Today was the grand opening of Sephora, a beauty chain founded in France that has intense, eye-catching makeup colors similar to M.A.C. Christina found this store last year while she was in Arizona visiting a friend and then again in Miami. She has been dancing in her pants every since she found out we were getting one at our mall this spring. SOOOO of course we needed to play hooky and hit the opening day and it paid off BIG. She was fortunate enough to get a time slot with Emily Massa, a make-up artist on Sephora’s Pro Beauty Team. She was in from Chicago to help with the opening day only and was doing make-up consultations. Christina was able to get a total makeover, ask questions for her skin type, eye color & shape, and learn day & night techniques. 
As a bonus she found out about the schooling Emily had gone through and the fact that her job (playing with make-up, what girl wouldn’t love that) now takes her traveling across the world! She was originally from New Orleans, too. They hit it off great and Emily was a wonderful help. The way the artists teach at Sephora is that they makeover one side of your face and you follow along on the other side; I find that much more helpful than other places doing it all for you and you forgetting by the time you get home.
more practice when we got home...

Beautiful!
I didn't know Sephora was coming to BR. Although I wouldn't know these things. I avoid the mall like the plague.
Although I'm SUPER excited about Pottery Barn! If only we'd get a Crate and Barrel, my life would be perfect! (Okay, perhaps not, but I can dream.)
