Sephora Opening Soon At The Avenues II


Beauty Junkies rejoice! The famous retailer of perfumes and cosmetics and the leading beauty chain in Europe and US, Sephora, will be opening soon at The Avenues Phase II. Personally, I like Sephora not only because of its tempting cosmetic selection, but mainly because I don't feel pressured by sales associates to buy stuff that I don't really need. I can actually touch and try the products without having the sales associate stalking me around and giving me some unnecessary comments about my skin/make-up.

I think Sephora will make it big here if it sells its high-end cosmetics which are unavailable at other beauty stores/pharmacies in Kuwait. Does anyone have any product recommendations or favorites?

I'm sure they will have annoying sales ladies as almost every other store in Kuwait does.

I love pretty much all their lip plumpers and their Go Smile teeth whitening travel kits. That's pretty much all I get every time I go into Sephora.

For men, I recommend Shiseodo Men, or Estee Lauder (they don't have a mens' line, but we can still use it :-D)

And I'm a bit stunned on your "Sephora people don't hassle you in the store or make commints on your skin...."!!!!!
the ones in Jeddah certainly do :-)

I am a Paris Gallery person myself - I prefer them to Sephora thank you very much. It's a shame Paris Gallery's still not got a retail presence here in a cosmetics and perfume crazed Kuwait.

I agree with alot of the comments already posted. Sephora in the middle east so far has been quite the disappointment. sales clerks hover over you like there's no tomorrow and they try to sell you a billion and one things.
Also, the products over here in Bahrain are quite limited (same in Dubai). they still haven't gotten the philosophy products, bare minerals, armani, tarte, or any of the things that sephora is really well known for over in the states.
But hey, who knows, maybe the one in kuwait will be different (fingers crossed).

Ahh..you poor girls! I do agree with the Paris Sephora shopper because of one major reason..Some products are available in Paris (have an Armani make-over while you're there!) that are not yet allowed into the USA, thanks to our ever so careful FDA. I bought Armani products in Paris (in September, 2000) that are only now being imported to the USA. I know it goes the other way too, but mostly I just want to hope that it opens with utmost haste for all of you in Kuwait who are waiting for your shopping to get fun!! God Bless all of you!

Saks In Bahrain

I went to Saks Fifth Avenue store in Bahrain. The two-level store is located in City Centre Mall and has a collection of American and international clothes designers for Men and Women as well as jewelry, accessories, handbags, fragrances, cosmetics, intimate apparel, bridal, and children's apparel. However, I was slightly disappointed by the small selection, maybe because all items were on sale? Or the number and variety of brands were limited? Anyhow, my favourite section at Saks - Bahrain was Saks's world-famous 10022-SHOE salon (shown in the photo below). It had the same look & feel of the NY's shoe salon but of course not the same space. The Shoe Salon had really nice selection and they were all on sale! I have been told by Saks Sales Assistant that they will be hosting numerous special events throughout the year such as fashion shows and personal appearances by designers. Now that's something I'd be interested in! In addition, they currently offer in-st

The sale will showcase clothes and accessories from Spring/Summer 2008 collection and some going back to Fall 2007 collection (and even older).
