    SEPHORA @ FASHION VALLEY Parking is available in any of their lots, but I'd recommend parking near PacSun/Zara or Nordstrom for the easiest access. As we walked up, we were immediately greeted by the staff, which was such a nice touch. Inside, there's a huge selection of makeup, from Charlotte Tilbury to Selena Gomez's Rare Beauty. It can definitely feel a bit overwhelming at first, but I found a super sweet girl who helped me find a skincare routine specifically for acne. She recommended trying Dr. Brenner's mask for about 10 to 15 minutes, and she was so kind and helpful throughout the process. One thing I really love about Sephora is that you can try everything out, from testing new shades to experimenting with products right there. They have makeup removers, mirrors, and trash cans everywhere, which makes it so convenient. The staff is also super friendly and always willing to help. We even met a girl wearing witch makeup who told us about a carnival happening the next day, such a fun vibe overall!

    Sephora is located inside JC Penny at the mall. Weekdays is rarely busy, great time to restock on any products you may need. Staff is so helpful and friendly. You can sign up with them to earn points for future purchases. They have plenty of makeup here but they do not carry MAC products. Great store, I will return.

    Just picked up my birthday "reward". While looking through the options inside the glass, it was difficult to read what the items were. Associate told me it was a lotion and lip balm. I wanted some sort of lotion so I said ok. Lotion. She scans it and hands it to me. I look at it and noticed it's not a lotion but instead a mask! So I asked to change it bc I didn't want a mask. They told me sorry once we scan it no exchanges. Seriously?! So now I'm stuck with an item I didn't actually want and they won't let me change it despite literally just handing it to me. I was given the wrong info!

    Today, I visited Fashion Valley's Sephora. Diana had top notch customer service!! She was very quick to bring out the IT Cosmetics concealer that I needed. Diana also was very prompt with getting my anti-aging cream sample. I'm very satisfied with today's visit to Sephora especially because check out line moved very fast; I was only waiting for less than 10 minutes!!

    I came back once again for an ultimate glam makeover with Lily for my birthday makeup! She always does an amazing job, honestly she makes me feel the most beautiful I've ever been! She is so good at what she does and she is so attentive to detail and makes sure that you get the exact look you are looking for. She is super nice and professional as well! If you want your makeup to look perfect Lily is your girl :) Thank you so much Lily I will definitely be back again!

    Ask the Community - SEPHORA

    Does this location carry Jo Malone perfumes?

    Yes

    What product does Sephora sell that makes brown spots disappear?

    It depends on what you mean by disappear. If you mean fading the look of them on your actual skin, I wouldn't be able to help you, but if you mean concealing, the smashbox color correcting sticks work wonders! :)

To be honest, I could've updated this review a while ago, but have been really busy. First off, the ambience of the store is really nice and clean-- they offer test strips for each cologne you'd like to test and keep the counters clean. Also the chandeliers on the ceiling really add a nice touch to the atmosphere. Danny, the owner of the store, really knows how to welcome his customers and give insight on what colognes he thinks would be a perfect fit for what you'd want-- if you ask him for something fresh, simple, and good for all-around, he'll show you something you'll be walking out the door- satisfied. Danny keeps has a great selection in stock- as well as keeping his stock in check. Prices are competitive compared to other stores in the area, and you know you're getting the legit deal. You can also check beforehand coming in store what he has in stock by calling the El Cajon store number. I've really enjoyed making connections with Danny and the rest of his employees. I'll keep supporting his business as he reciprocates back in good customer service and giving a product at a reasonable price. Don't look elsewhere for colognes, as Danny at Awesome Perfumes has your back.

Initially I thought it was a liquor store, maybe because of the beautiful bottles depicted. The lettering also intrigued me and transported me to 'exotic lands'. On my way back to San Diego I decided to stop by after reading the stellar reviews on Yelp. The owner and alchemist was as other have commented super patient explaining everything from oils used, perfume notes and demoieng the deliciously smelling incense that were like precious stones. I got to smell a $250 incense that was teletransporting me to paradise. I promise him that when I get my next full time job I will totally buy that one. For today I was happy to get some creations that reminded and were names as the perfumes Coco and Chance of Chanel. Loved them and soooo accurate smells. Then got the famous Oud, darker and strong. Smells like Arabian Nights or I imagine so! The store is so spacious and beautiful and the dark tones make it cozy a misterious. I really loved the bottles so pretty and the display over mirrored trays. Also, we discussed that sometimes I don't like the kiosks at the mall because you don't want pushy sellers and the owner commented he has one in Fashion Valley but his policy is not to push for sales as obviously any perfume lover knows what it good. No one can force you to like a smell, that is a truth and there are so many smells to choose from! Thanks for the educational session. Smells evoque so much in our psyche. What a beautiful job to be a perfume maker! "All you need is love and a new perfume' is the slogan of Smell of Dubai. Well, finding men is tough work, it seems much easier to get a new perfume now and then!
