Excellent piece. I like the part about the makeovers not being done out of the kindness of their hearts. They're salespeople. Most are not true makeup artists.

Excellent etiquette story!

Love the tipping etiquette, I always forget about tipping and feel like a feminine cleaning product (starts with a "d"..not sure how review etiquette goes...) when I don't have enough.

I love this article! It is so important to be honest, know the proper tip amount, and how to return purchases made under a pushy salespersons pressure. Thank you!

Very helpful, sometimes I don't know if I should speak up or not but I'm definitely going to try and see what happens.
