Clinique @ Bloomingdale’s

I hate malls. Of any kind. I prefer to shop at small stores, and think that any place where you can buy a tuxedo and McNuggets in one stop is evil. And wrong.
But alas, I am a girl. And I need my makeup. For the most part, I can get everything I need at Target; with the exception of a few key pieces that I splurge on a couple times of year. Splurging means the mall, and this trip meant Bloomingdale’s. It seemed less annoying for me to travel to Skokie than to fight with crowds (because I hate people) on Michigan Avenue to make my shopping trip to Clinique.
Parking — a breeze. Service — amazing. There was hardly anyone there! Yay! Because I hate people. Grace Ilagan, the Clinique Business Manager (whatever that means) was helpful, and not overly pushy — another reason I hate malls. But she got me what I needed, thanked me for my business and made my mall experience not as painful as I’d thought it would be.
