Sephora

Can not go to the mall without stopping in here. Its a bit on the pricey side for things like brushes and basics. Although i love the samples and the staff are super knowledgable! I bought the Anastasia Brow Wiz and got home to find the box empty, this is not the first time ive gotten an empty box from the store.

Sephora is the best for skincare & makeup products! I always go here because it’s the closest to my house. The ladies are incredibly nice and everything I have purchased from Sephora has always been worth the price. Sephora is known to be a bit pricy but I would say it is worth it. I honestly love their skincare and so far so good, everything I have purchased has worked out perfectly!

I knew I should have gone to TD square to do my Sephora Haul today. For some reason, the shopping experience at market mall Sephora is always a hit and miss. Some sales associates are very friendly, some aren’t — like the cashier I had today. She worn black glasses, had medium long hair. She was very cold and didn’t even bother to throw in any samples or any red tissue in my bag after I just made an over $ 520 purchase. It’s not that I really need those samples or tissues. It’s the attitude I received from her. It seems to me that she doesn’t like working there. The other short haired older lady however, while I asked for a sample, pleasantly showed me how to print out product info from the screen on the wall. She was friendly and professional — that’s called customer service.

This is THE best place for makeup!
Sephora has a great selection of cruelty free makeup. I shop for Urban Decay, TooFaced, Kat Von D, Tarte, Buxom and Anastasia Beverly Hills cosmetics at all Sephora locations but I feel like Market Mall’s Sephora is always fully stocked and the staff is super nice! I love to spend my time and money here.

Omg. This place is AMAZING. The staff are so attentive, nice, and helpful and they make you feel so comfortable. Everyone goes out of their way. First time in the store was last week and I am so satisfied with all the makeup I bought. This store is a shopping experience done right and I will be back.

LOVE this place!!!

I usually like to shop online for products at Sephora but, I was shopping with a friend and she needed to pick up a sample for her sister in law. This was the first time I visited this Sephora location. Usually, I am completely ignored when I have been to Sephora stores in the past. Hence, the online shopping. But, this employee named Liu helped us straight away. She was so knowledgeable and energetic. I ended up loving the sample oils I tried and went back a few days later to buy the products she recommended.

Had a wonderful consult with a lady I believe Rebecca. After my experience at the core location. It was wonderful to have an appointment with a mature, intelligent woman who listened to my concerns and didn’t try to force products I wasn’t interested in on me. She did suggest a few new products that were along the lines of what I was looking for and I may just buy those soon too!

I’m torn on the rating here. This particular time I went, I was on a mission, needed black eyeliner, no one even looked at me or asked me for help. Which they usually do. So that was a tad rude, but as mentioned I was on a specific mission, not browsing for new products.
That being said I didn’t get into make up until 2 – 3 years ago. And my wifey took me to Chinook’s location to get me started. I love their Sephora brand, plus the fact they have lie every brand of make up in there.
If you are on a time limit, don’t go in. It is a rabbit hole. HAHA. Each time I go it ends up being a few hundred dollars on random things. But great selection and usually friendly staff.

With my old favourite makeup brands no longer cruelty free, I waltzed into Sephora about a week ago in attempts to replace some old favourites I have phased out. While I don’t wear a ton of makeup everyday, I have always liked Sephora for its variety.
While the staff were for the most part friendly, I get the sense that most of them have more of a retail background than strictly cosmetics. For this reason, when I visited last week, I relied mostly on my iPhone to look up various brands, and double check ingredients found in my selections. What did I go home with?
–Some Urban Decay mineral foundation. This brand is incredible. There was a scare earlier this year regarding Urban Decay possibly selling their products in China, where animal testing is required by law (gag). However, after a huge response from their patrons and talks with animal rights organizations, they announced they refuse to sell their products until China until non-​animal testing methods are accepted. I feel that turning down such a huge market to maintain their integrity deserves several high fives, and Sephora is the only place I can find this brand.
–Some full-​bloom powder blush by Too Faced, as well as some TEDDY BEAR HAIR brushes. Yaaaay.
–A lip tint from OCC. Sephora has recently begun selling these amazing 100% cruelty free, vegan, gluten free lip stains. They are basically like a really concentrated lipstick that you apply with a brush. I fawned over these online for weeks until I found out Sephora had them in store. Right now this location only carries six, but way more shades are available online.
Sephora also carries the Pacifica line of cruelty-​free fragrances which are awesome. I also like their Beauty Insider rewards program. While this store is nuts over the holidays, and I often end up answering my own questions with Google searches, I am happy it is here.
*Review ³⁄₃₀ of Unilocal’s 30 Day Challenge 2012

I have been on the quest for a new winter fragrance for the last several weeks. I like Sephora because they have a screen on the wall which allows you to narrow down fragrances by the fragrance profile or the name etc. Unfortunately this Sephora’s computer was down but that didn’t end being a problem since I was helped by Liz, the human fragrance computer.
As a customer I appreciate being served by someone who is really well versed in the merchandise that they sell. She was able to accurately describe the top notes, middle notes and base notes in almost every fragrance Sephora offered. When I described my preferences she pinpointed a couple of perfect options. If I were just to rate her, she would be a 5+.
This store itself is on the small side for a Sephora and doesn’t carry all of the products that their larger counterparts have, but it provides a pretty comprehensive collection of make-​up, fragrance and skin care products.

I prefer Sephora in Chinook over this one, however I came here one day because I was closer. I went in to buy some Gel nail polish, and some Laura Mercier powder. I asked the lady working if she had any white Gel nail polish and she takes me to the Gel polishes and takes a look at this one called «Bare to be different» and goes to check if there is more in the back. They didn’t have any so then I asked if they had any of the powder I came for also. They were out of that also. I’m really impatient when it comes to makeup, so I decided to drive out to Chinook’s Sephora because I called and they had both products I needed. I bought the Gel nailpolish and opened it up only to find out that it isn’t white… it’s pink. So now I need to go back to Chinook and hope that they return it all because the lady at Market pointed me to the wrong color when I asked for white.

I have to agree with Jag S.
This location is dim, the girls don’t seem to know that much about makeup. They have dirty brushes that they try to apply makeup to your face with (as if I would go for that), often times (sorry for being harsh) the girls working there are ugly and they makeup isn’t even close to flawless, the store is dirty and understocked. Why buy makeup from someone who cannot do a good job on themselves to start? Someone had to say it!
In all honesty I only go here in a last desperate attempt to find a product, if my usual counter for whichever brand is sold out. I have found that Shopper’s Drug Mart is so much nicer, cleaner and the people are much more professional.
I like the Chinook location a bit better, but I still don’t like the way Sephoras in general is laid out. Sorry ladies.

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…

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.

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!
