You know you had a great experience in a store when you leave with a grin on your face and a pep in your step. That was the case when I left the Bloor Sephora a couple weeks ago.
I had gone in to test some lipstick ideas and found some great colours under MakeUp Forever. However, one of the colours I wanted was out of stock. Salesperson to the rescue! It's like they knew that I needed them at that exact moment...that and the store never gets too packed when I go so they're always happy to help. They offered to call Eaton Centre and when they didn't pick up (which I figured would happen), apologized profusely and offered to help me find a similar shade with a different brand. I didn't find exactly what I was looking for, but in true female form, I found other stuff I wanted :)
Head to the cash and there's a line up; not too bad but at least a 5 min wait. One of the salespeople apologized regularly to all of us for the wait and then handed out a full sample of mascara for "our trouble". If only I could have that kind of trouble in other stores!
When I got to the cash, the salesperson was helpful in giving me a great moisturizer that could double as a primer...AND he also gave me tons of samples for a new powder foundation. Granted, they were all the darkest shade and he mentioned that not many people come in that can wear it but I don't look a gift makeup salesperson in the mouth!!
All in all, I walked out with some great samples, some products that I will definitely buy next time I'm there and a grin that this may be the only Sephora store I shop at in the city.
