I missed out on these too!  Too slow.  AND The lippie they released.    I kind of forgotten about them until you guys brought them up. LOL  Sorry, thought I quoted Yarah too. 
lol!!! My bad! I've been both crying and swooning over last year's holiday collection for months!

I hope to try it properly soon - overload :sigh: I just looked up Greta- very pretty classic red! I agree, one shade is not enough in this stunning packaging. She'll be institutionalized:weep: I feel that way too. When I went to check out Vampify I was swatching the testers and mentioned the 3 online exclusives and the SA seemed to think I was suggesting that the entire collection was an online exclusive and I ended up googling the shade I was interested in and showed her. She had no clue about those 3 shades. I just should not have bothered even asking:sigh: How does a SA not even know this info when the collection is already out?!:shrugs: Unless the SA is amazing, helpful and friendly, I just don't want to bother anymore - lack of knowledge, passion, unfriendliness - I am sick of it. I recently did a click and collect order, and it was a nice change! Can this work for us? I looked into it once and gave up lol.
Lol why did you give up? It's pretty easy! There's a browser button, too, but I have a link as a shortcut on my browser. I have the rebates go to my Paypal account and let it automatically transfer to a dedicated bank account.
My last adventures at the department store: - The Guerlain SA looked at me as if I had 2 heads when I asked about the Rainbow Pearls - The Lancôme SA had NEVER heard of Lisa Eldridge. Really??? - The Chanel SA made fun of me when I asked about the blue collection That's just sad.
:shock:

why does that surprise you? As popular as she is on youtube, I rarely visit her page. So it doesn't surprise me that other people don't know her. I doubt most sales associates or other mua pay atten to vloggers. Unless they are a correspondent for that brand.

Yeah Lisa Eldridge is the Creative Director of Lancôme so that one seems kind of bad.

Yes but at Shoppers I do not think they are working for a commission and like at sephora they are working in a ''section''.

I have to be the only person who likes the Meteorites brushes. I have several and always use them for face powders / finishing powders.

I haven't had any issues with my meteorites brush. It isn't the softest one I have, but I feel if the brush is too soft it doesn't "get" the powder from the pearls. Guerlain had a whole set that was a bonus for a purchase at Neiman Marcus. The brushes in that set where really nice.

Well, since Lisa happens to be the Creative Director of the brand, that does kind of surprise me that she has never heard of her. I don't expect the SAs to know all Beauty Bloggers, but somehow the name of the creative director of their own brand shouldn't sound all that foreign.

It's like the companies run the counter like it's the 1900's and information comes from head office by horse and cart.

It seems odd to have a social media/internet presence and not tie it in with the actual counter at all to the point where SA's have no clue about big news like Lisa Eldridge.

I don't think this is really acceptable in the modern/internet dominated world to run the counters as though the internet doesn't exist - it appears like the companies put no effort in at all to educate their staff.

Thank goodness for Specktra!!

Thank you! I then went and looked at Mr Rebates and was kicking myself as they had a 5% Nordies cash back and I had already made my purchase. It will be nice to get some $$ back, it all adds up!
