I have been wishing for quite some time now that there was a Sephora here in our country. I know every makeup junkie wishes that too. It seems to me that the owners of Sephora didn't notice that there's a tiny country in the world map called the Philippines that up to now they didn't even think of opening just one branch here. I'm sure, with the large number of Filipino migrants all over the world especially in the States, a good number of Filipino clients patronize the chains if not, the brand itself. So, Sephora, if you're reading this, please come to the Philippines and make us happy. But what/who is Sephora anyway?
Sephora is a chain of cosmetics stores founded in France in 1970 and acquired by Paris-based conglomerate Louis Vuitton • Moët Hennessy (LVMH) in 1997. The Sephora chain includes more than 750 stores in 17 countries. Carrying over 250 brands, including Sephora's own private label, the store offers cosmetic and beauty items that include makeup, skin care, fragrance, bath and body, hair product, and hair and make-up tools. (Source: Wikipedia) It's like our local Beauty Bar on steroids. hehehe. They carry products and cosmetics from most of the brands that I love, Benefit, Chanel, Tarte, Bobbi Brown, Illamasqua, Nars, Urban Decay (ok, I can't stop listing...) and of course the beloved Sephora Collection. My ultimate wish is to own the first Sephora here in the Philippines but I know it's close to impossible since I will be needing a whopping 2.5 million US dollars to begin with. But, hey who knows, I might close a good business deal with Bernard Arnault soon, eh?
