You know what’s funny? I just realized this is a great trick to play on the sales people that pressure me all the time. I’ll indulge them for 5 or 10 minutes by letting them show me everything, then I’ll say, “I’d like to think about it. Would you please write down the names of each product, the specific color and a small description so I remember which is which? Thanks so much!” LOL I started laughing just thinking about it.

Wow, that is a good suggestion. Few weeks ago, i shopped at a Clinique store. After I bought 60 worth of purchase, I asked them for a sample. The lady said matter of factly that they don’t have them and CLinique only send samples with new products out… umm, right.. Then what’s that jar I saw as some other SAs slip to somebody? However, one time at another Clinique counter, I didn’t buy anything and the SA gave me few samples to try (yeah, it came straight from the bottle pump, but better than nothing)
I think samples are for cutomers to try and esp for customers who purchased. Seeing many women leave the counter not asking for samples reminds me that a lot SAs actually resell those samples back online for profit just saddens me.. BS I say! LOL

Never, even after I have a makeup done on me. I try to know prior what I need (last time it was a foundation), then I ponder after a few days if I want additional items or not. Actually, if SA tries to get me to buy something, I get even more cautious lol.

No…Although the sales people are pretty convincing….I’m one of those people that if I think its worth it then I get it a vise versa and i always need to find a bargin so basically no way unless i want it

case in point… the hello kitty collection. I wasnt interested at all and didnt jump on the bandwagon … but every MAC counter/store I went to tried to lure me over to the display but I said I dislike the packaging and colours and its not for me. Just be straight with them and they tend to bug off.
