Review from Eric C.

I had no clue that you could get samples of colognes from Sephora!
On my most recent visit, I had taken my cousin here since I told him that they had quite the selection of colognes available and that there is generally some nice eye candy to smile at while browsing.
He was most definitely satisfied on both accounts and to top it off, the nice associate offered to make samples for us of some of the colognes we were huffing.
To be completely honest, I had no intention of buying anything during this visit, but felt compelled to since my experience in the store went so well.
To my surprise, since it was also nearing my birthdate, I was also provided a gift with purchase! Things were certainly "coming up Milhouse".
Guys, don't be intimidated by all the girly stuff. There is plenty available for men in Sephora and it's nice to be temporarily pampered by women you don't know. :) -

I had never been to Sephora before, but on my last birthday i got a gift card.
I go in on a regular basis now to buy and to just browse for fun.
I instantly fell in love. -

Oh Sephora. A friend of mine refers to this store as her 'happy place,' and I tend to agree. It's so nice to be able to get all of your beauty needs from one place, rather than having to run around all over the mall to stock your powder room.
I do wish that the selection in this store rivalled their American (or even better, the Paris) locations, but on the whole they carry most of the things that I use regularly. Other necessities can always be ordered from their website...
I would appreciate more sales staff working the registers, as it always seems there is a very, VERY slow moving line at this location - made worse by the terrible 80s music blaring through the store on my last visit. (Wang Chung? Really?!?) -

Sephora, what would I do without you. You are like my bff and I always go to you when I need help. Well, help with my make-up and other fantastic beauty products that is.
I am a true fan of Sephora and used to spend plenty of time in the stores in the US before it finally arrived here in the lower mainland. I am now one happy camper. Where else can you find so many great beauty products in one store.
The coquitlam store is great. It is the least busy and the staff are always willing to help you find what you need as well as give you a sample to take home and try. -

The much anticipated Sephora opened last week... I thought I would give the crowds a few days to die down. I bit cranky, a bit stressed out, and definately in need of some retail therapy I decided to check it out today.
I liked the friendly greeter who offered me a basket. I also liked out I got to try a million different cosmetics without any pressure to purchase. It is definately still "opening busy" so sometimes getting to what I wanted was hard, but the store was immaculate, superbly merchandised, and they have all the lovely goodies which makes Sephora so great.
This location seems to be a bit smaller than the ones back east and in America that I have been to, but it is Coquitlam afterall. I easily could have spent a few hundred dollars.
I was hoping to buy my favorite red lipstick (brand: Urban Decay, color: Gash), which for some reason I didn't buy when I saw it in the Toronto Sephora, and strangely they didn't have it at this location. So a little sad over that... but I'm hoping the Vancouver location will have it. -

Like a candy store for women, the long awaited Sephora wait is over. Right in Coquitlam Centre, these stores carry all the make-up products, from the name brands, to the most simple tweezer for your make-up shopping paradise.
I was pleasantly surprised that this place wasn't like the other two I have been to (Metro, PC), where at anytime of day, it is a zoo, and you have the sales people breathing down your neck to see if you would like any help.
It's always pretty impressive walking into these stores with women who know what they want, but always end up buying more than they think they are going to get. Also, sign up for your "beauty insider card" for your free gift on your birthday! -

I love the wall 'o perfumes here - you can test out loads of scents without constantly having to ask the salesperson's help to open cases, etc. Vive la difference from the old department store model back at the Bay.
I was impressed with the salesgirl here who was very friendly and helpful even while juggling several customers. (It was a weekday, but I think a lot of people were in the mall for the air con, just like me!) She showed me the groovy scent-finding/inventory system in the store, which is a neat tool for finding yourself a new scent based on old favourites (a smiliar search function is also available on the Sephora website). When I found a scent that I liked, but was too covered in also-ran candidates to tell how it really smelled on, she expeditously filled a small sample bottle so I could try it out some more before buying.
Which I surely will. Damn, I smell good. -

This is the best Sephora out of the other locations within Lower Mainland. It is the least busy, and most of the time, I'm able to find what I'm looking for in stock. The other locations such as Metrotown and Downtown, their products are always out of stock, and/or misplaced. If you know what you are looking for, just go straight to the Sephora in Coquitlam Centre! However, the staff are much more helpful in the downtown location.

This was the Sephora store that started it all! They were sooooo good to me, helpful and knowledgable. I have never had a bad experience at this location. They are the reason I should have shares in the company!

I was super surprised at my first visit to Sephora..I expected snobby staff and pricey stuff, but was very pleasantly surprised that the prices are fairly decent and that the staff was really nice, friendly, helpful AND they gave me some free goodies after I signed up for the FREE card (I hate paying for cards from stores..they should just be glad I shop there, not charge a fee for the frequent shoppers)...anyhoo, all good...can't wait to go back when I have an hour to kill and browse around the yummy smelly girly stuff.

Can get all your cosmetics from every brand here + more. Similar to the bay cosmetic section, but you probably can rack up sephora points that are worth more than the bay points (points from the bay doesn't get you much or anything at all unless you have a million points at least).
