My lovely birthday pud at Lounge 10, ManchesterWell, for starters, thank you for all your lovely birthday wishes, and especially for your MAC recommendations! I had a fantastic time yesterday which finished with dinner at one of my favourite Thai restaurants, Patara, and cocktails at the Soho Hotel - yum!
But onto the MAC situation! My boyfriend's friend has caught a nasty bug while on holiday, so she obviously couldn't do my make up. We decided to go to a different MAC store, closer to where I wanted to go shopping, and I can't tell you how disappointed I was with the 'make up' she did. The store was so quiet, and I asked if she had time to do my make up. She said 'yes' and that she could do a 'focused demo' so we agreed on an eye look. I told her I wanted to get Bare Study and a few other neutral shadows, and so she said she'd create something using Bare Study as a base. After two minutes of her trying to choose the eye shadows, I suggested Satin Taupe, Mulch etc and she came over with just Satin Taupe, and put that on over Bare Study. I mean, isn't the whole MAC experience about getting a good 3 or 4 shades built up to create something really striking? I was so surprised that she just went with one, but when I suggested more, she was really reluctant. To make matters worse, it was just swiped over my lid and looked like something anyone could've done. I asked if she would put some liner on to at least try and finish the look and again, it just seemed like such an effort. Needless to say, I bought Bare Study and left it at that! Phew, rant over!
So, I am waiting until the boy's friend is back from sick leave and THEN going to get it all done properly! Consequently, the decision is on hold about who wins as I didn't want to stick around and look at shades given the crap customer service!! Stay tuned, ladies!
