i'd love to work in the cosmetics industry one day - Mac is my brand of choice. the thing that puts me off benefit is the fact they rely on grabbing customers as they walk past - it's all very hard sell with them. and i have worked in sales for many years and i still can't hard sell - it's just not me.
yeah i'm not a fan of sales people like that. me and my guys always approach people, say hello and just let them know we are here if they have questions. if they stand around for more than a few minutes we then ask if they need help again but with different wording. but most of the time people actually turn to us and just ask because they know we are here for themThe Benefit staff in our House of Fraser are a bit pushy with the sales, too. You can't just look at anything without them coming up to talk to you about it.

I hate when that happens, and when they stare or stand their - it makes it impossible to shop!Seriously, you can't even glance in their direction before your man-handled into the chair and makeup is applied. I hate the expectation that after such treatment you are almost expected to buy said items applied. Err, No. I just found out the other day my local boots have set up a counter just as you come into the store. Yeah...I'm staying away from Boots.

Or you have the snooty Higher End counters when you could be standing on fire and they wouldn't glance your way. I get very intimidated in DebenhamsI hate when that happens, and when they stare or stand their - it makes it impossible to shop!![]()
Is anyone planning on buying any of the cream shadows from Flighty? Temptalia gave them a really bad review, they look awful alone. I don't think I'll buy any of them, I have a few longlasting cream shadows already and Mac Paintpots, so I'd much rather stick to them. Got Greed UDPP in Florida, it's really pretty!OMG your voyage powders are making me drool! so pretty - both powder and compact! do you actually use them or just have them for collection? because i think i'd be scared to use them! hee hee!
oh well if you have back ups then that is ok! one to look at and one to use right?! hee hee!Is anyone planning on buying any of the cream shadows from Flighty?

Oh and Lou, I'll post some pictures later, but I still need to unpack half our stuff and put the washing out on the line. At least I'm not jetlagged now, even managed to wake up before 9 am! My husband nearly missed the royal wedding, he slept until nearly 11!
Wow, what a haul!
Those Physicians Formula things are really pretty, and I love the necklace top left in your blog picture too
