Our passports can be kept safely tucked away, because we no longer have to cross the 49th parallel (or catch a flight east) to stock up on some favourite beauty brands.
Yes, it’s finally happened: Sephora is in town.
The beauty behemoth is here in a big way (literally). The new, bright and eco-friendly downtown store is over 7,400 square feet of all things hair, skincare, bath & body, tools, fragrance and, of course, makeup.
Divided sections make it a cinch to find things to fill our silver mesh basket with Cargo, Fresh, Oscar Blandi, LAVANILA, Laura Mercier, Bliss, Benefit, Philosophy (Hope In A Jar, anyone?) and more.
A mini tour from Natalie Bechard of Sephora’s Pro Beauty Team led us to their exclusive in-store brands, including Girlactik (Halle Berry is a huge fan), Stila and Hourglass.
Major advocates of the organic Josie Maran line, we scooped up her Lip Plumping Glossin Dare ($28), along with a travel-sized Ojon Tunu Elastik Flexible Finishing Hairspray ($11) and a bottle of Tarte Celebutante Dry Oil Shimmer Spray ($28).
With their signature black-and white striped bag in hand, we left Sephora feeling pretty, oh so pretty.
