As always, Sephora has you covered when it comes to the gifties this season - I'm loving the can't miss treats from Make Up for Ever (Aqua Eyes are the the smoothest eye liners ever!), Tarte (the cutest lip glosses, yes, ever), Shu (who wouldn't love the luxe Gold Eyelash Curler in their stocking?), Lancome (Juicy Tubes are a staple IMHO) and of course, Korres (the set above is perfect for your Secret Santa.)
And in case you aren't blessed like I am (there's a store across the street from my office), you CAN still order online and get your goodies in time for the holidays - in fact, they're now upgrading shipping to 2 Day for FREE.
Just order by tomorrow and enter code UPS2DAY at checkout to make sure that pressies arrive by Christmas.
Sephora's NEW Eye Studio experience aims to get your peepers in perfect form. The Studios, located in three key Sephora locations (Times Square in New York, The Venetian in Las Vegas and Powell Street in San Francisco), offer free makeup consultations and teach professional-level application techniques including:
Fast Faux Lashes - Step by step instruction on applying faux lashes
Learn the Look - Need help on mastering the Natural Eye, the Cat Eye, the Smoky Eye or a seasonal look like the Violet Eye (perfect for fall and holiday!)? If so, this one is for you! You'll even take home a simple-to-understand face chart that maps out key colors and applications (click through the gallery for a peek at my Natural look!)
Play Up Your True Color - Sephora's licensed color experts will teach you how to play up your natural, gorgeous eye color - be it brown, hazel, blue or green.
Raise Your Eye-Q - Learn tricks of the trade for highlighter, mascara, concealer, etc.!
ALL Eye Studio services are FREE with no purchase required, but if you want to take home the tools used to create your look, Sephora has created three limited edition sets. Packaged in signature clear makeup bags and available for just $49 (a savings of about $10 per kit), you can take home products to create the perfect Cat, Natural or Smoky Eye. Click through the pics to see the contents of my Natural Eye Kit, including versatile products from Smashbox, Stila and Make Up For Ever.
For an Eye Studio appointment, visit the Times Square, Venetian or Powell Street Sephora locations! If you're not in NYC, SF or LV, hold tight - the Eye Studio concept will be coming soon to a city near you.
