Well the Sephora in Denmark is pretty disappointing! I'm not a fan... We can't get UD or Too Faced or a lot of other brands that you would expect Sephora to have!

I love sephora!! I would rather get my stuff online because there is a much bigger selection, but in store is a great place to get your colors correctly on some stuff!

Pros:
- Lots of different brands
- Can have a sample of anything as long as it's not a pressed powder
- Color IQ is super helpful

Cons
- Sales are limited, but good when they happen
- Some locations are awesome , other are crappy
- Rouge perks aren't what they were hyped up to be, but getting better

It took me a while to "enjoy" sephora. I try and buy my things there simply because of their beauty perk point system. When I go into a store I know what I want, get it and get out! :)

If your ordering online, take the time n check with nordstrom, saks & Neiman Marcus. They have what Sephora has and more. And a few times I've gotten discounts on Bobbie Brown, NARS and MAC when shopping at the department stores.

Ohh Alma I know right!! we only have Sephora in one city in my country and last year when I moved here I was so excited! But I get really disappointed unfortunately!
And no I haven't tried any too faced products, but I really got my heart set on the Chocolate bar palette and some of their lip injection (I think they are called!)

The lip injection is awesome it does the job and you have to try the candle lights glow omg I love it.I also have the Bon Bon palette that's beautiful,I swear I could go on lol sorry.I'm sure the chocolate bar palette is a winner they have beautiful shadows.I will let you know that Beautylish is in the works to be able to ship out of the US  ;-)

Yay! Your a sweetheart!!
Then I just have to figure out the tax rules, we have crazy tax rules when buying outside the EU - I once bought a book from the US, end up paying tripple the amount for the book in taxes to getting it to Denmark! Crazy country ;)

Pros:
- good brand selection
- take-home samples (you often have to ask!)
- great return policy (can return if used, can get credit without receipt)
- employees are usually very helpful though there are always a few apathetic/unknowledgeable ones
- the points rewards are usually underwhelming but occasionally there are some amazing 500 pt perks like the Nars and Tarte packages
- sometimes have 20% off or $20 off rewards
- some locations have workships
- nail polish testing stations
- if you order online, google discount codes! you can often find free shipping or deluxe sample codes.

cons:
- expensive/addictive
- some locations are better than others (size, selection, staff, crowd)

The last time I went to sephora was a couple of months ago and I bought the naked 2 but when you spend $50 or more you get a free make over but I guess you have to call and make an appointment before you go in and purchase an item and I think that that's a con because there was only 2 other customers looking around the store and there was about 4 employees
