Sephora

Bright lights, red carpet and designer cosmetics bring Hollywood makeup essentials to the masses.

In Short
This glitzy beauty boutique is covered wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling in fragrances, cosmetics and skin-care essentials. Ralph Lauren, Christian Dior and Shiseido are alongside harder-to-find brands like BeneFit, Interface and Nars. Everything is available for sampling and salespeople are eager to help clients dabble with new products. You're not here to bargain hunt, though. Expect to pay top dollar.

Go mad with the goodies

by emmelinej at Citysearch

I have to say that although Sephora are quite expensive, I just love going in with a friend and going nuts. I love trying on lots of different colors and using their little makeup stations...they are one of the only stores where you aren't pressured by over-made-up catty staff. For the most party, they leave you to yourself and offer assistance when you want it. I have had some very good product advice on several occasions. Its always fun to try out different looks without having a huge pressure to buy; it makes you more likely to buy anyway.

its ok

I think sephora is to overpriced. There items are expensive for no reason, you can buy some of the same stuff at macys for cheaper, and all of the beauty products i need i get for a good price at MADKAT.

• Pros: wide variety
• Cons: wayyy tooooo expensive

Great selection, poor service

great makeup selection but poor customer service at the cash register. although i bought a small item i would think bagging it would be the appropriate thing to do.
