We reveal the downside to Sephora's best selling beauty products

I can't stand Kat Von D so I will never purchase her products!

I love Sephora especially their lipliners.

Always have loved Sephora! Absolutely obsessed with the Naked palettes. I know they get a bit of flack but I really do love 1, 2 and 3.

Naked palette 1 has very soft matte neutrals the shade virgin is great for under eyebrow highlight and great inner corner highlight as well. Half baked is a beautiful soft light gold shimmer that really brightens up an eye look - smokey golden eye look also goes well with the smog, naked and dark horse shades in this palette. These are all very pigmented and if you used an eyeshadow base it really does last. The three darkest colours in this palette dark horse, hustle and creep all are great for different smokey eye looks. There are both cool and warm tones in this palette to again create diverse looks.

Naked palette 2 is potentially my least favourite out of the three, but still has my favourite gold colour half baked as well as a gorgeous purple shade busted that makes for a flattering eye look for people with blue eyes such as myself. The shade busted goes well with hustle from Naked palette 1 as well. This palette has some more cool tones then the last palette and has a much darker shade blackout which is again amazing for smokey eyes or even as a liner if you wet a thin brush and dip into this shade you can make a very gorgeous eye liner and even a smoked out liner. The shade bootycall is similar to the virgin shade but more matte and is also great as a highlight under your eyebrows.

Naked 3 is potentially my favourite because I love pinks and subtle pinks as well as rose gold. This is the perfect girls night out palette with a girly pink flair and only warm colours. The shade strange is a perfect base colour to start an eye look especially a warm eye look. Very flattering to all eye colours. There is such a range from light to dark pink and brown colours in this palette.

I am a huge fan of Sephora. I like their own home brand, the blush was very good quality and reasonably priced. I have tried their home brand hand cream which was also very good moisturizing and had a lovely scent and fun packaging. I have been on a mini spree at sephora lately. I actually learnt about Sephora many many years ago when it wasn't even in Australia yet and I often dream of going to new York to see the sights but one of my stops between sight seeing would be a a shopping trip at sephora since i am a makeup addict and i visit a makeup store in any town and country I visit but then I found out they were coming to Australia i was so excited.now i can get all them brands i like from USA and i like their home brand products too.

Like many others have commented here, Sephora Australia has been quite a disappointment for me. I've bought a few things from the online store during the big sales, and I quite like some of the Sephora branded makeup products but not enough to motivate me to shop with them more regularly. I don't have a Sephora store in my city.

Their range of Tarte products is limited enough (no Shape Tape, really??) that I just buy directly from the Tarte website instead. I just wish I could do the same for IT Cosmetics.

I would love to get my hands on any Urban Decay palettes. They all look so amazing. I have to admit that most of my browsing and Wish Lists have been with Mecca not Sephora.

Very interesting article. Love reading things like these. Beauty heaven has some really great informative articles. need to do a maekup haul

Never been to sephora - I'm less into makeup these days.

no, never heard of it!

I can not wait to go to Sephora. I have been waiting for so long. I love love the contour kit by Anastasia Beverly Hills, I already have one but its running out. Definitely purchasing another one soon!

I would love to get to a Sephora store one day.

I don't much about this brand but it loos wonderfully exciting

I bought the gold colored handled sephora brush set on line. Cost me like 48 American dollars but it gave no instruction as to which brush was for blending foundation, eyeshadow etc it would have been a help. I would love to use them do will try by trial & error & see what works.

I was expecting to spend heaps of money with Sephora when they opened here, but I assumed that they would have an online store. I hope that Sephora management reconsiders and allows us to buy their products online.

Sounds like the 7th gives me a reason to visit the Sydney CBD store. My cannot live without product is mascara. Always looking for a new one and Sephora stock several I would like to try.

Sounds good, I have not vosited a Sephora store

My partner is currently in the USA and I have sent him off with a list for Sephora hahaha!

Sephora is too overpriced here, I was only excited because of the affordability of it overseas!

I wish that Sephora would open an online store. I never go to Sydney - I live 6 hours away. It's really annoying. They could be making so much money if they were online.

I brought 2 lipsticks a facemask and a little eyeshadow palette from sephora and I love the lipsticks and palette

I have to agree that I love neutral pallets (only bringing out dark metallic for evening times). I would happily get my hands on any of these eyeshadows however I particularly like Urban Decay :D

I have not seen Seohora products yet

I love my Naked palette, not at all surprised that it's on the list!

OMG SEPHORA IN MELBOURNE!!!

I've heard so many crappy things about Sephora that I'm not even interested in them coming to Brisbane anymore. Got mecca and I'm happy with them.
