Any beauty/cosmetic or fashion retail shops that have higher pay or reimbursement?

May 28, 2021 08:45PM
A while back, there were many high-end cosmetics shops from a few MS companies. Have they stopped doing them, at least from one of them?

Are there other beauty/makeup/skincare shops that are going on these days?

There were some rare but good fashion shops several years ago, like full reimbursement for a item at a high-end trendy fashion retailer (maybe about $100-150 reimbursement). Is there anything still like that?

I find the department store shops tough, with relatively low pay and no reimbursement.

Are there still some of those jewelry shops going on with reimbursement for reasonably priced fashion jewelry?

I'm in California, by the way.

As far as the cosmetic shops, I haven't seen any during the pandemic. The ones I used to see before that required sampling makeup. That's not being done around here...

I'm in New York and I've seen a few. I don't know what "higher pay or reimbursement" means, but those I saw posted provided reimbursement with no pay, or pay around $20 plus reimbursement.

I meant the ones that paid around $40 for non-purchase beauty counter shops that required sampling. I don't know if the $40 included a usual bonus added on, though. There was another company that paid around $20-30 for no-purchase sampling shops and reimbursed maybe up to $60-$80 for beauty purchase shops.

I wonder if these kinds of shops will be available again as pandemic restrictions are lifted.

I guess like so many of you, I mainly did mystery shops because it was a fun way to try all these different stores and beverage/food places that I otherwise wouldn't think of going to.

I suppose shoppers like me have a FOMO personality and really like trying new things and learn about new trends, at least in the retail/beauty/eatery/entertainment space.

Albatross has a few high-end shops. They have a perfume shop with an $85 reimbursement and several visit only in the 35-40 range.
