Well... you know, the skin tends to absorb about half of what you put on it, anyway!

Well my manager for sure will NOT give me a good reference. At my store, once you move up into the SLT (sales leadership team) you are pretty much treated with more respect. I get treated with so little respect sometimes! I have been looking for other stuff, but I am unhireable and she will only say the bad things. The only thing keeping me there is loyalty and the discount. My mom wants me to maybe go work at Bartell's (crappy Seattle drugstore) but there's no way in HELL I will go there-between their dress code (I cannot wear white cotton dress shirts because I sweat profusely, and I can't wear long-sleeved shirts, also no long pants except if it's under 50 degrees), my nose stud, and the whole atmosphere, it would not be good for me.
I have a lot of people backing me up-when I did the move for a different store, people were like "Why are you not a sales leader?". That's the other reassuring thing, knowing that my manager knows nothing. At least with our old manager, she was going to put me on a development plan to eventually move up.

I do deserve a MAC haul, at least I think so...but we got the FitFlops I had been wanting (chocolate brown, size 8) as a return to our store and I freaked out bigtime when I saw them. Also Fresh Lemonade scentports. I have 8 packs on hold. Insane, maybe. But I love that one.

^^KikiB I am sorry for all of the crap you are going through with your manager. No offense to your company but seriously everytime I am in a B&BW the SAs are seriously busting their butts while the "management" seems to just hang out behind the counter.

I also wanted to say that Bartell's actually pays pretty well but I understand why you wouldn't want to work there. Have you ever though about working for lush or ULTA. Just a thought!

BTW did your manager really tell you that you were unpromotable? That is seriously terrible if she did and you should really tell your district manager or transfer stores.

Yes, it is very much that way, but at the same time management has a lot of behind-the-counter stuff to do. If we need to get a merch credit, if we need change in a register, if we need a post-void, or if there is a larger return, they have to be there. Also if you get called in when not scheduled or if you start earlier or later than what is scheduled originally, you have to have a manager override you. Plus they have to keep track of the segments. I hate it but they are like "Well we have all of this stuff to do" but you also need to be on the sales floor. Part of the job is motion and observe-keep figure-8'ing the sales floor and register area and back room, and observe associates. I bust my ass every day I am there though. And yes, she said I was unpromotable, that I was not sales leader material..."just because somebody is a good SA doesn't mean they will make a good sales leader" but she isn't giving me the chance. I can't transfer anywhere. The store at Alderwood just hired a ton of temp people, and Aurora Village has not only a girl who I went to school with and absolutely loathe (her voice makes my ears bleed) but also the manager and I do not get along. She was a CM at my store and well, she was NOT liked.

Yeah I know that Bartell's pays very well, I know people who work there but the atmosphere there sucks. I only ever go in there to buy bus passes...I prefer B&BW even with all the crap I put up with because I can have fun with my makeup, I can dress cute, and I can truly interact with my clients. I have considered ULTA but I just have some problems with them in general, so I don't shop there often anymore. The nearest Lush is at Westlake, and while it would work for me because I can take the 41 and then the 348 home, it also would be bad because my bus home runs once an hour after 7 PM, and last bus is at 11:05 from Northgate-and it's the only one close. At the same time though...I love working at Northgate in a strange way. Everybody knows me, I am one of the two people in the store that our return clients recognize, and it's close enough to home.

And I know this is a silly reason but I waited 6 years to get my nose pierced (I wanted it when I was in 8th grade, and got it done in January) and I paid damn good money for it and I'm not taking it out. I wanted it for long enough, I got it...and love it. Plus half the time people can't even tell that I have it because it's yellow gold and I have yellow/olive skin tone so it blends.

Bimbos, now that I have organized my lipglasses so well, I could buy some new ones from the perm line, couldn't I?

Which do do recommend? Tinted lipglass, Lustreglass or Plushglass? I love pink and coral shades, but also milky ones.
Just let me know! I have a lot already, but most from LE collections.
