“The job is, in many cases, the second one a girl has after working in a fast-food chain, and the wage scale reflects that short step up the career ladder. The frenetic pace of the drive-thru is still there, as are the constellations of acne breakouts (due, I guess, to a promiscuous level of cosmetic experimentation). The polyester smocks and Madonna headsets are there, but now they are a fashionable black; instead of cleaning fry vats, the girls are armed with tool belts and oil-dissolving cleansers.” - Cintra Wilson, on the in-house makeup artists at Sephora, in the New York Times.

I was at a sephora recently, and I asked three girls for help finding a bronzer. I have never felt so UNHELPED. They all recommended the same one, so i bought it. The color did not complement my pale skin in the least. I definitely have some bitterness towards those girls now, which is why I laughed particularly hard after reading it.
