http://www.yabycosmetics.com/

Camera Ready cosmetic offers free shipping to pro's with a purchase of $40 or more and an editorial program (with super reasonable prices to begin with)

And while I'm not 100% sure, I think Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics also has a pro discount.

Yes, they do.  It's 20% and you have to e-mail them directly at  [email protected].

Do editorial credit programs accept national and international magazines only?

different companies have different rules, if you are not sure, either check the company's website or call in to ask them what is accepted and what is not.

another note- I used to be a Mac Junkie, Still am, but also a Di kennedy Junkie now,I find this make up at par with MAC quality.

Hmmm.. MAC quality?

RaniMK, if you're lookin' for quality, there are several other brands that surpass MAC , especially in foundations.
MUFE, Cover FX, Yaby and Cinema Secrets come to mind.

lol Diane, in terms of foundation, I aint a fan of Mac, I should have been more specific, I was talking in terms of their eye shadows.
But thanx for the info, I shall definitely look int that.
Cheers
Rani

LOL!
Well in that case, I prefer Yaby.  I just bought all 4 premade palettes and believe me, with the amount of makeup cosmetic companies send me (including M.A.C.), I would never need to purchas my own makeup... that's how much I love her shadows.. expecially the pearl paints!

Thank you sir for the information and keeping me up to date!

Also, regarding Shu Uemera's MUA discount, I am trying to see if I really have to go to NY to sign up & use the discount (seems super restrictive to me).  I will be posting an updated list with everyone's additions shortly.  Thank you all again for the information!

Sorry to jump in, but you like Mac eyeshadows?
I think they have no pigment to them, the individual ones I mean, have to dip the brush in several times, have found other brands to be of much better quality for blending too.
But I guess people have different tastes which is fair enough.

Thanks to all for the info, much appreciated.
