I've never messed with Benetint bc I fear the same. (I've never sold any, either.) I like Becca's Shimmering Skin Perfectors. The powders are more glittery, but the liquids are gorgeous and they are comign out wiht a cream that I can't wait to get my hands on!

We are required to wear a certain amount of products and a certain amount of colors. Some days I hate it, other days it's an awesome excuse to try the crazy trends!

Ha. I doubt it. Not unless they get a volume of emails. If it doesn't sell, they take it off the shelf.

MUFE reformulated their shadows this fall and they are gorgeous. Smashbox prime - meh. I don't think it's great. The good thing is they do have like 8 variations, and i like the hydrating one decently during the winter, but mostly their standard clear siliconey one - idk. I think it can smooth skin ever so slightly…

I feel like people side eye the $19 price tag of the Beauty Blender, but I won't give mine up. Oh, but related - the solid Sephora Collection brush cleaner - SO good!

You know, I really like it. I like the HD for a more natural finish but some decent coverage (i use a beauty blender to sheer it out a bit). I can't use it in the summer because i get too oily. Mat Velvet + is a pretty bit seller as well, so yeah, I like MUFE pretty well. Most foundations are going to break down,…

Try MUFE Mat Velvet +. Some like Becca or NARS Sheer Glow.

Yeah, it happens. Just like every store. I seriously don't know why people steal testers when hundreds of hands or faces have been on them. We watch as well as we can. I only had one pretty blatant shoplifter when I was busy and alone and closing, so I just called a leader into the store and she more or less scared…

I like Stila's! It lasts all day just like KVD and is only $1 more.

Ha. I'm a VIB Rouge and I hate myself a little for that. No, VIB Rouges that we get are great. Nobody's a jerk about it. Usually just a common makeup love. Occasionaly there are deluxe samples for VIB/VIB Rouge but you usually get an email promotion. One thing I do like about SiJCP is we have a lot of mailers that go…

NO! First, I love it when you come in looking for products and are wearing no products because it makes my life easier to find your foundation shade. Same, if you want to try a brow product, why come in with your brows done? We have to remove it! Its different if you're coming in after work and have had it on all day,…

I love giving samples when it's not busy. We more or less have a rule of three per client. But when the place is hopping and you walk up without buying anything and just hand me three perfume bottles and demand samples, I am going to side eye you so hard. :)

I was actually going to recommend the Sephora Collection for bang for your buck. Some of their basic skincare is pretty decent (moisturizers) and the color products as well. We've noticed that their eyeliners are basically the same as UD. I haven't noticed them breaking. MUFE, however, is a fantastic line, but…

I actually find the Anastasia kit too warm. TBH, the Smashbox has been pretty universal, even on dark-med skintones that I didn't think it would show up, it has worked! I think contouring is over hyped. The Kim K look only looks good on camera. But people can get away with lightly contouring irl, I think.

The new Peter Thomas Roth Irish Moor mask. It's like a less drying version of glamglow, like 5X the product, and less than the cost of glamglow. His pumpkin enzyme mask is also great. Stay away from his 24k gold mask. Can't be worth it. Lipstick - NARS audacious!

Honestly, I don't SEE that many people shoplift. When it's busy, it's busy. Mostly we find empty boxes. Or stolen testers, which I think is gross. Is it safe to try lipsticks? Well, we do. I mean, I sanitize the hell out of them with alcohol. As long as you are doing the same, I think it's ok. Lip glosses though -…

Agreed. Unfortunately she only sells two pre-made palettes in store. Would be great if they carried many of the shades as an "assemble your own" palette. Kind of like MUFE eyeshadows.

I don't think so. You can definitely use it in store, and even use your JCP credit card online, but I don't think you can use a designated JCP gift card online.

Fragrances. But also the testers of anything, which I think is disgusting.

I like FAB (First Aid Beauty) because they seem to be gentle yet effective. I can safely recommend them to most skin types. Same with Ole Henriksen. I think Peter Thomas Roth is over priced but decent (love his Pumpkin enzyme mask and the new Irish Moor mask).
