Sephora in Australia (rant I meant to post like 5 months ago)

    So this was meant to be a bit more of an analysis which is why I held back on this mostly finished post, but it's been a while, I kind of can't be arsed to care about Sephora anymore and if I'm going to write anything more, it would make more sense to me to just write a new post so here is a slightly outdated Sephora in Australia post. (It's also good for breaking up the litany of empties *sigh*)

[A few things that have changed:
- the Australian dollar dropped dropped to below $US0.70 today, a 6 year low, which again makes prices in Australia seem better
- Sephora will be opening a second store in Maquarie shopping centre this month, so if you live on the north shore but didn't already hear about this, now you know (I hear they're planning on opening Melbourne ones soon but I don't know when)
- I checked on the Bite Beauty pencil again 3 months after my first visit and it was ~$30 so I may have actually remembered that incorrectly but that's still a high price (but bite beauty was never cheap so)
- it's now been almost a year and the other prices haven't changed
- although they now have a website, it's not an online store, the Australian website doesn't even have a catalogue, just the brand names available (wait quick check shows they now have some products listed)
- they do now have the ABH contour palettes and they have brought the Kat Von d shadelight eye palette in (slightly faster than the above) ]

Oh and as an aside to Sydney-siders who want Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics lip tars and pencils, they're available at Scotty's makeup and beauty store next to Broadway shopping centre for $2 cheaper.

Oh look a post that’s not a review/empties, how strange!

    So the Sydney Sephora store opened on the 5^th of December 2014 and it was causing a buzz before and after that. And I figured I’d put my thoughts on that on my blog, because what else are blogs for?

    To start off with when people caught wind of the news that Sephora was planning on opening a store Down Under (and another couple more after that) consumers were excited and it only got bigger when Sephora claimed to be bringing US pricing to Australia.

(and of course Sydney-siders let out a cheer when it turned out that the new Sephora store would be in Sydney not Melbourne but anyway)
