have everyone here being so nice to me

its just nice to be talking to such nice addicts like you guys. i mean my bf has been wonderful enough for being there listening and pretending like he's interested whenever i jump up and down talkin about mac or get my makeup in the mail. haha, he probably thinks im a bit

which is why before i actually drive him

i decided to try and join a makeup forum, and spektra is greattt

and my bestfriends love their makeup but theyre not really so much on the crazy side like most of us are (i mean this in a very good way, i love being crazyyy about makeup, lol)
so yea, thanks again girllss, for have given me a very warm welcome

x

 

[putrikardinal]

i probably just have a bad luck with the store then

 

[rockin26]

I'm sigle at the moment so I don't have a man to yap about my habit to. But this may be a good thing because then I don't have anyone to hide my spending from mwahahahahaha!!!

Putri - I know what you mean about bad MUAs at MAC!

Until the counter in DJs opened here, it was ALWAYS hit and miss at the Myer counter whether I'd leave feeling good, or feeling horrible. And everytime I went, all the old MUAs would be gone, and they'd have all new ones - so I couldnt even get to know the nice ones!
But now I LOVE the girls at the DJs counter

they see me coming

Nah.. there are some MUAs (and some store) I would avoid too.. Ask about colour combinations and upcoming collections. Once you get to know them, they'd be happy to yap with you!

hahahhaha yes! so true! that actually made me laugh, i just got my bf to read that post too cause he just had to read it. haha he thinks im

hahha. nah he's alright with my makeup obsession.
its a give and take thing i guess.

i know.. and it actually gets pretty frustrating

. i mean you go there hoping to get something that would actually suits you, well most of the times we'd already have our list

from watching videos on youtube and reading reviews from forums like spektra!! but still, we'd think who knows better than the MUAs themselves. and even though sometimes they dont mean to not be friendly, (everyone has their bad days) we're still like

and, nothing..

sambibabe told me that theres this nice one who i can go to though, fingers crossed, she'd be my nice MUA

cause i wanna have one too!

 

[simplyenchantin]

I second Robyn on the go see Kira at Chapel St. If I could have a sister, it would be her! She answers all my stupid questions and helps me with every single little thing I need and gives me tonnes of samples and stops me buying things I don't need, seriously she's like a BFF lol! And she knows that I buy most of my stuff from CP's and doesn't care, and I bring in my pressed pigment palettes and she goes nuts over them haha.

Best MUA I've *ever* dealt with and she would literally go to the ends of the store to help me haha Oh, and she taught me how to do winged eye liner AND figured out that I have dry skin so now I've stopped buying the wrong foundations!

Wow, that was a long post, anyway, she's awesome!! Go see her!!

 

[sambibabe]

Crystelle will be at the store from Sundays to Thursdays, I think.. Tell her Natalie (da Asian gal who comes around sundays) recommended you

. There is another male MUA at Burke St DJ and I can't remember what his name was. He is such a sweetie too. He has a full makeup on, so you can't miss him!

I totally agree! My bf doesn't get my makeup obsession but he obliges me with gifts from MAC on special occasions!

is kira the store manager? the one with long blonde hair?
she seemed nice, when i went to my mac technique class she was the MUA who was doing the demo on the makeup application.
i never get to actually talk to her though, she was with someone else that night, and i got this other MUA who wasnt very helpful.
and there is this other MUA, i think his name is Rob, he seems very nice too, but then again, he's always busy doing other things. the only reason why i think that he seems nice is because he always comes up to me (whilst talking to other people) and asked me if i needed help, he's always the one who caught me looking lost. and whenever i said yes, he called these other MUAs (which was fair enough cause he's with other people) who again on the days i was there werent very helpful. so really i just havent had a goodluck, i guess

againnn. i'll try my luck for my next purchase. i'll get back to you guys

Oh yeah? Is there a posting requirement like that? lol.. I definitely need that ban, so I can stop snooping around there lol.

 

[simplyenchantin]

Haha yeah Nat, you need to do certain amount of posts before getting access to the clearance bin.

putri: Yeah she's the store manager, and she can be REALLY busy, just as everyone else there, but when she does have time she's amazing, that's a given obviously. If I go in on a Friday I'd be nuts to expect her to spend an hour yapping with me because it's a busy day. I try to go in during the week when it's quiet to do all the fun things! Rob and Dan are both really sweet too, and there's a girl named Belinda with tattoos on her arm who is lovely.

You're right though, it sucks when they're busy coz you can't really stand around and chat.

Also maybe you don't look as lost as me so maybe everyone is just extra nice to me LOL! I think Kira thinks I'm hopeless so she feels obliged to "lead" me haha

 

[rockin26]

I corner Kira on Saturday mornings when it's fairly quite except for a few makeovers in the chairs (which I always see Dan doing?). Rob is really nice too I just haven't had allot of dealings with him.

I haven't been to Myer MAC or DJ's for ages but they seem to have a high turn over in staff, maybe I should apply for a job there??? hehehehe oh wait maybe it's high cos the working conditions aren't good?

They are looking for MAC MUAs in Melb CBD at the moment

You should apply!

 

[rockin26]

^^ Thanks BB! I'm already on it, the only problem is my course still hasn't sent me my certificate yet and I need to send a copy in to be able to apply. I've emailed them to see if they can send me something to show I passed so I can continue my application. They're pretty bad with the admin so fingers crossed they can send me something!

 

[putrikardinal]

ahhh thatd be soo cooll

fingers crossed!
good luck love!!
thatd be the best job everrr.

annddd if you get it, you can be my nice MUA

wooohooo haha im excited for you! xx

 

[rockin26]

I'll let you know how I go but I don't really think I'll have much of a chance, I've not been certified for long and it's been 8 years since I've been in retail so they'll probably get a hundred of more qualified people apply.

No harm in giving it a go!
