Hello ladies!  I just wanted to shoot you all a quick email and let you know how thrilled we all were with the makeup you did on us for my new sister-in-law's wedding on September 17th.

Hi Alanna and Ann, It was great to meet you at Rouge last week. I love my new cosmetics, and they continue to provide the lift that I was looking for to rid me of the winter blues! After losing my husband this past Fall, I have been going through a tough process. I want to acknowledge that you both touched me with your compassion when I was at Rouge, and I thank you both for that.

Boston, MA 9/15/2010 I was an evening walk-in looking for some recommendations for bridal makeup for my destination wedding. Shauna helped me right away and walked me through the GloMinerals makeup she recommended. More than that she prepped my skin and proceeded to do a mini-trial of the foundation to find the right color. I walked away with exactly what I needed, and was very very pleased with the exceptional service! No pushiness, no attitude, no overblown makeup choices - just warm, good natured experts who treat you like a friend.

Salem, MA 7/29/2010 I love your store! It is appealing to the eyes and senses. I recently went in to find a foundation. Heather took the time to apply and reapply many foundations till I found what I needed. She's wonderful! Thanks again!

"I was in last week to have a makeup lesson for my upcoming wedding. I just wanted to write and thank Manda for doing such a great job. She listened to what I wanted and nailed the look right away! I have had my makeup done in the past, and have NEVER been happy with it. I was very pleased with the products that Manda recommended, and even more, with the look that she created for me. I left feeling excited and confident about doing my own wedding makeup for my destination wedding. I wish I could bring Manda with me! I might have to stop in for a little brush up lesson for the amazing eye look that she gave me!"
Thanks for providing such wonderful service Manda!

"Just wanted to drop you a note to say a huge 'THANK YOU' for making us all so beautiful for my wedding day. The makeup was just gorgeous, and my experience at Rouge was top-notch and professional - and fun! You were such a joy to work with. Within the next few years, I expect Rich and I will be moving up to Northern MA and I hope to work with you again when that happens. Our official photos are not in yet, but our photographer was gracious enough to post some photos on facebook for our friends to view. Are you on facebook? If not, I will pull some photos together to email you soon."
Thank you so much to you and your team - You are the best!

"I truly love Rouge. Since the first time I walked in last year, I have had great experiences there. The first time was when I finally ran out of some old Aveda make up and found that Aveda no longer made the colors I used. I went to the Nars counter at Lord & Taylor and found Nars, but they didn't have the colors I liked (only on display). So I went to Rouge where Marlo worked w/me on finding what works best for me. We found it and I walked out of there feeling very confidant.

What I liked about Marlo was that I didn't feel like she was pushing anything on me, she helped me find what I needed and showed me some application tricks as well. She really met my needs. Since then I have gone in for other items and have been extremely happy w/all of my purchases.

My mother and I had a great time there two Saturdays ago for a Caudalie promotion w/facials. The facials were awesome and on top of that, Marlo and Andrea gave us makeovers. In fact, when I asked Andrea to reapply what I had on, she said, "No way. Ever since the first time you came in here I have wanted to do your eyes. Sit down you are getting them done." And wow, did she do them! I should mention that I am typically a minimalist when it comes to makeup, but Andrea did things that I never would have thought of. In the wrong cosmetics shop this could be a bad thing, but this is another example of why rouge is the right cosmetics shop. Andrea really made my eyes stand out and made them gorgeous! I have been thinking about it ever since.

So if you want to do something new, or just pick up more of your "old reliables", I think you'll be happy you walked into Rouge."

Thank YOU so much for such a fun night on Saturday. I had an absolute ball and am so excited about my new makeup and my new look! You are incredibly talented, and your great personality and approach made the whole evening absolutely perfect. I can't wait to come in for my summer makeover (although I expect you'll see me sooner when I run out of the great products I just bought)!

Thanks again for such a fun time. See you soon!
- Nancy
