I went to Sephora today. Infuriating.

I love shopping online at Sephora, but I hate hate HATE shopping in the stores. The salespeople usually have no idea what they are talking about... They stalk you, and they are stingy bastards when it comes to samples. I never, ever get samples when shopping in a Sephora. Okay, I lied, one time the lady in front of me bought $600 worth of stuff and they gave her a bag full of samples and she accidentally dropped some on the floor and I took them. I guess that counts.

Hear that, Sephora? I HATE YOUR STORES AND YOUR SALESPEOPLE! Your website is awesome, though!

For some reason I walked out of there with a pair of snakeskin tweezers and a Makeup For Ever Diamond Powder #2.

I even gave them my Beauty Insider card and NOTHING!!! No samples at all! All they did was try to push that fucking ugly LORAC Beauty Insider palette on me. Jerks. Have you not learned that when you give me samples of things, I end up coming back and buying the full sizes?!

I was so mad after I left, I almost walked back in and returned everything. Why would I shop in the store when I could order online with free shipping, three samples plus my beauty insider samples and whatever promo code was available... AND not have to deal with the broken/missing/disgusting testers, out of stock everything, obnoxious salespeople and the crowds? Maybe I am overreacting, but I feel pissed.

In other news, while I was there I smelled Midnight Poison. Booooring. Smells like, hm, everything else. Kind of like Addict, with a little Poison, maybe some Dune... Lame. I like the bottle. Would look nice in my collection.

Also smelled Agent Provocateur Maitresse. Once again, cute bottle but totally boring scent. Smelled like soap after about 10 minutes. Let me say it again: Lame. Still would look nice in my collection. But lame.

I've mentioned before how much I hate Creative polishes because they never dry. Well, that's my problem now. I have a few that I really like, but. They. Never. Dry. Ever. I've tried Poshe, Seche Vite, OPI drops, Qtica drops, that weird spray... But still, 24+ hours later I could still scrape the polish off because it's still damp.

WHAT DO I DO WITH THESE?!?! How do I make them dry?

I just did a test manicure and so far it seems kinda dry, but still denty. One coat of Nailtek II Foundation, let dry. Two thin coats of Creative Spike, I let the first coat dry. Waited a few minutes and used Seche Vite. Added Qtica drops. It's been about two hours and while they are dry to the touch, I keep getting dents and marks from random things.

If I wake up with sheet marks in the morning, I think I am going to cry.
