Yes, we know, a big part of being a beauty junkie is the thrill of experiencing the above at the store. The beauty stores know this and have come up with alternatives for you.

Sephora too, has come up with creative ways to make your in-store shopping experience enjoyable and safe. When you’re inside the store, you can use their Scan to Interact feature on Sephora’s mobile app (available on the App Store or Google Play). Scan the product’s barcode or a QR code in that area of the store, to bring up product information and reviews.
