Sephora

Get rid of that miserable little troll that works there that looks like a short, busted, chubby, version of Lady Gaga. She is about 5′ 1′, blonde highlights, bug eyes and a big nose. She follows customers around giving them dirty looks. She was working at 7pm Thursday April 21. This is the 3^rd time this has happened @ this particular Sephora & it happened once to a friend who knew exactly who I was talking about when «Sephora in International Mall» was brought up in convo. On twitter, search for the phrase, «Sephora dirty looks». Apparently this happens quite often. I have already complained to the manager. Obviously they did nothing which leads me to believe this company uses humiliation sales tactics. Next time, I’m recording the big nosed, bug eyed, short, fat, ugly, little, troll & throwing it up on YouTube, fair warning. I would think management would NOT recommend this behavior for the sake of of their employee’s safety, because if I ever see this woman outside of the store, well let’s just say, it won’t be pretty. Again, fair warning.

Gia in fragrance is wonderful, she commended a cologne based on what I currently wear and she was spot on.
There was a woman with long pink hair who gave me the best customer service I have ever had in my life! Unfortunately I don’t recall her name. She used a device to match my skin tone and helped me find the perfect cream stick from Lancôme. She ensured that it was something a felt comfortable working with and didn’t make me feel like it was unusual for a guy to be wearing a bit of makeup to even out his skin.
I will always return to this location for their knowledge and wonderful staff. Thank you Sephora International Mall!

The International Mall Sephora location is pretty good but nothing special. It’s average to small in size which means they don’t carry all of the products of some of the larger locations such as Orlando. I like to play with new makeup so I get sad when they don’t have all the products I want to try.
That being said they still have a decent selection of makeup, perfumes, face and hair products. It’s fun to browse and shop. I can sometimes be hard to find someone to help you if they are busy. I’ve never had makeover at this location so I can’t comment on their skills in that area.
Overall, I mostly shop at Sephora online and just drop in this location on occasion.

T helped me with my special occasion makeup!

I Love Sephora. This is my go to place for all of My make up and make up accessories. If your not sure what your skin tone is the girls will do a digital skin tone test. The make up can be expensive but it is so worth it. I only have to shop here every couple of months because it lasts.
The staff is very friendly and helpful and they’re always giving samples.

I like this Sephora since I always have a good experience and get everything I need. The staff is always helpful, they come over to see if you need anything without pressuring you to buy items and are always offering samples and suggestions. I am a pretty good reader of the people who ask questions that come across fake but this location takes the time to make sure you get what you came in for and make sure you are taken care of.
Of course there are tons of female products here but they are getting better and adding more and more male items… thanks for not forgetting about us! :)

My friend and I got our eyes done by Maddie. She did an amazing job! Make sure you go to her when you have a fun night out planned.

Fantastic experience.
Expert advice.
I got not only one person to help — but two. Christy helped me with skincare and was very personable, warm, and very professional. I got some really great tips from her.
Someone in cosmetics helped me find the perfect concealer for me. I could not be more pleased.
I could buy a lot of products here at other places. However, Knowing what to purchase is always the tricky part. Customer service is what keeps me coming back.

I have been a big fan of Sephora forever. So many beauty items! The quality and selection are top of the line. I love going to the store to actually try things out. However, I usually prefer to order online because you get free samples, there is no weirdly long and windy line, and I am pretty sure no actual Sephora employee has ever offered to help me. Ever. They are very gracious with returns (I found it easy to exchange a damaged item I had received in the mail at the Intenational Plaza location) and the Beauty Insider program is free to join and offers lots of freebies. My addiction to lip gloss alone should be enough to keep them in business.

What can be said about Sephora that hasn’t already been said…
AH…All Sephora’s are not created equal. By no means at all. For example, Sephora at Forum Shops in Caesar’s Palace sells Illamasqua. The Sephora in Paris on Champs-​Élysées HAS A MAC COUNTER IN IT. I HAVE NEVER IN ALL OF MY DAYS!!! I went to THE MOST AMAZING SEPHORA at the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele in Milan, aesthetically is was the most beautiful Sephora I’ve ever laid eyes on !!! (Just thinking about it excites me.)
Tip *This location has Anastasia Beverly Hills reps (UBER POPULAR BRAND FOR BROWS) that come and do brow-​make overs using Anastasia products.* I didn’t have an appointment but one of the Sephora girls mentioned it to me and got me in. The Anastasia reps name was ROXIE AND SHE WAS SO FRIENDLY AND AN ABSOLUTE DOLL! She gave me great, user friendly advice about perfecting my brows. I ended up buying several items that I loved! Anastasia’s dipbrow pomade changed my life. Ahahhahaha! (THANK YOU ROXIE BOO!!!) That was a first time experience for me in all the Sephora’s I’ve been to.
Anyhoo…I love this Sephora, although I’ve been to bigger and better stores. I WAS ABSOLUTELY ECSTATICCC AND OVER THE MOON when Sephora started carrying Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetic’s lip tars. (If you have not tried these, please do so immediately) There’s a huge display of lip tars here!!! But, for whatever reason, this poorly stocked. Every Sephora in town is poorly stocked because I’ve checked most of them.
I usually go into this location and get lost in it. I’m only able to do so because the associates aren’t particularly bothersome and over-​bearing. I saw a review that said the associates aren’t helpful. I think it’s their job to linger around and be available for assistance, NOT to oversell products and be annoying. I like to sample and do my own color matching and swatching without interruption and when I need a recommendation, I can always find someone eager to help. (That’s ALL I ASK) Overall, I love having this particular location as an option and they always have what I need. (Except OCC’s lip tars but I think that’s the actually company’s issue not Sephora)

The staff are here are not friendly at all. Sephora should invest and send them all to customer service school. I don’t think they have ever heard of providing excellent cust. service. All in all staff sucks!

I’m obsessed with this place! I spend way too much money, but I love it! The staff here is SO nice and helpful. Anytime I have questions I am given a plethora of information along with at least 2 staff members showing me product options and trying stuff on my face. You walk out feeling beautiful, product educated and happy. Can’t get better than that!

Love this location! Such a huge store, I could probably spend all day in here just looking at everything. The store is laid out nicely and seems to be well organized. They’ve always been in stock with items in there for me. Always crazy busy! But the checkout moves along quickly.
Most of the employees are friendly and ready to help you find what it is you are looking for or give suggestions. As a makeup newb, this is great for me because most of the time I can’t make a decision! They also give out samples of items you want to try, so you don’t have to buy it full price, just in case you end up not liking it! Sweet! I would love to come in one day and just get a full face of makeup done.
Currently trying out the Kat Von D foundation and Too Faced bronzer upon the suggestion of one of the employees. So far– I love it!

This is my kind of toy store!
I stopped in to pick up a new Bare Mineral’s Foundation, and while there, I got to look through the new trends out there! I love seeing what the color trends are and what new shades and styles will be. They have one of the best nail bars out there.
Service is always tops!

I love makeup! So walking into this store is just fabulous… this ones bigger & has more products then the brandon store, which I really really like! More options, more make up to play with & try b4 u buy, & overall more goodies! Plus more employees available to help u with ur questions & makeup needs! What I absolutely loved most is that at this store they have Ali~the amazing beauty consultant! My mom & I had the pleasure of spending an hour & a half each with her & WOW she’s so talented! We both walked in no makeup up looking blah– walked out ready to party! Lol she’s awesome & every female should pamper herself at least once with a makeover with Ali @ Sephora International! I just wished they offered more coupons like Ulta does… but I still love it here.

There are a few Sephora stores in different malls around town, but the store at International Plaza is by far the best one. It has the largest variety of different brands, and overall a better selection than the other stores. For example: I love using the Stila eyeliners, and while this store has a complete Stila display, another store only had a Stila gift set at Christmas.
If you have never been to a Sephora (crazy?!), they carry many of the higher end makeup brands, as well as what are considered to be department store makeup brands (ie Clinique, etc.). They have a wonderful selection of skin care and hair care products — ones you probably never have seen/​tried before. They also have a lot of perfumes that they will be glad to give you a sample of so you can make sure you like it before you invest in it.
I love that Sephora prides itself on knowledgeable employees — I have made use of them many times. I would not go anywhere else to buy foundation. Women who buy foundation at a drugstore are doing themselves a serious disservice in order to save money — I have never had my skin ‘matched’ more perfectly than at a Sephora store. At Sephora the makeup artist has many different lines to choose from, instead of just one line, which benefits you, the customer.
Sephora prides itself on its generous return policy, so you risk nothing by going and experimenting. Well — that’s not true — I never seem to be able to get out of there for under $ 100 after buying things I didn’t know I needed, but had to have!

Ah, Sephora. So much makeup. So little time.
This Sephora is average-​sized but still pretty well-​stocked. If you’re looking for some new makeup products or even just want to stock up on high-​quality stuff, look no further. Sephora is your answer.
The staff here is usually pretty friendly. If you need some tips on how to do makeup or want a new look, don’t be afraid to ask. I know, I know, it can be intimidating going into a makeup store to ask for a «makeover» or for product suggestions because you can feel judged/​scrutinized. But the staff is really nice and will be really helpful.
I have always been a longtime fan of this store and it never disappoints. 5 stars.

Sephora, Sephora. How I love thee.
This is pretty much the only store I visit at International Mall. Every single time.
I used to think that Sephora was a lot of overpriced makeup by overpriced brands. Then, My Husband bought me the Urban Decay Naked eyeshadow palette that I had been drooling over for months. After using this palette a few times I knew that I would never waste my money on cheap drugstore eyeshadow again.
Since that day I have found many other high-​end favorites (generally through samples or playing at Sephora) including Smashbox BB Cream and Benefit They’re Real! Mascara. Most of the brands may be pricey, but they make up for it in quality and length of wear. Honestly, I drop about $ 50 a trip at Sephora and save a bundle by not buying cheap makeup and tossing it after it doesn’t work.
I am a Beauty Insider rewards member (it’s free!) and it is definitely worth it for the Birthday gift and the free samples you get when ordering online. You also get a point for every dollar spent to use towards «deluxe samples» and sometimes full priced items.
The employees are many and very helpful. They used to make me feel uncomfortable with their hovering and constant «Can I help you?»;s, but I am used to it now. That is what they are paid for. It’s also pretty awesome that you can try most products on in the store (only put the makeup on your hand! You can get diseases from testers!). It lets you determine what you want.
I love Sephora and will definitely make the drive to Tampa to visit this bigger stand alone store (versus my small one in Tyrone).

I love this place. The concept of cramming all of the best beauty products into one place… genius. The associates are always helpful and I like that you can accrue points through your purchases for free gifts. Samples in your purchase bag run in abundance… these people aren’t afraid to let you try things and want to send you home with extras.
* The Sephora brand eyeshadows are AWESOME. The only negative about those is they frequently change out the shades, so I’m forced to choose another shade close to my previous more often than not. Could be worse!

NOTE: This review is SPECIFIC to the Tampa Intl Mall Location!!!
I went in to redeem my VIB coupon of $ 20 off $ 50 using my iPhone. When I got to the register, they informed me this coupon had been redeemed 2 days earlier at that store. I informed them I had JUST moved to Tampa 2 days ago and had been unpacking and that this was the first time at the Tampa Intl Mall. They proceeded to «shush» me and basically insinuate I was a liar and a thief. I didn’t leave until they honored my coupon, and I filed a complaint with USPS that someone had stolen my mail.
There was also a very pushy guy working who was following me all around trying to get me to buy random crap! I am a VIB– I spend thousands of dollars per year there and due to the experience I had that branch lost easy money with me.
I am taking my business to Citrus Park Mall location – friendly staff and great store!
