1. The Most Expensive Products Are at Eye Level

It shouldn't be surprising that Sephora, like any other store in the world, is looking to make as much money as possible. That's why they keep their most expensive products at eye level, so that they're the first thing that you see when you're browsing. So if you're looking for makeup that's actually affordable, make sure to look on the lower shelves. They'll contain the cheaper products.

2. You Can Benefit from a Sale Two Weeks Later

If an item goes on sale two weeks after you buy it, you can get a refund for the difference. That means you don't have to beat yourself up when you spend half of your paycheck on a palette, only to find out that it went on sale a few days later. All you have to do is return to the store with your receipt, and they'll refund the difference, so you can benefit from the sale like everybody else.

3. They Give Complimentary Makeovers

If you spend over $50 in the store at once, you're eligible for a complimentary makeover. Make sure you ask the workers about it the next time you go on a spending spree. You don't want to miss out on something fun and free. If you commonly spend that much money there, then you could also sign up for their reward's card, because it'll end up saving you money in the future.

4. Their Website Gives Good Deals

You don't see many deals in the Sephora stores, but there are always plenty of them on their website. There's an entire page called "sale" where you can easily see what's been priced down. Plus, you get three free samples with every online purchase. You can't beat that!

"Enhancing your beauty doesn't always mean going for the glossy look. More ladies now see the allure of a shine-free finish. With the right tools and techniques, you can also achieve a flawless, subtle glow. Learn how to master this trend by following these incredible matte makeup tutorials. Enhance your natural complexion without the unnecessary flash."

5. The Workers Don't Care if You Wear Makeup

Don't feel inferior when you step into Sephora, all because you forget to wear makeup that day. The workers don’t care if you have no makeup on. In fact, it actually makes it easier for them to recommend products for you, because they can see what your face looks like.

6. They Give Samples

Sephora is actually pretty generous. If you see a specific product that you like, you can ask for samples of it. Most of the time, you'll be able to get one. Just don't get carried away. You don't want to be rude and take more than your fair share every time you walk through the doors.

7. They Have a Good Return Policy

Sephora is sweet when it comes to their return policy. Even if you've lost your receipt, you can usually return a product without it as long as you have your ID on you. Even though their prices can get a bit high, they aren't looking to hurt their customers.

We all know that Sephora is the go-to place for all of our makeup needs. Whatever we're looking for, they're guaranteed to have. What other secrets do you know about the store?

Who doesn't love Sephora?

I don't know of Sephora EVER having a sale!?!? I wish they did!

I just bought FX Cover Contour from Sephora. What I don't like is the make up artist don't teach you on how to put it on.

Love Sephora.

I don't know about US Sephora, but in Canada sephora's return policy has been changed since July 1st. Customers can only return products within 30 days with recipe.

Great article!

Sephora does have sales.......Ulta is cheaper than sephora and just as good.

Too expensive for me

There is only an online Sephora in my geographic region, here we have Ulta.

There used to be a sephora in London but no more so get very excited when I visit new York to stock up yipeee
