If your all about town - specifically in Northgate, you may want to seek out the following people while purchasing your skin care and/or makeup.
Northgate: Shelly - she is amazing, she works at the Clinique counter at Nordstrom. Not only is she the counter manager, she has worked for Clinique for years and comes with the added bonus of being an esthetitian. The lady knows skin. My own personal experience with her goes back years - she has given me advice after advice and has gone outside the box for my own personal good - even if it did not benefit her counter directly.
Also at Northgate Nordstrom, you will find Denise. Denise is a floater. She's been a floater for years. The benefit is that she knows EVERY line. You can ask her anything about any line and if she does not know the answer (rare) she will find it out for you.
Misty Stevens is the assistant manager for Cosmetics at Northgate Nordstrom. She came from Clinique and has been in a couple of stores before coming to Northgate. You can also find her by asking for her.
The benefit to knowing people in a particular department - especially on a personal and/or recommended basis is that you are not going to run into people who have only been at the counter for a couple of weeks. The above people have been through years and years of only the best skin care and makeup training that department store cosmetics has to offer.
Nordstrom Northgate also has a fan page on facebook - check it out - the will let you know who has the next gift with purchase, also known as GWP and special events that may take place in their store. A great way to keep up with specials you may not have previously been privy to.
Nordstrom also offers a service called "personal book" - that means you can become a personal client of whomever has helped you - they will let you know personally about any GWP coming up or events or sales.
So... if you are looking for a great "in store" experience - you may want to swing their way!
