Noooo not at all, I just think we’ve been exploring other things first lol I have to say I find them very off putting also. Personally the staff seem very cold in a few of the branches I’ve been in, never a very welcoming feel 😦 Shame!!!

Oh Karen, I might be changing into an Estee Lauder girl as well. Just reviewed an amazing lippy on the blog. But yes, chanel will always be a fav.
And I couldn’t agree with you more on Mac: they seem very orientated towards younger teen girls who like busy counters and don’t seem to mind the lack of service. I have had some great assistance, but it really depends on the sales person. xx

Ahhhh seriously?!?! See I feel that way about Clinique too 😀 hehe It’s brill when you find something new that really captures you – but of course, Chanel always has your heart 😉
YES!!!! That’s exactly the vibe I get from MAC. It really isn’t inviting at all… I’m surprised they haven’t looked at this issue as it’s no secret unfortunately. Like you say, all pot luck on who you get. one of the nicest was when I was buying a MAC lippy as part of my sisters birthday pressie… was thinking to myself ‘why couldn’t I have got this girl in the past!?!’ lol Thankfully the girls at the Clinique stand are amazing 😉 XXXX

I think that is why mac get away with it: those girls are too young to have tried the more expensive counters so they don’t know what they are missing. It is awful though, I once spend 20 minutes browsing without being spoken too once by the three assistants all gossiping in the corner 😦 Just doesn’t make me want to buy stuff from them. xx

Yep, me too – last time I was in I was wanting to swatch Velvet Teddy as a few of them were gabbling beside the till area. The look I got for interrupting one girl as she seemingly slated her ex or some male friend… was crazy. Got a very dry & huffy response along with a total head to toe eye glare… I know I’m not a small girl by any means but totally made me feel like I was utterly inadequate shouldn’t have been there 😦 Thank heavens for online shopping – just a shame they don’t have the same happy cheery staff as LUSH does… I love their shop. The assistants in the Belfast store are superb 🙂 MAC could really learn a thing or two from them!! XXXXX

Oh that sounds horrible! I don’t understand that brands let such things slide in training, it means customers get put off and don’t return. They should consider themselves lucky you still order online.
LUSH people are just so happy: going into one of those stores is a guaranteed way to feel better.

Yep, not a nice experience… I honestly think that’s the reason why I’m not heavily reinvesting in MAC. Feel like I’m supporting such a dire customer service, I really should have emailed them at the time to complain.
Agree with LUSH, such a happy lovely atmosphere – if only every shop had their ability to make you feel so valued 🙂 Xxx

I have exactly the same: whenever I start browsing at Mac I have a little list of things I want to try and swatch. But I can never find half the colors and help is impossible to get…I usually give up and go visit a nicer counter in stead. xx
