It'll be a beauty blowout today when ultra-hip cosmetic franchise Sephora finally opens the doors to its new Pacific Centre and Coquitlam Centre locations.
"We're a little scared," admitted Sephora makeup pro Nathalie Bechard about the anticipation that's surrounded the conglomerate's first Vancouver appearance. "I think Vancouver's been waiting so long. People are going to be excited."
With more than 5,000 square feet dedicat-ed
to 13,000 high-end beauty products, there's a lot for cosmetics enthusiasts to be excited about. Besides brand favourites such as NARS, Philosophy, and Bliss, exclusive lines such as Girlactik (which did Halle Berry's makeup for her Oscar win) and Lorac (Nicole Kidman's favourite) are making their Vancouver debut.
Sephora is one of the largest retail beauty chains on the globe. It's owned by Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton, the world's leading luxury products group, and boasts locations across Europe, North America, the Middle East, and China.
The store also carries a plethora of beauty accessories for both men and women.
"There's something for everyone," Bechard said. "We have everything - from fragrance to hair care, skin care in the back..."
And guys, don't be shy. If you want to try out some lipstick or mascara, no one will blink.
"Makeup is for everyone," Bechard asserted. "That what we really want people to know."
