Oddly I found myself at Scottsdale mall today in need of some new makeup. I went to Sephora and wasn't even greeted, and it took almost ten minutes of browsing before I was asked if I needed help. Needless to say I bought nothing.
So I walked towards MAC, leery from my last experience there, and what do you know? It was pretty much empty, and once I walked in I got a compliment on my hair, and then my eyebrows from a separate employee within the first two minutes. (Sales tactics probably but hey I'll take em'!) So I had a nice young guy help me find a few lipsticks to try, and he added a bit of eyeshadow to complete the look and I was nervous about trying a new Rihanna lipstick the swatch was a nude gray brown and he said it might work on me. Well I put it on to make him happy, and was shocked at how much I LOVED the color on me! So that gets a few stars for him putting me out of my comfort zone and helping me find something new I would have NEVER chose for myself.
We played around for at least half an hour and I ended up getting two shades of lipstick and a mascara. I feel better about this location, especially with the guy that was helping me feel so welcome. Maybe the trick is going on a slow Tuesday afternoon?
