    Nordstrom employees - how long till you heard back?

    Yes, the saga of my new career in cosmetics continues Just curious, if you apply at Nordstrom, what is the average time to hear back once you do your online HR application? I haven't gotten a "Sorry, we don't have any positions at this time." letter in the mail, so, could they still be...

    Favourite brushes sold at Sephora?

    I have a $50 gift certificate to there and I'd love to get some great brushes. Any type will do as long as they're useful and fabulous. TIA for any suggestions!

    Is this "normal"

    Hi all, Just a quick question for something that's been slightly irking me. I was recently hired as a part-time assistant manager for a popular company that sells makeup and skincare. I make $8.50 an hour and work 25 hours a week. Is this typical for a PT AM position? It just seems weird...

    What is the general pay scale for MAC?

    Question Re: employment @ The Body Shop

    Would working there count towards a Pro card for MAC? There is one up the block and figured I'd apply for a seasonal position to make some extra money/get discounts and segue into working with cosmetics in a retail setting (to use towards MAC employement, perchance.) TIA!

    Pro Pigment versus MUFE Star Powder

    Hope this is the right place... I saw THE most gorgeous new Star Powder shades at Sephora over the weekend. Neon orange and Neon Pink, both were extremely bright, pigmented and with "sparkle." Not shimmer and not glitter, somewhere in between. Question is, I've long been lusting after a...
