Week 1 EOC: My Shopping Experience


My greatest shopping experience took place at Nordstrom.  Originally I was not shopping for myself, but actually tagging along with my cousin.  He was purchasing a gift for a girl's birthday.  As the lady showed us different perfumes, began to get bored.  He finally decided on the latest Chanel perfume that was out (I forget the name).  I then had to help him decided between getting the pricey perfume or settling for the inexpensive toilette.  Seeing as the two of them weren't that serious I told him to get the toilette and save a few dollars. 

As the lady at the counter wrapped up his gift, I started wondering around and stopped at a Bare Minerals counter.  The lady there was very friendly, honest and knowledgeable. I had never tried Bare Minerals, but I've seen the infomercial.  She got me to buy $65 worth of the product and threw in a few sample items and I haven't spent more than $20 on make up at a single time.  The product came with two different sizes of brushes, a base compact, and an overcoat powder.  The way she drew me into buying the starter kit is that one of the brushes included in the kit alone was $25, so of course buying the whole kit was a no brainer. 

As the lady rang me up she kept me engaged in the product and convinced me to give her my email address to receive the deal notices, which I found that deals rarely happen.  The lady gave me all her info that way I can be a lifetime client and I appreciated it.  I now continue to go to that direct Bare Minerals counter to buy my product.  This type of service is rare to receive and the funniest part of it all is I’ve always told myself I would never shop at Nordstrom because I know I could never afford anything, and I’m sure the workers are really stuck up.  That lady changed my whole opinion of shopping Nordstrom.
