SEPHORA

I am not a huge beauty-buff, but its easy to see that Sephora's giant selection of high-end brands is impressive. They do have samples of everything, but when i asked for more information on a major product, the make-up artist who finally helped me was disinterested and didn't give me any more information than I could have found on the box. I found the skin-care expert able to tell me much more about the products I was looking at, and purchased some Clinique stand-bys. In the end, as a persion who wears minimal, but quality make-up, I will go to the clinique or other counter in the future if I have questions and concerns for new colors or foundations and head to sephora if I need any tools, brushes or a stand-by that I dont need to ask questions about.

Pros: HUGE selection; great tools

Cons: high prices, unhelpful sales staff

Great service.
Great selection.
Great location.
Great sampling.
I recommend the tarte line (for makeup), the blyss line (for body creams), the phyto line (for shampoo)

I absolutely love Sephora! This store sells all the new, fun makeup you can dream of! It is difficult to leave the store without buying at least one thing that you really don't need but absolutely love! The salespeople are very friendly and will help you find anything, but will not pressure you to make any purchases (the products sell themselves!!!). They have every makeup brand you can think of! And they have samples out of every color so you can test drive them before making the big purchase. They also have a great perfume selection! Definitely a store I could spend hours in!!!

Pros: variety, friendly staff

Cons: can hurt the wallet
