Since, in my opinion, all Sephora stores are the same, I'm using my review of the downtown store as a basis for this review.
Location: In the Fairview mall on the West Island.
The place: It's quite large, but smaller than the downtown store. The layout makes me feel like I'm wandering through some kind of cosmetic labyrinth. That said, you can usually move around pretty easily unless the place is packed
The stuff: Sephora is bloody well-stocked with most major cosmetic brands, as well as brands I've never heard of. You'll find make-up, fragrances, some body products and assorted tools to make yourself real purty. I give them bonus points for carrying one of my favorite brands - Fresh, straight out of NYC. Also, if you're looking for travel-sized fragrances, this is the place to get them.
Service: The floor is usually well 'stocked' with clerks who will offer you bags for everything they want you to buy. However, unlike the downtown sore, I wasn't greeted or offered a bag. In fact, the service was non-existent. Guess it's a good thing I knew exactly what I needed and where to find it.
Price: It will really depend on what you're buying. We all know that certain brands are overpriced so if you're going for Lancôme or YSL, you'll pay through the nose, however if you opt for something like the Sephora brand, you'll pay a little less. One thing is certain - you'll almost always find what you're looking for.
Bonus: If you get the Sephora card, you'll accumulate points that can be redeemed for products. The more points you have, the better the product. read more
