The ability to take a complete stranger and convince them of a dire void in their life that can only be filled by their product is truly a gift.  Not only that, but the ability to allow rejection after rejection to bounce off of you like bullets off of Superman’s chest-that takes a special individual.

Working as a telemarketer for a year I can tell you selling is no easy task, but I love to watch people do it. 

MAC makeup once tried to sell me this stuff called Fix+. It’s this hydrating spray that you spray on your face after you put your makeup on to let it set and last longer.  You can also use it on a hot day, they said, it helps to refresh you. 

My thoughts after they went through their schpeel were along the lines of, “you just tried to sell me a bottle of water to squirt on my face and I’m not buying.”  Months later, I was looking through a magazine and a big makeup artist listed it as her one product she wouldn’t go without.  She sited how she just loves to spritz it on clients faces after she gets finished because it tops off their look so well.

Guess what’s sitting on my dresser.  Now guess how much I love it.

Not only do I use it after I do my makeup, but my favorite time to spritz is after I’ve thoroughly washed my face.  It leaves my skin so supple and radiant, it’s like a mini facial in a bottle, I swear. MAC told me my skin would drink it up, and as it turns out my face does enjoy the occasional blast of green tea, chamomile, and cucumber with a smell that could stand on it’s own as a body spray it’s so nice (there’s also one that smells like roses!)  One winter night when I had accidentally sucked all the moisture out of my face with a hot shower and ex-foliation it was the only thing my ailing skin would take and it felt SO GOOD.

I’m proud of myself for not getting sold on it the first time, but now that I have it I can admit it will be hard to live without (and the fact that it’s only $20 that won’t be hard to do!)
