Yesterday I went & got a sample of Estee Lauder's double wear foundation. The lighting was horrible in the store so although the color matched me inside the store, when I went to put it on today in natural light, it was wayyyy to dark. So today I go back to get a shade lighter and while the woman was pouring it, I turned around and was looking at the clinique foundation. I seen one that was supposed to be long lasting and oil controlling so when the woman walked over I was asking her all about it. She was telling me it was their best seller yada yada yada. So i said "well i'm looking for some new foundation and I'm really interested in this, do you think you could give me a sample of it to try in natural lighting" She goes "uhh no. But i can apply some to you in the store and if you like it you can buy the full size." I explained to her that their store lighting wasnt that great because yesterday when I got matched it was too dark once I got in natural lighting. She then tells me that Clinique does not allow samples, but they do have a sample event twice a year.
Seriously, that blew my mind. They would rather people buy full size bottles just so they can return it because the color probably isn't going to match once they get outside?
The whole situation has put me off of Clinique COMPLETELY.
