    I've been a long-time fan of Sephora, but lately, I find myself questioning if it truly tops Ulta. On my recent visit to Sephora, I was on the hunt for some Kiehl's products and a few other items. The selection was solid, as always, but I found myself increasingly leaning towards Korean skincare products like Snail Mucin. Unfortunately, COSRX (C-O-S-R-X) products, which have become my skincare staples, were nowhere to be found at Sephora. One thing I've noticed during my visits is that I'm rarely approached for assistance. I'm not sure if it's because I'm a guy or maybe it's the sunglasses I tend to wear indoors, but it's a bit off-putting. Shopping should feel welcoming, and sometimes, that extra help can make a difference. On this visit alone, I ended up spending over $600. When someone is making that kind of investment, you'd think the staff would be more attentive, perhaps even suggesting other products I might not have considered (upsell)‍ but hey who am I to tell you how to run your business. Sephora still holds its ground when it comes to variety and quality, but with my growing preference for Korean skincare and a desire for a more personalized shopping experience, I'm starting to think that Ulta might be the better option for my future skincare needs.

    #12 African Violet lip

    I had almost given up hope of finding my favorite lip color, African Violet, when Nestor stepped in to help. He informed me that the shade had been discontinued but thought there might still be a few left in the back. To my surprise, Nestor returned with seven tubes of my signature lipstick! I couldn't be happier. Thank you, Nestor, for delivering exceptional customer service. As a fan of RuPaul's Drag Race, I'm giving you 10s across the board!

    We'll everyone was so warm. Everytime I turned left or right, we were greeted and told their names. They also said again." My name is ________ if you need anything please let me know." This way being greeted twice by name I wont forget. I Loved how well the employees were trained or how well it just came natural. Oh my the greeter at the door. Opened thr doir for us. She greeted us by her name twice. Warm smile and directed us to exactly where we needed to go. I was so happy with all the help. I came to spend $28 on mascara. End up spending a while lot more. So worth it! Never tried lip scrub or a lip masks. Very nice Sephora Thank You.

    Tried Fenty Beauty foundation [the hydration kind] A little goes a long way!!

The prices here are not too crazy. A lot of these essential oil/soap stores will overcharge, but I thought this place was reasonable. You can get a small bundle of items for $28, a potent diffuser with 15 mL of essential oil for $18, and the soap bars are around $5. They also have a happy hour sale! Very worth it for local, small batch scents, which I usually see going for more. The two women working there today were super welcoming and sweet as well. I will definitely be coming back :)

They were super friendly, highly knowledgable, & answered all my questions. Their passion & positive vibes were contagious. Being a fragrance lover who blends scents at home, I appreciated the clear, beautifully crafted guidance. The class balanced simplicity for beginners with deep educational insights. On top of that, their fragrance selection was unbelievable--literally a library of scents! They had over 700 options, from designer oils to pure essential and aromatherapy scents. As someone who's taken other classes with fairly small options, having such an eclectic, rare selection to choose from was next level. This was a perfect act of self-care after a busy weekend, and I left with new knowledge, a beautiful custom fragrance, and immense joy. This truly was a one-of-a-kind experience. Highly recommend! I love supporting local businesses and see myself being a frequent customer--probably will pop-in once or twice a month! I am excited to bring friends here for birthdays and special occasions. Already, planning to bring my husband for a date--so we can create a fragrance together! I'm just thrilled that something like this exists right here in the East Bay. This experience was a gem, and I can't wait to return again and again!

Upon learning my scent profile, they helped me make bold but educated choices -- The one thing that I have come to terms with is that I love scents that work for me. I used to chase scents that were the "most popular" or "most attractive." However, our body oils change that profile a bit and the same scent does not smell the same on everyone. So although I do enjoy oud scents, not on me. So I told the workers there, "I like strong but subtle" and "I have some sweet scents in my armoire." Santal and Noir were previous purchase and the obvious choice would be something similar. However, a sweeter scent would also be obvious based off my collection at home (MFK 540 E, Carmina, etc.). The ladies here (on two different days) helped me decide on a scent (which I'll gate-keep) and I have loved it ever since. It smells amazing and I've received several compliments so far. Come here, be open to suggestions, and allow the scents to sit on your skin. I'd suggest coming here with no scented lotion or perfume on already and allow the oils to sink into your skin. Then maybe, you'll find out that the less "popular" scent works better for you than the Le Labo you smell on everyone else!

I once had made a gift exchange with my mini black glass canister for a "Spray the B!#ch Away" during the white elephant gift event. That was few years back. I used that spray to create a mist before bedtime, and that was a pleasant scent. Too bad my whole family didn't like that scent, not even my ex-wife. Thus, I'm the only one who can have it in my room in case I get annoyed. Back to the latest. Sweet strong scent from diffusers and sachets, sweet customer service, and a sweet atmosphere that brings positive feelings in one whiff. Though each of the purchases were still expensive, the one for $15 was the French lavender essential oil. Not as strong as my Bulgarian version in a tiny cobalt glass bottle, the French lavender will be good enough to help me relax. I have yet to use it after I use up my Bulgarian version. Anytime of the day, I can only smell with or without opening its tiny bottle. *Sniff*, *sniff*! Aaah! Aromatherapy at its very best!
