You know I have been so busy this year that I completely missed the blog’s 4th birthday, which was on October 3rd. I can’t believe it’s been four years since I started blogging. Things have changed a lot for beauty blogging, but I still like to keep it simple. I also still have lots to [...]
You know how much I love Nars – yet, I am falling out of love with the lip colours a little; so drying, and the cream eyeshadows are unwearable without powder on top. In 2008, Nars are releasing a gorgeous looking collection, focusing on the nudes; Success lipstick (£16) is I think, a semi-glossy textured [...]
These Ettusais cream eyeshadows have been around forever, but at the moment they are on offer at ADAMBEAUTY.COM under specials so I bought 3 that were still in stock: God I love cream eyeshadows. It wasn’t always like this of course; in the old days when I first got cream eyeshadow from the likes of [...]
Lip Fusion is one of those products that completely went over my head as soon as I read it was a lip plumper. I have naturally full lips anyway and have once tried DuWop’s Lip Venom, which felt like boric acid. Nevertheless, I heard that Lip Fusion is very moisturising – what the hell, I [...]

She was brilliant for 9! Yeah i’ve had loads of horrible experiences too – they never listen to a word you say, they just give their opinion!

Yeah or you get ones that just don’t care

Mean SA…brrrrrrrr…I’m planning to buy some lipsticks but I’m scared: I don’t have a checkbook. xD

Fabulous! and your accents remind me of home!!
I had a YSL assistant in Selfridges in Manchester refuse to sell me the shade of foundation I asked for as ‘there’s no way you’re Opal…I’m not an Opal and you’re much darker than me’
I’m ghostly pale and she was bright orange, but that’s beside the point. How rude!
I’m off to watch your other videos.

OMG – I had a YSL shop assistant try to tan me up too! It happens on SO many counters! Always too pale or too light

LOL!

i can’t stop laughing! that was one hilarious video!!

Phew at least someone is!

lol. You make a great comedy duo. Very funny. My boyfriend was sort of watching it out of the corner of his eye and kept laughing at the appropriate moments, even though I know he doesn’t really understand the whole makeup counter nightmare.
And yes, those things happen to me every time, which is why I try to buy all of my cosmetics online, and rely heavily on reviews and swatch photos. I can’t afford to be talked into buying things I don’t need, and I can’t handle being shamed for not being able to afford it.

Thankyou! So it’s funny to boys too!

Brilliant, Megan is hilarious, great kid : D I played this for my Flatmate who just had a shop assistant tell her how hideous everything she liked is and how this one skirt was the answer. In just the style she hates. But she still bought it.
I’ve been an SA too, there’s always a point where you should back off, the customer makes up their own mind. Otherwise it’s all even more stressful for everyone.
Well done!

Oh I am so glad you like it!!!!!
I know I have been pressured into buying stuff too. The point is, is that ANYONE can get pressured into buying something!

Hahaha I laughed the whole way through (and trust me, I never watch videos the whole way through). You’re both hilarious in the sketches! And you look gorgeous in each of your different looks.
I hate the clueless sales assistant the most. That “SPF” scene is totally believable.
But I’ve also starting coming across more and more the stereotyping sales assistants who almost refuse to sell me the beige foundation shade I’ve just tried out (in front of them!), because they assume I must be darker and yellower because I am of Asian ethnicity.
Reply
Ahh thankyou so much!
I have such trouble getting foundation – I tend to trust my own judgement and they don’t like that!

I was reading ur post on the cnd gel polish..I am a nail tech in the states and I must tell you the the service took WAY too long! Here is the correct way to apply the shellac (from start to finish it should take no longer than one hour) the nails shaped, cuticles pushed back gently and cut clean carefully, then lightly buffed with a fine buffer. Then nails are clean and sanitized with CND scrub fresh (a blue liquid) then the system is applied..up untill this point u should be in 30 mins or less…now the gel polish…base coat 10 sec in the light, first coat of colour 2 mins. In the light, second coat of colour 2 mins. In the light, then one layer of the top coat cure for 2 mins and then wipe the nail with alcohol apply lotion to the hand and your done! To soak off you did good with the wraps and acetone, what ever you have left on the nail get an orangewood stick and softly push off any colour left on and if needed softly buff off any residue apply oil and ur done…a lot of my clients do soak off the gel themselves before they come in…NEVER pull off the polish it will take off layers of your nail with it..
Just remember anytime you have your nails done of any kind, don’t let anyone use a hard file or a drill, that will kill your nails before you ever get the product you went in for to start with..I hope this helps and you don’t give up on the CND shallac…
