The Scene – Surprisingly unpretentious, Bendel's qualifies as a veritable "land of pure imagination," where, with a swipe of blush, a stroke of eye shadow or a flourish of lipstick, you can unleash the glamazon within. You'll feel like a kid in a candy store. The customers include pretty people in Prada, moms with a thing for fancy skin creams and tourists who love to lay it on. – – The Goods – Don't forget to check out the upper floors--aside from hip brands like Pout, Kima Terramare, Kevin Aucoin, Tarte and OleHenriksen, there's also a slew of posh trinkets,…

Watch out for Bait & Switch tactics!!

by nealanog at Citysearch

A friend recommended Paula Dorf cosmetics and said that there was a cosmetics counter at Henri Bendel. She said the make-up was amazing and suggested I try it out. I went last week and found the makeup station that had the Paula Dorf sign. There were two girls working the station and I walked up and said I was interested in the Paula Dorf line. One of the girls offered to do my makeup and directed me to seat at the side of the counter.

Turns out, she was working for the Benefits makeup line!!! She used several products which I thought were fine so I purchased them and when I got home I couldn't understand what the link was between Paula Dorf and Benefit brand....there is none!!! I am so disgusted that this was done and will not go back! Buyers beware and ask questions if something doesn't seem right!
