Hi,
I was just wondering if the Brown Thomas Store in dublin is the only place in Ireland that accepts the MAC PRO card?
Thanks
Intriguing, I’ve not even noticed this…
Thank you for another great article. Where else could anyone get that kind of information in such a perfect way of writing? I have a presentation next week, and I am on the look for such information.
Hi Amy. I was looking on the website you left for makeup forever but its not giving me a link for the application to download. I already have my MAC card but really want the discount for makeup forever. Please email me @ getn2yourskin@gmail.com
wow those are incredible. Thank you so much for sharing. I can’t wait to get my hands on those amazing deals.
Thanks Amy, i’l look into it. Really hope it wont be too hard to apply for the discounts, it will cost me a bomb otherwise!! lol. Ps..i bought the same grey bag as u from river island…Lol..i was shopping in cork today an despite telling myself i wasnt going to buy anything, i couldnt resist!! they had the black as well but the grey defin is the nicest…! i’m such a copycat.. :)
Kerrie, haha enjoy! It goes with everything!
would be lovely if makeup bloggers can get this discount without having the fancy credentials :) hmmm….maybe i should write them a letter!
Hi amy, quick question.. I’m doing an advanced make up course this summer, i hope to start freelancing later this yr or early nxt. i know it will take a while to build up my kit but as for the discounts, how will i get a letter from employer when i’l be freelancing?
Kerrie, the letter was only an example of something you could send in. Every brand has different requirements. Usually certificates, business card, call sheet etc will do. It can be difficult to apply for some when freelancing. There are a few brands that required a tonne of stuff, I had to send them confimation of tv and magazine work. It depends on the company so you’re best bet is to get in touch and see what they each require x
very informative thank you very much Amy!!!! so that means when i do my make up course and receive my cert i just send away a copy of that? (macpro for example) and a letter from employer? do i have to be in a make up related job?
Thank you again :)
Kate, The letter from you employer is used as proof that you’re working in makeup. They accept things like crew call lists, prof tear sheets etc
Hi Amy,
I am looking for some MAC discounts as well but unfortunately I’m not a Make-Up Artist. So I want to check out the MAC store in Dublin airport when I get there in a few weeks. Do you know if they have any good offers compared to the normal prices? Thank you!
PS: Love your website and your videos!
Ulrike, their products are a little cheaper in the airport than in BT I always treat myself to a lipstick when I’m travelling :)
Enjoy, Amy
Thank you so much for this! Very helpful.
