My first trip inside Sephora

Well I have to say I am not terribly impressed. The Sephora I was in was
small, and didn't have some of my favorite brands (Tarte, Dior). I did
ask someone if they could do a makeover and she temporarily disappeared,
(to ask permission?) told me she could and returned with three Urban
Decay eyeshadows (she did only my eyes) in Honey, Adore, and Fishnet.
Translation: bright yellow gold, hot pink, and bright purple. I thought
ok, I'm going to look like Cirque de Soleil. Actually the end result was
quite pretty, the colors were well blended and subtle and really made my
green eyes pop. Not something I would ever consider wearing, though.

Maybe I was being unrealistic in going in there and getting a makeup
lesson. There was a little makeover island in the back and there was

scorpio00girl...

Honestly, I think your expectations really were unrealistic. I love
Sephora, but many times there isn't even a MA in the store. I think
most people use the available samples to try out products on their own
(hopefully on their hand) and don't expect the SAs to do anything but
ring up their purchases.

someone back there getting their makeup done. I don't know if they had
an appt. or what. Everyone there was fairly pleasant and not pushy about
buying anything. Except for one SA who came across as being very
obnoxious. She had a girl in the makeover chair and was being very loud
and screeching "your coloring is jeeeusssst PERfect, no REALLY it really
really IS. Talk about corny. The girl was like "um, ok thanks" and the
SA said "NO really your hair and your eyes and your skin are just
PERFECT!!" I asked this SA if the Cargo gloss SoHo was in and she said
"um I don't know, it might be in the back" but didn't look. I asked
another SA if it was in and she did bother to look and was very nice.

Anyways, I ended up buying Cargo The Reverse Lip Liner, Benetint Pocket
pal, and a pair of false lashes by Sugar.

I guess I am disappointed because I was hoping to go in there and LEARN
something from these people who claim to be 'beauty experts'.

There wasn't a MAC store there (I am almost positive) or I would have
ran straight there.
