Review from Pippi L.
Sacramento, CA
10/1/2008
I was frumpily returning a bunch of mod-granny style clothes to JJill today. Why I like JJill clothes, I will never know. But I do. Someday I will be a mod granny.
There is only one JJill in town, and it's all the way out in Roseville Galleria. And I hate the Roseville Galleria, mostly because a) I hate malls and b) every time I have to go there, I get lost.
But today I didn't get lost. I was just returning clothes. And I walked frumpily past the Bella Pierre kiosk and knew I had become a mark. I didn't mind. I was going to check out the mineral make up anyway on my way out, as I'm a fan of bare escentuals/bare minerals.
Anyway, I had just been talked into a pair of JJill mom jeans by a saleswoman who commiserated with me over my 3 years post partum belly, so I was feeling particularly vulnerable and unattractive.
Yatif quickly approached me with an intriguing accent that I couldn't place at first (I thought it was a clipped French from some distant post-colonial isle.) Nope, Israeli. She noticed me trying to figure it out. I have to say, this gal has the right amount of shrewd business/mixed with enthusiasm. While I thought she had a heavy hand with the makeup, she was very excited about how my red blotches disappeared. She also made a big deal over my age, which I am told I look nothing near (however, the blotchier and fatter I get, the less I tend to believe the disbelief.) Anyway, she made it all fun.
I bought a lot of stuff. I got good prices because like I said, she's shrewd. I haven't bargained like this since my last trip abroad to Turkey, where I got nowhere trying to buy a ceramic plate, but in Roseville I walked away glowing (literally from all the make up) and also from the feeling that I had just robbed Yatif, and she enjoyed it all just as much as I did.
I particularly enjoyed her demos on how to foil the eyeshadow, streak it through your hair, or even dip your clear nailpolish into it and paint your dang nails. Sold.
I don't even wear nailpolish, eye shadow or lipstick. I just like to collect it. Luckily, this stuff won't expire.
I wished her happy Rosh Hashana and bid her Shalom, and I swear the poor girl swooned, shocked I might be Jewish (I ain't, but I like a good Seder like any smart gentile). Someone oughtta marry her and send her to college, she's ridiculously adorable.
Sure, it's expensive make up. But F*ck it. You're worth it! And Yatif might even throw in a lip balm for free if you're nice. -

On 10/31/2011 I was shopping at Bella Pierre with my mother. The girl who was running the kiosk was ringing up my 3 mineral eyeshadows I purchased when ll of a sudden their receipt tape ran out. She said " oh i'm sorry my paper ran out so I cant let you buy the product." Well I then told her to just put some new receipt paper in the machine and finish the transaction. She said they had none stocked away which is crazy for a retail shop to completely run out of receipt paper. I asked her how am I going to know that i'm not going to be charged for this purchase then? She said that when the paper runs out the machine automatically cancels the transaction. I have never heard of that in my 12 years of retail management experience.
So, low and behold, my debit card was charged and was never credited back the money that they had taken from me.
Very disappointed with the service!!!
