Sephora – here comes a cool fact! The name comes from the Greek word ‘sephos’ – meaning beauty and the name Zipporah, the beautiful wife of Moses. And, you must’ve been living under a rock if you have never heard Sephora, with 2,700 shops across the world, in 35 countries, it has even become a tourist attraction in some cities – it truly is world famous.

- Beauty Insider – sign up to their membership rewards program which features 3 levels depending on how much you spend a year; Beauty Insider, which is free. VIB, you have to spend at least $350 a year or Rouge, which means you have to spend at least $1000 a year.
