The Chanel Ratonas Off-topic Thread

I went to sephora today but the smashbox set was not available. I'll keep a lookout for it.

I was at the dior counter at a department store, not sephora, and the SA had such a bad attitude. I wanted to look at It Pink, Paris and Diorkiss. The SA was sitting back facing the displays, surfing the net with the company's notebook. I could be fine by myself because I could look for the colours since they are labelled. But the SA came quickly, with a scowl, and asked if she could help. I should have said no, thanks, but I said I wanted to look at It Pink. She asked rudely and loudly and scowling, "what?" so I repeated and she gave an impatient loud sigh and stormed to the back where the little room was and out of sight. At this point I could tell she was clearly unhappy. I know it is a Monday, a quiet day, probably she just wanted to surf the net till her heart's full, but what a way to treat a customer! She came back and pulled out It Pink from the tester (which I already found while she was away) without saying a word and still scowling. I gave it a swatch and put it back, but I couldn't stand her attitude and just walked away. Liked it but no way am I buying anything from her. If anything, I just glad this didn't not happen at Chanel. The worse Chanel SA I've ever met is one who ignores customer and doesn't smile or make eye contact but just get me what I want. Ok, rant over!

If I were a manger/store owner I would fire workers like that^! It is their job. I simply have NO tolerance for rudeness & slackness. Too many people need jobs that would love to actually be able to work & do it right. I would call the store manager & simply explain what happened. She needs to learn that her behavior is unacceptable.

But what did you think of Lt Pink?

 

[Miss QQ]

I like it! I will get it at some point. I couldn't find Paris at the counter though.

I have been wearing Taupe-Delicat over the liquid eyeshadow, Source, which is a silvery pink. It gives a lilac taupey colour, very pretty. Wish I have Fauve!

Ooh, I have Source, so I will try that. Thanks

Ugggh -- I can't stand rude people like that! I just want to say "Oh, so sorry for having you do your JOB". Maybe she should find a new occupation!

 

[Bonitinha]

I got my Shines this morning!

I love them both -- Chance and Evasion. I tried them both quickly and they are both really pretty. Except now I need Romance and Adventure. I did get 2 samples with my order, but no sample blister pack. Darn, because I wanted to try the other colors!

Oh wow Michelle - woot! What does Chance look like on? That is such a shame that you didn't get the blister pack..hmmm

Happy belated birthday Michelle and Birgit

, wish you both a wonderful year filled with wonderful MUs

Last week was a busy week for me! Had some guests coming over so I couldn't do much fun browsing...

It's one thing to be buying something at the counter, but for pete's sake, FIND A MAN CHAIR.

I've just heard of this term, man chair...the first thing on my mind was this:


I have to admit I might be guilty of taking the hubs on my shopping trips

. Although he disappears to the gaming section if I took too long

.

Btw, I'm not usually into nail polishes, but my friend introduced me to this brand, Mavala. I got a turquoise colored one called Blue Curacao:

I love how it looks on me, it's a little more edgy IMO.

 

[elegant-one]

^Cutie - that man chair - Hilarious

I love it.

Ooh, that shade of blue looks really nice & yes edgy on you.

[/quote] That is horrible that this person ruined your day. You should complain about her, but I do not like to complain either. [quote name="cutemiauw" url="/forum/thread/174086/the-chanel-ratonas-off-topic-thread/690#post_2105707"]Happy belated birthday Michelle and Birgit

[/quote] :lol: that man chair so made my day.... Love the colour on you. Mavala makes great colours, but for some reason their polishes do not wear well on me. Record was 50% loss after 4h. I love that they make small bottles. Btw, did any of you try the Tarte Amazonian Clay blushes?

 

[elegant-one]

On the Tarte - I've watched them on QVC. A lot of people do like them

 

[Bonitinha]

Oh wow Michelle - woot! What does Chance look like on? That is such a shame that you didn't get the blister pack..hmmm

On me it is a cool, shimmery pink. I think they describe it as powder pink and that seems right. It will be super cute for summer.
I love Evasion, too -- on me it is a nude peachy pink (more peachy than pink). But I really think I need just a couple more!
Have you gotten Romance yet? (the lipstick, not the lovin')

that man chair is hands down the funniest thing i have seen all day!!! OMG!! do you think one size fits all?

 

[Bonitinha]

Thanks Cutie! Oh my, that man chair makes me giggle! LOL

Oh, thanks dear that helps a lot. No, my order has been in transit so who knows. Nordies has a new ship system which totally sucks. They can't even give you a tracking # for like 3-5 days!

They hate & and they told me that customers are really ticked off by it - so yeah, great I guess that was a good move on their part...geesh

Evasion sounds so lovely. I bet they are really pretty on you too.

 

[elegant-one]

Doubt it - kinda looks like it just well, falls off the front end

 

[Bonitinha]

I hope you get it soon! It ticks me off when it gets lost in transit! I must admit, I got Evasion because it looked so gorgeous on Tanya (pixie2woo). Well, I don't look like her (dang it), but it is lovely on!

 

[User38]

cutie.. that man chair is a size small,no? the turquoise polish looks great on you.. I love it! I just got the EL Blue nail polish and haven't put it on yet.. I will put it on my toes when I go to Argentina cause it's cool there now, and with boots, it's a nice colour to take boots off and see !

Elegant.. argh... I hate problems. I really really do... hope you get your stuff soon.

katred, I have always been grumpy.. and now I am older and far grumpier.. things can really irritate me so I try to stay within a comfort circle.

 

[User38]

Elegant, did you see Liberte? I am kinda liking this colour.. just don't want to buy another expensive balm with the double C log... let me know pls

 

[LMD84]

Doubt it - kinda looks like it just well, falls off the front end

lets hope so or there will be many dissapointed ladies in the world... looks a bit small to me!

You girls are killing me :haha:
