There were three separate in person interviews. First with Macy’s retail managers, second with the counter manager, and third with someone who works for Lancôme on the outside. I thought I applied as a Beauty Counter Associate, so I was thrown for a loop when I was asked what my favorite Lancôme product was and if I researched the company before applying. Oops! So I did not get the job. It was a typical retail process up until meeting with the Lancôme representative. They want to make sure you are very passionate about the brand and products.

I mentioned that I had no previous retail experience, yet all of the interview questions were based on having prior experience. Wasn't surprised that I didn't get an offer. However, the recruiter shouldn't have scheduled an interview with me if they had known I had no experience (I wrote this on my resume AND cover letter).
