Perfumes and lipstick have whale snot in them.......look it up.

It's like ky jelly has sodium hydroxide in it. This is suppose to lubricate the vagina, ha ha ha, sodium hydroxide is black hair relaxer, so it dries out the vagina even more. Astroglide, make sure not to get the jelly it has sodium hydroxide. Always read labels.

Baby foreskin is used in the cosmetic industry. Don't believe? Google it. I wonder why Feminists don't make a fuss about it... Hmmm

I wish I had my foreskin. I'm planning to sue the pediatrician that did it to me.

how to get a job in the cosmetics industry

no problem! i hope this helps. and yes, i think that you still have a strong chance, even if you have more of that type of background. sephora and mac are companies. companies run and need precision and amazing customer service. i really can't stress that enough. customer service is everything to a strong company. even if you start out just being at cash-wrap, you will learn and grow. also, cosmetic companies will invest that time and money into training you. you will be covered with that too!

victoria donelda commented on 22 Feb 2013

probably just what she said. if they're not looking for adding additional cast members right now, they'll keep you in mind and call you in for another interview or for hire when they need you. you aren't going to see a lot of hiring at sephora from now until july or september. then after that it's holiday, and around february they decide who they'll keep from the holiday bunch. that's another great opportunity you can have. get hired for holiday and impress them and you'll most likely stay :)

An update on my search for a job at Sephora. I went to the locate store at Sephora and i talked to the manager and she told me that they will start the hiring on February the 1st. i asked her for a job application and i gave it back to her along with my resume. I been going to the store to shop for some make-up and she remember my name. of course i went there with my make-up well done and black outfit. i talked to every girl in the store and they seem nice.

victoria donelda commented on 07 Jan 2013

hey there, thank you :) like i said, it's all about working your way up and showing them what you have to offer. impressions and passion are everything in this industry, so just keep that in mind. also, i would suggest going in to ask questions like that. phone calls can be annoying if they are busy, and it gives you one less opportunity to let them get associated with your face. put yourself out there as much as you can so that they will remember you xx

tristaneAlexandria commented on 23 Feb 2013

True because the specialist pulled me aside when I came back to shop and said it was really about payroll and kept affirming I was gonna get hired later on as their transitions settle down. I'm at Ulta currently as a consultant so I'm already in beauty. Everyone has told me most people dont even get called back if they dont want to hire you so the fact that they said all of that means alot I was told. Thanks for the imput and the video.

Lorelei DiAngelo commented on 19 Oct 2012

Thank you... I was on the fence about applying but now I have the confidence I need to get my application... But the only thing I'm a little scared about is that my "Job History" is in either secretarial work or within the construction industry... Will Sephora or MAC still take me even though I don't have the "right" job history? Your help would be GREATLY appreciated!! Also once again THANK YOU SO MUCH!

tristaneAlexandria commented on 24 Jan 2013

The store manager asked me to apply after finding out I worked at ULTA and we share the same Philosophy rep so I'm pretty secure that I have the job. I'm gonna go in my normal ULTA clothes and just do my thing with what I know. If i get it I do but if I dont I dont. I think I'll get it mainly because they asked me to apply instead of vice versa.

shamila khan commented on 07 Jan 2013

Hi, first I want to say you are really pretty and I loved this video. I have a question I want to apply at Sephora but I have never worked in make-up industry before is that okay. I have worked at 7-eleven and was a tutor at a school. Also do you it would be okay to call them and ask if they have any openings before applying? Thanks.

tristaneAlexandria commented on 21 Feb 2013

I did my demo interview and they said to work on my selling abilities they called me back to tell me they would "hold off" on hiring me till later mainly because of pay roll. the director who got me to apply in the first place. Told me not to be discouraged and assured me I would end up there later on. What do you think of this?

victoria donelda commented on 29 Dec 2012

i asked for tips from friends i knew inside of the industry, and did as much as i could to prepare. like, knowing products, being up on trends, that kind of thing. a lot of product knowledge comes with time and training. i wasn't at the point i am today, however, i made it my business and goal to immerse myself in the art :)

victoria donelda commented on 16 Jul 2012

hey there! you want to try to keep things as honest as possible, but like i said, if you like a drug store foundation the most/it looks the best on you, wear it! just make sure you've studied other foundations enough so that you have one that matches the same finish of the one you're wearing :)

victoria donelda commented on 16 Aug 2012

that depends. if it's a new store opening, you all will train together and brands will come in and teach you product information. if you're a new cast hire, you will probably be sent to sephora university during it's next session. sometimes that's in california, chicago, just depends xx

Lisa J commented on 16 Jul 2012

hey Victoria! I've always wondered if lying was okay when they ask you what you're wearing on your face... I mean I've tried a fair share of high-end foundations but I always find myself reaching for my Revlon Colorstay and always thought about what I'd say if they asked

Cassie A commented on 07 Oct 2012

Do you think working at an office job for 4 years and doing makeup for a high school play a couple of times would help me get a job at Sephora? I was thinking about applying there around when summer starts. And I love the decorative piece in the background!

victoria donelda commented on 12 Oct 2012

omg, yes! i don't believe that makeup is gender limited. of course, some people have a harder time seeing things that way, but it's an art! to me that's like saying there can't be a girl drummer. it's bull shit to me. do what you love and make you happy :)

lovelyyedi commented on 21 Dec 2012

what if you havent worked anywhere like a store or something like that, basically only babysitting and stuff like that but the people you have worked with are with very "high authority" doctors and other stuff. would that still be enough in order to apply?

victoria donelda commented on 17 Feb 2013

from my professional standpoint, age is not a disadvantage. it's all about your level of professionalism and maturity. a company will invest in a dedicated and passionate twenty-year-old before a flaky 30-year-old, and vice versa.

victoria donelda commented on 22 Dec 2012

every person is different in what they look for in applicants, there is no right or wrong answer. i personally think you would have a difficult time if you have never worked in retail before, but that's not to say impossible.

Thetoofacedlover commented on 25 Aug 2012

Thank you so much. I just turned 18 and I'm applying to sephora. I'm really skilled at makeup but don't have retail experience. I really want this job. I'm so nervous and these tips helped me so much.

Elizabeth Mendoza commented on 30 Nov 2012

I am planing to apply tomorrow morning so it going to be my first time i apply for cosmetics store. I really would love to work at Sephora i love make-up. so i am preparing myself before i go there.

Mariah Adams commented on 16 Oct 2012

So um this is my first time coming across your video and you are freaking amazing! I honestly felt like I straight up knew u lol. Awesome video, eased my nerves for my upcoming interview a lot.

victoria donelda commented on 01 Jul 2013

thank you! i would try to apply before holiday time, so september would be great. it also just depends for every store, you never know when they need new cast members unless, so ask around :)

Carrie Tucker commented on 06 Aug 2012

Why doesn't this have more views!? This video was extremely helpful, it's always nice to hear first hand advice from someone who's inside the industry. Thank you!

Maria I Sanchez commented on 29 Dec 2012

Wow this is GREAT!!!! Just wondering, did you do all of this or did you learn along the way working at Sephora?! By the way your reallllllyyyy pretty!

victoria donelda commented on 17 Oct 2012

congratulations! are you working on your look? make sure you go into it calm and relaxed. now is the time to be really enthusiastic and in control xx

Stephanie Turgeon commented on 19 Jun 2013

I have an interview at Sephora today and even though I already watched this before, rewatching has DEFINITELY helped me. Ahhh you are amazing!

KinkyProudVLOGs commented on 16 Nov 2012

OKAY i absolutely love your personality one question though does it matter if you have your GED and not your high school diploma?

cmaye123 commented on 17 Feb 2013

In retail, mainly younger associates are hired because they apply.. there are not too many mature people working retail!
