Damn girls..... @Dolly Snow  in Vanessa and elegant's new Avi!! WooHoooooo! Yummies! I wore my first of 4 NARS lippies last night... went w the one I was most worried about first... Leslie! She's just beautiful! I loved it! If you have MAC Auburn Lip Pencil, it's the perfect match for Leslie. I didn't get a pic cause I was in horrible bar lighting celebrating my little sister's birthday. But I'll try to get one next time. Can't wait to try the other 3!!
Glad you love it!!! Leslie & Bette are my next 2.

I wonder do all Sephoras have security cameras and a "Loss Prevention" (LP) department? When I worked at Bloomies, we would get calls from Loss Prevention alerting us if someone who had pocketed something was about to come to our register to pay (for something less than what they pocketed) or was going to use a suspected stolen credit card or something. We never knew the details but they'd instruct us over the phone what to do while the "suspect" was in front of us. We had to pretend it was a customer calling or something (I shoulda won an Emmy ;-)). The most we ever had to do was tell them the payment was declined or hold the credit card toward the security camera first before swiping so security could document the card number, etc. But we were NEVER told to follow anybody. Ever. That wasn't our job. We were sales associates, not security specialists. And if we did notice something suspicious, we were to call LP - not follow them around. If it's not that way at Sephora, it should be.

Having said that, I have no doubt some SAs will decide to take on the responsibility of theft prevention themselves and IMO this is where the problems begin. Honestly I get followed sometimes too. I'm white but I like to keep to myself and I'm very internal and give a lot of time and thought to my purchases and I go back and forth all the time etc. so I guess that makes some people suspicious. (That, and I was probably wearing a hoodie LOL). If an SA alerted LP, they'd clearly see I'm just obsessive compulsive. On the other hand if an SA decided to play vigilante and follow me around or harass me with stupid questions, I'd NEVER go back and I'd blast them with complaints. Anyway, maybe it's about time Sephora comes up with a consistent policy at all their branches to prevent exactly the situations like @shontay07108 describes.

I'm sitting here laughing my ass off at the face you are making while wearing Angel(a). The struggle is real! I thought I was the only one to notice that. You need her name definitely.  Hypnotic Poison was my HG for a while. If I was going out I was wearing it!!! I've worked retail in NY, NYC to be exact. And it really comes down to the store.

I live in NYC Brooklyn to be specific but this incident happened to me in Long Island

I'm late to the party but Dolly that Vanessa and Vivian were made for you. If Barney's would ever restock I couldn't get Vivian fast enough.

Dilligaf you just sealed the back and forth of if I want Bette. It's stunning on you.

I got my Leslie! She's an interesting color. Don't take that to mean she isn't gorgeous because she is. I can't really think of how to describe it. It's in the same color family as Viva Glam I (which is my favorite but I have to wear it with gloss because my hatred of mattes) so it's a brick red, but that still doesn't quite describe it. I couldn't find a dupe for it in my stash though VGI was the closest. I love it on. Didn't need a liner or anything.

I've been thinking of what my first brighter shade should be. I'm looking at Anabella now. Hmmmm. But I will probably wait for the sephora sale I think
