MAC Class @ King of Prussia Mall, PA
“Alexa’s Favorite Things”
This was my first experience at a MAC class. I’ve been to instructional classes a few years ago that were hosted by Sephora at Cherry Hill Mall (NJ) but MAC of course outdid them with the interaction and not just trying to sell products. The class entitled: Alexa’s Favorite Things may not mean much to people who do not know who Alexa Hand is personally, by reputation, or even her name but those who do should have signed up for this class. My first encounter with Alexa was back in February of this year (mentioned on my Feb. 10th 2014 post). And it was by far THE best experience purchasing cosmetics that surpassed my expectations of a MAC makeup artist/consultant’s knowledge. Mind you I have been to many MAC stores/counters in CA, NJ, PA, and NYC.
A little background for those of you who don’t follow Alexa
on IG, or other social media. She has a unique sense of style and edge which
seem to fit with what MAC inspires through cosmetics. She was on the TV reality
based show Jerseylicious (March 21-2010 – May 26, 2013) which aired on the Style
Network (which has now since been acquired by Esquire TV) and she was known as “A2”
as she assisted Alexa Prisco at the Glam Factory which had a spin-off show Glam
Fairy (which originally aired from Oct 23, 2011 – Dec 16, 2012) where she could
be seen as well. Of course not to be redundant but Alexa is a fantastic MUA!
There were so many products used I would love to list
everything even in a short list but it would make this post three times longer
LOL.
I highly recommend attending any classes that are held at
MAC closest to you. The “fee” of $50 (which was used to not only reserve a spot
but put onto a giftcard so you could later make a purchase) is quite reasonable
considering the amount of product demonstration and interactive nature of the
class. Plus most people going into MAC are usually there to make a purchase
anyway!
