For our second educational field trip, the Job-Trainees headed to Shiseido (prounced She-Say-Doe) America's offices in Manhattan. We got the VIP treament from our hosts and now we know what it's like to be a guest on Oprah. As soon as we walked in, there were bagels, scones, fruit, coffee, juice and even yogurt granola parfaits for our enjoyment. We sat at the roundtable and heard stellar presentations from the advertising, financial, sales, and training departments. Afterwards, make-up artist Michelle took us through a facial cleansing routine with Shiseido's Pureness line. Once we were clean and dewy, she showed us, step-by-step, how to apply make-up for a natural but fun look. Several of the trainees got a turn in Michelle's chair so that she could demonstrate her technique. My favorite part was mixing lip gloss "cocktails." To continue the celebrity treatment, we got major swag at the end when each trainee and staff member received a goodie bag with lipstick samples, blotting papers, eyeshadow, and a skincare kit. Needless to say, this was very well-received by the Rosedale trainees. Is the cosmetics industry a good career option for women? I would say yes. I really think so. What do you think? And once you've pondered the working world and your place in it, feel free to tell me what flavor lip gloss you are by taking this fun quiz: blogthings.com/whatflavorlipglossareyouquiz/ I'm Rasberry Chocolate.
