This Sephora is huge with a wide variety of items and very different to the Sephora in Boston or NY. It just has so many more great items, downside was that it had too many customers and I had to wait a bit long to get help.

Really cute and small beauty concept shop - there's a nail bar to get manicures (Essie or Kure…read moreBazaar polishes), a make up station, a room to get facials and massages, and a nice selection of beauty products. On the left side of the shop you can buy make up products as well as get your make up done (day or night looks). They also carry a number of high-end, unique, and cult-favorite brands to care for your skin, hair, face, lips, and body. Downstairs, there's a private and peaceful cave-like room where they do the facials and full body massages. There's only one bed though, so you can't come with your BFFs to get massages all at the same time. The service, experience, and brands here are special so it's on the pricier side, but would make for a nice treat. You can preview their products and services online. They're quite knowledgeable about all the products but aren't pushy. The owner Juliette is really sweet and also speaks English if, for example, you don't know how to say, "I'm looking for a hair product that will give me a perfect slightly-wet, silky look all the time."

Thankfully, I won't be moving to France anytime soon and the flight is too costly to visit if only to shop. My wallet is so grateful. The difference between Sephora in France and Sephora in Chicago/Chicagoland is huge. For variety, quality and fabulous samples, you've got to go to Paris. Buy a tube of YSL gloss, and they give you a nice size YSL gloss in a brand spanking new color they haven't quite promoted. Samples at Sephora Paris today are the generous size I remember my mom getting when I was like 4. Her sample bag was almost as big as the full size cosmetic items she was buying.

I am an American, and I'm addicted to my hair tools…read more No - I refuse to be ashamed! I use a hair dryer and flat iron at least a couple of days per week because I have a thick, wild mane and despite it being straight, it's often unruly... unless there's a good amount of deliberate intervention. And because I'd prefer to use hair appliances that actually work to their full potential, I skipped buying a 'dual voltage' flat iron while still in the States and instead opted to purchase one in France. If you think about the math, it works out: 35 EUR for an appliance that you'll actually own for future trips to Europe vs. a single blowout at the same cost. Convinced yet? Actually en route to the Monoprix in search of said flat iron, I noticed Cyra Lydo and decided to stop in. And I'm glad I did: I had at least a dozen flat irons to choose from... everything from travel-size Babyliss irons selling for 25 EUR to high-end heat tools. I picked a mid-range appliance and was quickly on my way. Result = good hair days throughout the duration of my trip, save for the day I was drenched in unexpected downpour. Tip for American travelers: Don't forget that the maximum temperature is expressed in Celsius vs. Fahrenheit!

The only negative is that I am in Texas and I cannot actually shop in their beautiful store in person but I have looked at pictures to try to recreate the experience. I am an avid fragrance collector and with that I have made multiple purchases throughout Europe and also the Middle East. Every time I am searching and I find something I want and then I realize it is international I cringe because international shopping can be so difficult sometimes. I can say that Nose has figured it out and my shopping experience all 4 times has been spectacular. Their prices are fabulous and the fact that they include all the taxes and fees is awesome because then you are not left wondering exactly how much extra you will be charged as I still have not figured out how to know exactly the fee you get charged through customs. They have a great selection of fragrances and have some harder to find niche brands. In addition to excelling with pricing and shipping, they also include a large selection of samples that you can pick and depending on how much you spend, you can get other gifts with your purchase also. Lastly and most importantly, their customer service is TOP NOTCH. Not that I have had many problems but like anything in life, there are issues from time to time especially with customs and when I contacted customer service they were super friendly and quickly responsive. Honestly there just are not enough good things I can say. They have become my number one choice for international shopping and they have been so good and spoiled me that I do not want to use anyone else. I hope one day I do get a change to shop there in person but if you are looking for a niche fragrance at a good price, do not hesitate to check out Nose Paris, they are EXCEPTIONAL!
