Had a great experience there today!
Usually I dread trips to stores like this because people hound and hound and stick to your heels. I like some guidance but at the same time, I like to browse and think things over and think choices through carefully (will I use it, is it a good product, how's the price) and not feel intimidated by salespeople.
I went with a friend this time (maybe that's the trick) we were probably in there for an hour and a half, and had a few people check up on us, but not pester! One girl came over at the perfect time, when I was looking for the right shade in a loose powder, she quickly helped me find a shade, and then went off! I loved this! I didn't want her stuck to us for the rest of the trip so it was perfect. I like people to be close by when I have questions, but I don't need my hand held the whole way.
Prices are high, but I'm numb to them now, not out of the ordinary, just need to know which brands work for you and which ones are worth the dime. -

By now, all of us ladies are in love with Sephora. But with two in the city - I can never imagine myself shopping at this one again.
This was such a horrible experience, and it's not just a one-off, but I consistently find the service poor here. I've often had people try to help me then wander away to never return as they find some new product to show me.
Not only that but is it just me, or is the lighting a little dim?? DIM lighting in a MAKEUP store? yeah OK... -

Sephora is the equivalent of a candy store for women. You walk in and no matter which direction you look, it's inevitable that you'll start drooling.
Whether it's Christian Dior, Givenchy, D&G, Ralph Lauren or any other world renowned designer, Sephora is bound to carry their glam cosmetic and/or fragrance line. So really, when you walk into Sephora, you're walking into a room where all your favourite designers got together to create your own personal paradise.
This having been said, I headed into Sephora yesterday to get a headstart on my Christmas shopping. I was looking to pick up a couple of products for my sister but could only remember the designer and the actual product. I had no idea WHICH particular line she liked and was in desperate need of a 'Cosmetics Angel' - Enter Whitney.
Whitney somehow, perhaps even magically, knew THE products my sister uses. She walked me through the differences of the other products and why she knew for a fact that the ones in my hot little hands were the ones that my sister had mentioned in passing.
Then, we went on to look at some eye makeup and again, Whitney, with SHEER expertise, walked us through a description of the newest products, which one she uses, why she recommends certain ones and why other ones may not work for some people.
Whitney was a makeup guru. It's like she was inside my head, knew all the closest people in my life, and knew exactly what I needed to pick up to reign as the 2009 Queen Of Christmas Presents.
Whitney is the reason that my shopping experience in Sephora was the best I've ever had.
Here's to Whitney, and here's to a third of my Christmas shopping being done in the first week of October! YESSSSSSSS! -

I was very happy when this location of Sephora opened up. I had shopped online before. They carry all the top brands of makeup, Dior, Lancome, Smashbox, Stila, Benefit just to name a few. they also have their own line of makeup and brushes. There is a wide variety of fragrances and skin care as well.
I especially love the kits and sets that they come out with. For instance I recently got a Tart kit with 16 shimmer shadows, 16 solid shadows, 16 lip glosses, 4 blushes, 1 bronzer and 1 highlighter for $60, a steal! I bought the best mineral powder foundation kit here, it has lasted me forever! They have great sample kits, usually full of the most popular products from a line.
I try to stay away from here unless I have some money to spend. I am happy with all the products I have bought here, some of the most amazing lipsticks and mascaras in particular! I highly recommend checking out Sephora if you are a high quality makeup lover! -

So, if you're one of those ladies (or men) who really care about their make-up products and always looking your best, Sephora most definitely has what you're looking for.
This is probably the most make-up I've ever seen in one location. They've got so many different shades of lipstick, eyeshadow, blush, concealer, powder, everything you can think of... and some stuff you wouldn't.
The make-up in this place is pretty expensive though. I think you're paying for the name more so than the product. Everything in the store is too expensive for my liking... I prefer good old Wal-Mart brands.
I absolutely love getting something from Sephora as a present, but will never buy myself anything from here. It's just a bit too much of a stretch for me to spend that much... even if the products are designer and really nice.
