Among the few true beauty behemoths out there, Sephora is a giant. What makes its magnitude that much more impressive is just how quickly it has achieved super-sized status: The French-born chain opened its first U.S. outpost in New York circa 1998. While the Big Apple already boasts 15 Sephora outposts, we’re always ready to [...]
