Moeanderings…

Moe — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 18:45:00 EDT

Does anyone else feel like it's gotten to the point where "tinted moisturizer" is basically just "foundation" peddled under the same assumption that is supposed to lead me to believe my jean size is two? Yes that is a rhetorical question. But seriously, why is every skin-deuglifying treatment at Sephora these days suddenly either a "foundation alternative" or a "foundation faker" or some sort of $95 flesh-colored macrobiotic mineral-based non-toxic oxygen derivative? Who buys into this shit? (Ha ha also a rhetorical question.) More »

Beauty And The Beat: Ten Amazing Years, Less Than Amazing Clothes At Sephora

Sadie Stein — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 10:30:00 EDT

Can you believe our French beauty behemoth is already ten? Actually, yeah; it's hard to believe Sephora wasn't always around, letting the shameless amongst us doll up before events, gratis. I'm guessing most of the guests at last night's bday bash at NYC's Angel Orensanz Foundation — LiLo, Ashanti, Nicky Hilton, Natasha Bedingfield, and Charlotte Ronson, to name a few — can afford their own Stila. But money, as we all know, doesn't buy taste, and the delicious truth of this maxim is borne out, post perfumed jump. More »

The Dumbest, Most Pore-Cloggingly Ineffective Ways To Waste Your Money At Sephora

Moe — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 15:40:00 EDT

You know the old maxim, "To shop at Sephora is to waste hard-earned money on something at Sephora"? Well, no one wastes money at Sephora like a Sephora cast member wastes money at Sephora, and today, our undercover operative Jasmine is going to share with you some of the dumbest ways you can line the pockets of LVMH shareholders. It's a particularly thrilling time in the life of our spy, who was finally accepted into the elite "Science Of Sephora" training program and is sucking up more juicy counterintelligence to Alger Hiss with us buying public as we speak. In the meantime, she tackles exotic new hair removal tools, crap that claims to cure under-eye circles but really doesn't, skin bleaching, and those "inspiring" messages on all Philosophy products. (Who gets paid to write those goddamn things anyway?) All this and more after the jump. Questions? Comments? Email SephoraSpy@gmail.com. More »

How I Conquered My Cystic Acne, In (Just!) 17 Painful Steps

Moe — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 15:00:00 EST

Fighting acne is like fighting war. There is collateral damage. Things get worse before they get better. Whole villages of innocent, noncombatant pores stand in the line of our chemical weapons. And like war, fighting acne can be "controversial." Last week our Sephora Spy, Jasmine made an offhand comment about how acne can render a person "homeless," and some of you commenters declared mutiny. This week Jasmine is back to defend herself and what she feels is a just war on her adult onset cystic acne. It is, after all, her own experience with adult-onset cystic acne that launched her into the never-ending quest for a cosmetic cure and the accompanying lame retail job she works at to fund her, um, research. Because when it comes to the skin on your face, cysts aren't a shallow concern: They're deep. Really, really deep. (Which is pretty much also why they suck so hard.) More »

I Work Here To Feed My Sick Fancy Product Addiction; The Least I Can Do Is Help You

Moe — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 15:00:13 EST

Remember life before Sephora? When lipstick was lipstick and foundation didn't need to be "primed"? Well, ever since the the Berlin Wall fell, Pakistan developed nukes and "cosmeceuticals" joined the Oxford English Dictionary (okay, not really, but!) the world of beauty has been much more complicated and perilous to navigate. And that's why we brought in Sephora Spy, our double agent in your personal War On Ugly, to offer up beauty tips (and a few wild war stories.) This week she gives us some tactics for buying eyeshadow, weighs in on how dirty the testers really are, and shares the riskiest thing she ever did to get clear skin — and yes it was illegal! She shares all that and much more with commenter LoMorale after the jump. Questions? Comments? Email SephoraSpy@gmail.com! More »

There are some things in life that are just...

Jennifer — Thu, 09 Aug 2007 13:15:00 EDT

There are some things in life that are just plain wrong: Banana and mayonnaise sandwiches, sneakers with built-in rollerskates, the Bush administration. Add to that list talking eye shadow. Stila's latest product — offered exclusively through Sephora, natch — includes a recording of a make-up artist explaining how to create the perfect smoky eye. For $38. Cheapskates, of course, can just go to Sephora, ask for advice, and get their eyeshadow applied for free. [NYTimes] More »
