You don’t leave without swatches
Correction: You don't leave the store without a mountain of swatches on your hand.

A new lipstick? Why not.

A Sephora addict’s struggle is like no other.

Mention Sephora and the first image that comes to our minds is that of a makeup heaven. A true addict knows the iconic store to be a place where she is able to enter and forget her worries. Sounds dramatic? Recall the times you went into Sephora, not wanting anything in particular but only with the intention to browse. And instead of a casual 10 minutes browse, you end up staying in the store an hour instead. The word ‘browse’ equates to walking through each aisle, looking at the new displays and leaving with an armful of swatches.

Speaking of browsing, a true Sephora addict knows each aisle inside and out. If she’s looking for a foundation, she is able to maneuver her way through the crowd as easy as it is to change a pair of batteries.

Head over to the gallery up top for a round up of 10 more beauty truths every Sephora addict will be able to relate to. From lining up for sales to being the first in line for a new product launch, being an addict sure is hard work. It takes skills and we’ve got them.
