I like a betty too. Enchanted shock looks interesting, but might be too warm for a cool/pink & fair person like myself. I am liking the Pink Shock you just put up, but I think it would be more of a glow pink blush on me. I have old Snowglobe beauty powder from MAC that gives the barest highlight for the pink/cool/fair, but then I just bought Physicians Formula Mineral Glow Pearls Powder Palette in translucent pearl & it's similar in tone/color, but it does give more of a solid sheen than the MAC one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003642103556651266.post-13252877088999875422014-10-26T15:33:03.350+01:002014-10-26T15:33:03.350+01:00Oh gosh Sara, so sorry for that bad experience!

I ran there after work and... they didn't have anything. The SA didn't have a clue what I was asking for (SAs being less knowledgeable than beauty enthusiasts about the brand they're selling is a major issue I have all the time!), but told me to go to Macy's (interesting that she sent me to another store).<br />I got to Macy's and they had no testers out, but the palettes were on display behind a glass panel. No SA at the counter. I waited for 10 minutes, approached someone at another counter who said someone was coming. I waited 10 more minutes... and nobody came. I left. And I just bought a palette online without being able to swatch it before making a decision. If it's not stellar, I'll just return it without any remorse!<br />This kind of dismal service is not rare and it's the main reason I do 90% of my shopping online. If someone is rude to me I complain to their management and boycott the store plain and simple unless they find a resolution for me. That's why I stopped shopping at Sephora completely!Lullehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12142001310839703331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003642103556651266.post-54436321316477975492014-10-22T03:39:54.171+02:002014-10-22T03:39:54.171+02:00Thanks for this helpful review.Thanks for this helpful review.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02782864813730736849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003642103556651266.post-23760314155237580882014-10-22T01:05:16.716+02:002014-10-22T01:05:16.716+02:00Hi Christina,

This year I am having trouble to find products which I might like to try. I got most of Chanel but this was because I haven't tried them out in person. I like the highlighter from that collection. From Dior nothing is really calling my name but ended up with the nail polishes just because I collect them. I will check out Guerlain soon, hoping that the dark duo or the palette should be nice. Armani's palette looks like something I might invest in ;-)sawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11709563883992725006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003642103556651266.post-83836011521357179302014-10-22T01:02:00.335+02:002014-10-22T01:02:00.335+02:00It is very nice to read from a fellow Stuttgarter ...It is very nice to read from a fellow Stuttgarter ;-)<br />I had to laugh loud while reading this, since I became friends with a few SAs during all those years I spent at the counter. Although some know how to apply makeup, some of them have no clue. They are mostly the ones which are contracting and not hired by the brand. I also know (and mentioned above in another comment) that Dior pays the least compared to the other brands so contracting ones don't want to go to Dior. This is how Dior ends up with the worst SAs which are not working there anyway and have no shame and no skill. I think this is why you were "painted" in a bad way. I had to chuckle reading your husband's reaction, lol.<br /><br />It seems Selfridges is really good in person but online they are another story. I have had huge problems with their online customer service in the last months so now I am trying not to order something unless it is very necessary.sawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11709563883992725006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003642103556651266.post-51515705211096225122014-10-22T00:57:04.985+02:002014-10-22T00:57:04.985+02:00From what I had read about your experience, Neiman...From what I had read about your experience, Neiman's sounds like a store which really do care about their customers. You are right, if I don't say something, this SA will go on doing her thing and it is no good. I wanted to first speak to the customer service to understand what their rules are for photography. Then I am a little shy to ask it, because at the moment I can almost photograph everything, everywhere but what if they say it is really forbidden :-/sawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11709563883992725006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003642103556651266.post-18068617364983865202014-10-22T00:54:08.503+02:002014-10-22T00:54:08.503+02:00I am so sorry you were wrongly matched and the fou...I am so sorry you were wrongly matched and the foundation didn't work for you.

I was like "I think I know I am around 20, 25" and he was like " no no you are not lighter than 40" lol, I ran out of there. If I had no clue, would end up looking the worst of oompa-loompa!

She was so helpful and I believe so many people ordered products by checking her swatches out. I know I did, many times.
