I had a meeting in Georgetown yesterday afternoon & decided to stop at Sephora before heading south again. I haven't done the 'ME' thing for way too long, had a couple of skin issues I had been meaning to address, but just hadn't taken the time yet. I knew before walking in that I was interest the Clarisonic Mia for one thing, and was assisted by a great young lady named Katy. She wasn't only helpful; she was knowledgeable, kind, funny and DIDN'T try to up-sell me to the newest/most expensive one - same thing for the other products that I bought. That right there is huge for me (when I run across people that are pushy & care about nothing but the sale, I'm out the door and will spend my money elsewhere!) She asked questions based on my skin concerns and I asked her for recommendations; she led me to options that wouldn't just help me, but would give me more bang for my buck!
I had read great reviews on the Mia, and one thing that stops me from washing my face (outside of doing it while in the shower) is that I don't really feel like using my fingers to put the cleanser on "in a circular motion" really does the trick, ya' know? Well, Katy did a demonstration on my hand with the device, and WOW!! The difference between my two hands after she was done was amazing!! I swear, this is really a review for Sephora, but I think my excitement over my purchase is starting to make this look like a review for Clarisonic! ;-)
Needless to say, I am so very happy that I decided to stop at this store while I was in GT, and I'm really excited to try my new products (my new Mia has to charge for 24 hours before I can use it.)
I do also need to point out that there was a gentleman (I'm so sorry I didn't get your name!) that was very helpful in helping me choose new make-up brushes! The other employees that I ran across while browsing through different areas of the store were also very kind - none of them were pushy at all; they greeted me with a smile and let me know that if I had any questions about anything they would be more than happy to help.
Based on this great experience, I will definitely be making the drive to Georgetown (which really isn't that bad when you hop on I-35 during non rush hour times) for my beauty care needs, or even just to browse around and check out everything they carry! If I had had more time yesterday, I would have hung out longer; not only do they carry an array of different products, there was just a great, happy vibe in there =) read more
