I had such a great day yesterday. I got dressed enfemme and shaved especially close but went out without any make-up. I went to a very large mall in orlando called the florida mall. My first stop was sephora, the main reason for the trip. Since so many of you girls seemed to have good experiences there, I figured it was time for jamie to try it out. I looked around a little and a SA came over and asked if I needed any help. I was a little nervous and said no I'm just looking right now. As she walked away I kicked myself for not accepting her offer. I looked around for a few more minutes and finally went over to her and admitted that i really did some help. She smiled and asked what i needed. I told her that I was looking for some foundation as what I was using currently, didn't really work for me. She looked at my face and held up a few foundations for a match. We found a couple that looked promising and she applied them until we found one that looked good. I asked about helping to eliminate the redness in my face and she suggested a primer. She took off the foundation and applied the primer and then reapplied the foundation. it was perfect. She gave me samples of some different primers that I could try at home and asked if there was anything else she could help me with. I admitted that I could use some help with eyeshadow and liner as well. We picked out some shadows and finally found a set that would meet my needs, and moved on to liners. I told her that I have problems applying liner and she asked me to apply some on myself and she immediately spotted my problems and corrected my technique. We talked for a few more minutes and I thanked her profusely for her help and being so nice. She said she loved helping me and that it was her pleasure. She also informed me of their return policy and hoped that I would return. I replied that this may just be my new favorite store, and went to pay for my purchases. I joined their rewards program and the cashier was just as nice as my SA. From there I went to torrid and bought a few things and had a great experience there as well. My final stop was unexpected but was fun. As I was walking through the mall I got stopped at one of the little kiosks in the mall that sells flat irons. My hair is on the long side but very straight. A young man stopped me and commented on my hair and said it was very beautiful but he could make it better. He sat me down in his chair and started working on my hair with a flat iron curling my hair and giving me his sales pitch. He knew all the right things to say. lol But when he was done I had a head full of curls which I absolutely loved. Needless to say I bought one when the price finally was negotiated down to my affordability. Afterwards I went to a few more stores to try on some shoes and boots and to show off my new hair and make up. It was such a wonderful day I wish it could have lasted foreverr, but all good things must come to an end so I was homeward bound after leaving the mall to show my wife all my goodies. If anyone has any reservations about sephora please go and enjoy yourself. They are excellent there.
