| - Despite my puny number of check-ins here, I frequent this Sephora a lot! There are a lot of reasons why I keep coming back.
First and foremost, I never feel like I'm being judged. As a social worker, I'm often on a budget. A very strict budget. So I usually hoard money and wait until all of my products run out, then go make a mass purchase. This means I often walk in without my "face". Even with acne, unadorned eyes, and blotchy skin, I'm still treated like I'm the most beautiful woman they've seen.
This being said, my second point I'll make is that they never beat around the bush. I love it when people are blunt and direct with me, and I usually get it here. I ask them a specific question, and they give me options and recommendations. This is greatly appreciated, as half the time I have no idea what to look for. I'm girly, but I definitely don't know all the "girl world secrets" every other girl in Scottsdale seems to know. I'm so out of touch with the barbies that inhabit this town.
Also, I have a lot of allergies (food, skin, medications, you name it). I'm allergic to fragrance, which really inhibits me in the makeup department. Did you know mascara has fragrance in it? I didn't. There's literally one mascara on the market that advertises being fragrance-free..and they sell it here! I had a problem with my eyelashes falling out. After describing my situation, one of the very knowledgeable workers informed me that all mascara has this pesky ingredient.
All-in-all, the staff are friendly, the store is clean, and they have options for my allergy-ridden body. Sephora for the win!
