I just posted this on LJ, so my apologies if you already saw it there:
I need a MAC hug. I had a little depotting party for myself and took the empties to MAC today with my friend. When I got there, the MA said, "you're not back to buy more, are you?" a bit incredulously. I kinda was - I was curious about shy angel, violet underground and botanical. And I was out of both brush cleanser and make up remover. But when she said that I felt uncomfortable so I didn't get anything. My friend asked her about makeovers because I had just had one yesterday (and bought 5/6 of the e/s with the new collection and some other things I had been eyeing) and she told her that it was $40. She didn't explain the $40 towards purchasing thing that is the policy with this counter, she just said $40. I wanted to leave but my friend was curious about some e/s so we stayed. Then the MA accused me of having a "lip party" with a bunch of the lip products that had been left out. I hadn't. Then the MA sold my friend trax and iris print. That's fine but neither color is going to show up on her skin (she has a really pretty, deep ebony complexion) without a shadestick or paint base. I told my friend to try both on her hand by themselves and with a base and it really helped! The MA was all put out about having to go pull out a shadestick for my friend. I even had to be the one to suggest which color to get.
I did buy a bunch of stuff yesterday but I never buy with credit - I always try and save up for the new collections. And even if I do have too much MAC, is it really a good idea to have the MA be the person to suggest that? Why did it feel like I was the one working for MAC and the MA was like a secret Lancome saboteur or something???
