One stop shop for cosmetics in the US

(0) Hearts
Hello Beauty Insiders! I will be traveling to the US next weekend and I am interested in purchasing some makeup brands that are not available in Canada. Can someone recommend a "one stop shop" for brands like e.l.f., Sonia Kashuk, Jane Iredale, Sigma, etc.. I guess any brands that you love but aren't sold at Sephora. Thank you all!

Re: One stop shop for cosmetics in the US

For a variety of drug store brands selection, try Ulta.  But if the plans are more rural (or no Ultas near by), Target tends to be a good option (e.l.f. and Sonia Kashuk).

 

Keep in mind selection varies depending on the store and region in the US. Same goes with cleanliness of the store. 

 

Another way to figure out what store to visit it to visit the brand's official site and see if they have a store locator page. Find the one store that seems to be commonly listed under search results for your favorite brands.

 

For more high end and/or luxury brands, Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Neiman Marcus (I think this was recently changed but NM used to only accept cash, check, or American Express in stores.  Limited payment options).  Nordstrom has Jane Iredale and usually has reputable customer service despite location. 

 

As for sigma, their website is probably the best place to find those. 

 

Hope that helps.

Target would be a good place for Sonia Kashuk and E.L.F but I am unsure where to find the other bands.

You can get e.l.f and sonia kashuk at Target. I don't think Sigma is sold anywhere but online and I have no idea where you would find Jane Iredale. I think Target is one of your best bets for non-Sephora beauty brands.
