Oh, Sephora, how we love you. Any time we are within three feet of your glorious black and white striped entrance, a choir of angels sings. It's like paradise for the beauty-obsessed (myself included). Here are 10 things only people obsessed with Sephora will understand:
1. The feeling of joy when you first walk into the store and see all of the glorious products; it's like being a kid in a candy store!
2. Swatches galore!
There's nothing better than finding the perfect lipstick and swatching all of the colors you can find; reds, nudes, pinks, berries, the possibilities are endless, and you love having your arm striped with all colors of the rainbow.
3. You feel a sense of satisfaction when one of the makeup artists compliments your skin or makeup.
Winged liner on fleek!
4. You think it's gross when someone walks into Sephora and applies lipstick, mascara, etc. to their face straight from the tester.
Does she have any idea how much bacteria she's applying to her face? Other people have to use them! Disposable mascara wands were invented for a reason.
5. You could spend hours in Sephora just playing with makeup, and you're okay with that.
Hi, my name is (insert name here) and I have an unhealthy obsession with makeup, but that's totally okay.
6. You love it when you've racked up points on your Beauty Insider card and can spend them on awesome free samples of makeup, skincare, or fragrance.
7. The disappointment you feel when your fave product is out of stock or Sephora no longer carries it.
Why, Sephora, why?
8. You can't contain your excitement when you look down and see your basket full of product loveliness.
And you can't wait to go home and try them out. You love looking pretty!
9. You get anxious when the check out line goes on forever.
Come on, move it, people! It shouldn't take five hours to ring someone up at the register.
10. You feel like you've conquered the world when you walk out of Sephora with your bag of makeup in hand.
It's like candy for adults. Yay!
