Sephora

I love love love this Sephora better than the MOA one, it’s more quieter and calm. You don’t get bothered and smothered as much either which I like. Most of the girls there are helpful !
I have always had trouble with my VIB insider account and they without no issue call Sephora and fixed it for me
Every time I look for a product they always have it on hand or find it for me online. Which I appreciate so much for free shipping also
This place is just overall AWESOME !

One of my favorite beauty shops. Having worked at the Sephora at Mall of America many years ago, I know my way around a lipstick or two. Besides their wonderful collections of prestige cosmetics, haircare and luxury skin care brands, they have an excellent selection of women’s and men’s fragrances. If you can’t find it in the store, they will likely have it online and you can get free shipping with a purchase of $ 50 or more.
I’ve been known to dabble in the fine art of make-​up and the correct application thereof. I do enjoy a nice solid foundation, like Lorac pressed powder foundation and Bareminerals loose powder foundation. You can achieve a heck of a full coverage with those powder minerals alone, you won’t even need a liquid foundation. A primer, however, is absolutely essential to smooth out the skin prior to applying foundation to help achieve a long lasting look. Makeup Forever has an excellent primer and so does Too Faced.
Tools, brushes and applicators, they carry an enormous collection of all the beauty essentials you might need. Everyone has always been super helpful and polite at the Rosedale location. I’ve never felt like I’m not given my space to shop at my own leisure.
If you’re into eye shadows and blush, might I recommend Nars, founded by the French genius Francois Nars. He knows how to make us blush. Go and try on some old favorites or look for a new one. There is something for everyone at Sephora!

this sephora was awesome! it was quiet, not a lot of people and I was able to shop peacefully and was only asked once if i needed help and wasn’t followed around the store by 2 secret shoppers and the rental cop like I usually am in madison. the only thing about this one was the layout… couldn’t find something, but whatever… everything else was easy to find.

I was there for some kind of event to get the free gift bag. There was a line since 4:00, so I was told they sold out when I got there at the start time at 5. Everyone there was super nice, even thought I was looking for a mere lip stain product. They took their time to show me the different types. Buying lipstick is not a simple procedure anymore. I found one for a rock bottom price of $ 12 in a beautiful plum color. I love this very quiet section of the mall. I got a heads up to sign up for some kind of card where I’ll get a free birthday gift coming up. I’m glad to not have to deal with MOA, and I agree with Melissa, this is nicer.

I rejected make up until I was approximately 27 but thank goodness I have Sephora to help me figure it out! I’ve come to this store a few times and always found the sales people to be extremely helpful but without the pressure.
Once, we were on a family shopping trip and brought our 3-​year old to the store. The girl helping me literally handed her a make up brush and let her go to town with the display items. Of course, she picked the brightest eye shadows she could find and promptly did up her face but the girl just laughed and told me they had make up remover wipes we could use when she was done. Who does that? She loved it, I loved that she had fun and I didn’t have to worry about her too much and that it was easy to clean up.
I’ve bought a few things from them but always find more when I go in. I love perusing all the perfumes when I go in, trying to find that perfect scent — hasn’t happened yet.

The Roseville branch is definitely larger than the MOA one, and the customer service is better. Plus, there’s no parking hassle.
I prefer going to this Sephora; the girls are nicer and willing to help you find a product, most of the time. Also, this store is usually better stocked than the MOA branch. Can you tell I don’t care for the MOA store?

This is the big girl’s candy store.
I think a lot of ladies get stuck in the same makeup rut – I mean «brands» as their mothers (sorry mom), so Sephora is a great place to discover greener makeup pastures.
The employees are really helpful, especially in situations where you’re looking for that one thing your friend got that makes her skin glow, but no, it isn’t that one, but you know what I’m talking about? For the most part it’s just fun to browse and test products, so I prefer to «struggle» on my own, feeling no pressure to buy (since there’s no one in white jackets staring at you from behind a glossy counter).
If you find yourself frequenting Sephora you should also join their rewards program «Beauty Insiders,» because it’s free and you’ll unlock a treasure chest of free samples and get a little gift when your birthday rolls around.

Sephora; I adore ya.
I’m not a terribly girly-​girl, but I like my makeup, and Sephora excites the same part of my brain as a lot of other good, addictive things. It would be easy to spend a lot of money here in a short amount of time, but conversely, I love spending a lot of time here poking around, testing this, that, and the other, and can be satisfied leaving with just one little treasure.
After one or two «Can I help you’s,» staff usually figure out that I’m a browser and leave me alone, but if I accept their offer, they are so ready to help out, and clearly, these are people whose brains are excited in the same way as mine by makeup and skincare products.
The selection is beyond compare, as is the service. I brought in a four-​month old pot of cream eye-​liner that I thought had gone dry too quickly, wondering how long I should expect it to last and if anything could be done. No questions asked, they immediately swapped it out for a new one.
Most recently, I was shopping for a new foundation. I had it down to a Lorac formula when I took a sales associate up on her offer of help. Asking for foundation that I wouldn’t feel, she thought immediately of Nars. Long story short: she applied each to half my face (beautifully), I still preferred the Lorac, and she didn’t pressure.
That’s a very good thing. I adore ya.
Just a note: that was November 6^th. They were playing Christmas music. You’ve been warned.
