Some things you just have to see, touch, and try in person, especially when it comes to makeup…read more That's exactly what I did in this visit vs immediately buying online. Located inside the new Belk @ Bridge Street Town Center is one of my favorite go to counters for beauty tools and makeup. The selection here is wide and well-stocked. You'll find all your facial beauty needs here from eyeliners, eyeshadows, foundations (powders, liquids), concealers, lipsticks galore, lip liners, eye brow pencils, brushes, makeup sets, pro palettes, brush cleaner, makeup remover, etc. of the best quality, some w SPF, and most of which have no Parabens. MAC brushes are by far the best among other brands. I have many brushes, and MAC is the top of the heap! They last and don't shed... ever! MAC recently came out w a new line of moisturizers and such, but I stick w Lancôme for all my anti-aging, anti-wrinkle and moisturizers. ;) Boy, did I give away my age? Let's just say, preventive maintenance pays off when you start young (unless you've got the Pacific-Islander genes). Lol. ;P Anywho, the new must-have Holiday collection sets are here also and are already going fast! All throughout the years, the Holiday Collections have always been great values and the best gifts not just for me, but for those on my Christmas list. I'll take 3 of those (maybe 6), please! ;P Beautiful Lady Loreal was super helpful in assisting me with new gear to add to my ever growing collection. This time I picked up some lipstick, a few lipliners, fluid gel, and studio finish cream concealer, etc. that's perfect for my skin tone. It's amazing what some of the products are made for only to find out it can be used in other ways (ie cream concealer for highlights and lining beneath the brow, not just for dark circles underneath eyes). Love multi-use products! Lol. Don't hesitate to ask for tips here either. The MAC associates here are more than happy to train you on how to accomplish the look you're aiming for. They'll even suggest new bold ones. I'll admit, I learned a few on this visit. Who wants to have a play makeup date?! Lol. ;P One other thing to note which IMO sets MAC apart aside from the top quality of their products is that when I'm being assisted by an associate, they always clean/disinfect(!) the products before use. Never have I tried on any product off any cosmetic counter until I started using MAC years ago. Who has time to guess if a color works from trying products on your backhand only to find out at home it was the wrong shade on your face or lips? Also, MAC stands behind their products. So if it doesn't work for you, bring your product back for an exchange in color preference. And no, they never repackage returned products, nor do they get tossed in the trash. They get sent back to corporate. Sure, you could browse online and buy online, but it doesn't compare to the hands on experience as when coming here and 'playing' or trying the products on. Stop by and stock up! It's never too early to Christmas shop either!! Ask any female (wife, sistas, mama, nieces, peers), they'll agree. ;D

I'm giving this place a 1 for the mere fact that I came in to try a product asked for a sample and…read morewhat I got was literally a "swatch test" The manager apparently was the one who poured it for me there is barely any product in there. His team of associates were friendly, but my goodness I guess I would have done better to just purchase a full size product and return if the color that I selected for myself didn't match or simply didn't care for the product for other reasons. Why offer a service if you aren't actually going to properly put ample amount of product to sample in the container?

After missing their 3:00 PM closing time the previous Saturday, I called to ensure they were keeping normal hours in this abnormal pandemic time, this past Saturday. Yes they were and I asked to ensured she had everything on my "must have" list and she did! Very sweet helpful lady. When I arrived, she had everything ready plus a GWP - I *never* seem to score the Gift With Purchase at MN, and this was an added bonus! It consisted of a peel off masque, a gold foundation primer, a clear brow gel and a cute blush. Score! Cute, well stocked store, with a few marked down items and a nice variety of both MN and other beauty products and women's accessories. As we chatted the sweet lady working there told me that MN has been around since 1935. That's a minute or two! Thank you MN, Athens - I hope to enjoy many years of MN goodness with you!
