Interesting interesting... I've never even touched Brunette brow pencil.
Oh, Spiked is definitely a more common color to use. But that doesn't mean Stud isn't best for anyone, right? Also, though I agree it doesn't make sense to push products that have a high risk of return, I do personally know a few MAs at MAC who will push the sale anyway so they make their goal. I guess they count on the person being too lazy to come back and return it? Or they're only concerned about how they do that day and will worry about the return if/when it happens? IDK, but I never saw the sense in that myself!
That is crazy. I know DDB (we talking about the gel?) is sold out at many locations, so maybe they were sold out and the MA was trying to steer her toward a color they had in stock? That tends to be my theory when a MA "refuses" to sell a product, lol
