Re: Swatch to get a free eyeshadow!

Hi all!

 

I went in today and swatched some of the new shadows!

 

photo.JPG(Okay sorry, not sure why my photo is showing up sideways.)

 

I really liked the consistency... and so many colors... it was difficult to choose!

 

I swatched:
Blueberry Muffin

Desert Dune

Flirting Game

 

I think Blueberry Muffin would make a really pretty push liner (as you can see I am extremely pale so I don't look great with tons of dark shadows all over my eyelid, but I do love push liner).

 

Desert Dune seems like the PERFECT highlight eyeshadow. So sparkly!

 

Flirting Game was a really pretty brown. 🙂

Re: Swatch to get a free eyeshadow!

So many gorgeous colors! But I'm absolutely in love with the golds and browns this seasons. The ones I tried in the attached picture are: #88 Morning Mocha, #81 Sunday Brunch, and #71 Blonde Ambition (which looks darker in my photo than it did in real life--I think it's the angle affecting the shimmer). #sephoracolorful.Swatches.jpg

Rock the Runway, Sweet Candy, Romantic Comedy #Sephoracolorful  Love these colors!  The underlying color in Rock the Runway is way cool!

Re: Swatch to get a free eyeshadow!

By the way, I was also curious, after this awesome freebie ends, how soon will the shadow be sent out to those who have swatched and posted photos?

 

I'm sure others are wondering about this as well!

Re: Swatch to get a free eyeshadow!

Doh!! I went to Sephora yesterday so that my mom could buy herself some new stuff and I forgot to do this! *bangs head against wall*

 

I still gots time. *smiles*

Re: Swatch to get a free eyeshadow!

Doooo ittttt :P, hehe! I had to pick up a serum for my mom and mascara for my cousin so it was a perfect chance for me this weekend to swatch away!

Re: Swatch to get a free eyeshadow!

I'll try to go today because there's only a couple of days left. I've been reading reviews on temptalia about these shadows though! Some are great, some arent, I think it depends on the finish. I want a shimmery light bronze color to replace the one in my TheBalm palette when I run out. I love it, and dont have any lighter bronze colors.

 

Look at me. Trying to talk myself into buying shadow. Again.

Re: Swatch to get a free eyeshadow!

Don't worry, I've already put Indian Summer (orange ish one) on my list. I want a good shimmer/matte green or purple to pair with the brights I have, but it's hard to see how it blend with others without bringing the UD palette with me and use it on my eyes right there. Maybe I will do that next time and ignore possible odd looks.

Re: Swatch to get a free eyeshadow!

I really wouldnt recommend bringing your own stuff to Sephora, thats sold at Sephora...only because I saw another shopper get falsly accused by the sales woman....she was doing makeup on one of her friends/family members/whatever, and on the makeup station--the one where you sit at the big mirror, she had testers from Sephora, and she also pulled out one of her own makeup items (that are also sold at Sephora) and it turned into this big heated mess. She looked mortified/embarrased...I dont know how long it took to resolve the problem because I left before they did but I dont want you to ever be caught in that kind of situation. Unless they go back and look at the cameras, its really tough to prove whats yours and whats a tester. Thats why the only thing I ever take out of my bag (in any store) is my cell phone.

Re: Swatch to get a free eyeshadow!

Yeah no, that's why I never did. It's the UD deluxe shadow box, which is discontinued online, but they may still have it in some of the bigger stores, so maybe I can try using that.

 

Yeah, I sometimes feel oddly uncomfortable when putting samples in my purse and hesitate to pull out the makeups from my purse. Altho I think if you show it and tell the sales associate by the front door right when you walked in, it should be fine and they can serve as your alibi (since you haven't even gotten near the items yet).

Re: Swatch to get a free eyeshadow!

Jeezz....that's all kinds of awkward!

 

I can't believe the sales rep confronted the customer. Any retail job I had we were always strictly told not to accuse or make statements that could be contrued as accusations in case it really was an innocent mistake and a customer decided to pursue legal action over it. Or even just for safety reasons, you never know if someone is armed or may get desperate/violent if caught/accused.

 

That's pretty ballsy. Even if we ever saw with our own eyes someone taking or stealing something we never were suppose to yell things like "Put that down" or "Stop!" we always had to approach it with a "customer service" attitude of "Did you want me to get you a basket for your items?", "Did you want me to hold some of the items you're shopping for at the counter so you have more free space?", or even "I can help put some items back for you if you've changed your mind on a couple of things!"

 

On occassion when working make up and even clothing retail we had women that would bring in articles of their own clothing from past collections or make up items of their own if they were prepping for a big look and wanted us to use some of their own product on them during make overs, but they would always come right to an associate and tell us "Hey, I've brought this in with me, I didn't want you guys to think I'm stealing it or that it's new product, I just want to see what would match with this."

Re: Swatch to get a free eyeshadow!

Yep. I think the sales person didnt see her take it out of her purse and put it on the table, she just saw her take the item from the table back *into* her purse and jumped her right there. It basically turned into a huge fight, there was yelling and everything, I made my purchase and bolted right out of there in case the cops came and wanted to investigate the witnesses. I think she even took out stuff from her purse that was high end makeup, but not sold at Sephora, and she got accused for those as well. Geez sephora people, know your brands.

 

And WOW! I could never ever bring my own clothes...that just seems like a mess waiting to happen. Even if you tell a woman upfront, that woman might go on break or leave and put someone else up there while you're in the changing room...no way. Ever.
