Sephora Malaysia opens their 5th store at Sunway Pyramid (and a new brand comes to town)

October 19, 2013 Paris B 43 Comments

Does anyone remember the excitement and the hubbub when Sephora Malaysia opened their first store at Starhill Gallery 2 years ago? I took you on a little store tour after braving myself to step in for a look. Since then, another 3 stores have popped up at KLCC, Gurney Paragon Mall Penang and Paradigm Mall. Well, beauty buffs in the Subang, USJ and Sunway suburbs, you now have a Sephora store right at your doorstep! No more having to trundle down town to KL City to pick up your favourite beauty goodies!

Sephora Sunway Pyramid opens its doors today (19th October, 2013) but I was privileged to have a preview of what there is on offer. The store is quite large and is stocked with all the brands that you find at the other Sephora stores. This means that when the Christmas collections hit the stores (they aren’t out yet when I was there) you don’t have to rush down to the city anymore. Just head down to Sunway Pyramid.

Oh and you did know that Tarte Cosmetics is coming to Sephora Malaysia right? I just found out from The Sun Daily newspaper 2 days ago and yesterday, spoke to the Beauty & Lifestyle editor about it. I’m excited about it because it’s one of the quieter, more underrated brands that I discovered and was using in the past few years and I do like what I’ve tried so far. Expect it in store from mid November onwards 🙂 Gosh, we beauty mavens in Malaysia sure have been spoilt silly in these 2 years yes? 😀

I’ve got some pictures of the Sephora Sunway Pyramid store preview so if you like, take a look and feel free to caption some of the more amusing ones 😉

Hmm no, Sephora isn’t selling Ferraris just yet. I’m not sure how many UD Naked palettes you have to buy to qualify for one of these though LOL!

Oh this was another creepy model shot for what was termed an avant-garde fashion show. Hmm… all I could think of was “Stop touching my face!”

What’s a visit to Sephora without gawking at some beauties and my eyes were almost immediately drawn to this beautiful palette of the new Dior blushes! I was very taken with just how different the colours looked from your regular pinks and peaches. I mean, look they have a lilac blush! How cool is that 🙂 And since I was there at the store, and I had this before me, I’m afraid I caved and indulged in one. Just one! Want to hazard a guess which I picked? 😉

I think they’re having some fun things going on in store in conjunction with their opening so if you are a loose end this weekend, and are in the area, stop by and have a look!

Now you tell me – are you excited about this new Sephora store? Does Tarte Cosmetics’ appearance make you happy?

Sunway Pyramid is almost halfway across the state for me to get to, so no it’s not my closest Sephora store. That’d be the 2 in the city with my personal preference lying with Sephora at Starhill Gallery because I like the architecture and the round structure and smaller floor space. That said, I don’t go into the city very much these days so I haven’t been to a Sephora store in months! As for Tarte, you bet I’m bouncing in my seat with glee – man! It’s about time! 😀

    Tarte! Love their Amazonian Clay blush. 🙂

    And walking into Sephora does that to me all the time. Random impulse purchases. The husband got used to it and he always expects me to buy something, even if I say I’m just here to browse. LOL.

      Yay! Me too Sze Ling – so jealous that you have access to them readily, and the sales! AHHH 😛 To be honest, this is only my 2nd purchase from Sephora from all the many times I’ve stepped in. I usually reserve my department store brands for purchase at Isetan so I maximise my point collection and thus far, nothing much has caught my eye from the Sephora-only brands. It might change with Tarte though 😛

      It will be sold at Sephora stores. I’m not sure if they’re launching them into all the Sephora stores immediately or if they may start with the ones in the city first.

    Gosh! They need to bring it to Singapore too! If our UD counter can rack up sales equivalent to the main UD counter in Paris, I don’t see why Tarte has to miss us!

    Love their holiday palettes. Those are always the best.

    I only have a couple of Tarts Amazonian Clay blushes, a couple of lipglosses here and there. =( I want the Lipsurgence.

      From what I hear, Tarte will be in Singapore too, probably a week or two earlier or about the same time 😀 So shop away! I did hear that there is a significant mark up in Singaporean prices, although I can’t confirm it. I’m expecting a similar mark up here too. To be expected in many ways, but hey, always good to have instant gratification eh?

          I agree! The large sets are very tempting but I’m not so keen on them because of the size and I’m concerned about quality, but the singular items have impressed me so far especially the powder shadows and blushes 🙂

    I went to Sunway Pyramid a couple of weeks ago and my jaw dropped when I realize Sephora is opening its store there. I believed my heart actually stopped pumping for a second and my heart was shaking out of excitement. It is so much convenience for me to indulge now!

    And yay for Tarte! Can’t wait to get my hands on one of those blushers. Luckily I managed to control myself from buying a blusher last week. Self control does come in handy 😉

    The moment I saw the display for Sephora in Sunway Pyramid my heart stopped, but not because for any obvious reasons. I practically grew up in Sunway Pyramid, and now I’ve no longer any reason to leave it’s embrace for ANYTHING at all! They’re even opening another H&M store in the new wing!

    OMG Tarte! I’ve been curious about the brand ever since I got the Jewelry Box palette (which is still going strong) and am highly curious about the Amazonian Clay blushes!

      Haha soon you’ll never have to ever come into the city, eh Hanny? 😉 I used to live in USJ and you know, I never went into Sunway much because of the damned traffic LOL But it wasn’t as good as it is now either. I’m looking forward to Tarte’s arrival too, and especially that blush palette they have out for Christmas – I hope it isn’t too pricey!

      I know Juan! I went there and got lost (as usual) couldn’t find my car (as usual) and the drive back was so long I almost fell asleep so no more trips to SP 😛 If this was the Chinese 7th (ghost) month, I’d be totally freaked out by that picture you know 😛 I haven’t been to the one in Paradigm Mall (don’t even know where it is even :P) but I”m sure it’s all the same la – it’s a chain store!

    I haven’t been attracted to Tarte yet but I guess this is a good time to try. Only last night I was in Sephora Paradigm Mall to check whether the new MUFE brushes have hit town. Sadly no. I’m now wondering whether they will arrive in time for Christmas or I have to order from the US.

    • Paris B says

      October 20, 2013 at 4:07 pm

      I happened to meet someone from MUFE and I asked about the new artisan brushes but there’s no news just yet so if you want them it’d be best that you order them directly. There’s going to be a bit of a shake up locally so we’ll have to give the brand a little time to settle down before it’s business as usual again. I’m hoping they pick themselves up. It’s sad to see a good brand not get the recognition it deserves.

    This is the smallest Sephora store and they don’t even have NYX! Even the prices of makeup and skincare imported from western countries have gone up.

    • Paris B says

      October 20, 2013 at 4:10 pm

      Actually I thought the one at Starhill is smaller 🙂 This one is narrow but long and I thought they fit a lot in there, despite the space constraint. From recollection, there was a very large nail bar, which surprised me. Maybe they’ll slip in NYX once they settle in. I have noticed a price increase in some brands too but I think it’s to do with the global price increase and exchange rates.

    When I saw your Instagram on Tarte makeup coming to Sephora, I was so thrilled :-). Love the their blushes and hope to get at least one into my collection. Is the new Dior blushes any different from the older ones? Been trying to read reviews about it from the internet but could not find many. I wonder if you bought the Lilac one…LOL.

    Reply
    • Paris B says

      October 21, 2013 at 11:40 am

      Well the old Dior blushes come in a split pan of colour. One side matte, one side with a bit of shimmer so you can mix and match. The new ones are just one colour and have more vibrant colour on skin. I think it’s too new for there to be many reviews and it’s also permanent so there seems to be less interest for people to review permanent items. I never understand why LOL! I am testing them out and will report back once I have a view on them (and no, it wasn’t the lilac one, interesting though it was! LOL!)

      I think it would be more of a convenience since the SP store will serve the Subang/Sunway suburb 😉 Having lived there a long time ago, I used to wish I didn’t have to go down to the city centre just to get stuff. Pity I gave up and upped sticks to the city to make life easier LOL! 😉
