Compare beauty assortments intended for US shoppers

Sephora, Nordstrom and Bluemercury provide access to American makeup, skincare and fragrance selections. Familiar brands may offer different shades, sizes or sets there. Identify the exact reference and intended store before travelling, because the online assortment does not establish that every branch has the same stock or provides identical consultation services at its counters.

Read the conditions of the market where you purchase

Check the final amount and return terms when buying, taking the destination and seller into account. Regulatory categories or product presentation may differ from those familiar in Europe. Keep the directions and ingredient list for the particular item purchased, especially when trying a US formula for the first time rather than replacing a known local reference.
