Hola, my little isla bonitas. Ever since news broke on Twitter a few weeks ago of Sephora’s intention to carry Illamasqua cosmetics at select stores nationwide, I’ve been trying to confirm the list of *exact* stores.
Here’s the list!
Of note — a contact at Illamasqua informed me of a change to the news as it was originally reported. The line will now be carried in 25 (not 27) U.S. Sephora stores, with the rollout taking place from mid-September through mid-October.
California
- Fashion Valley, San Diego
- Hollywood and Highland, Hollywood
- Manhattan Village, Manhattan Beach
- Powell Street, San Francisco
- Santa Monica, Santa Monica
- South Coast Plaza, Costa Mesa
District of Columbia
- Georgetown, Washington D.C.
Florida
- Boca Town Center, Boca Raton
- Dadeland, Miami
- Florida Mall, Orlando
- South Beach, Miami
Georgia
- Lenox Square, Atlanta
Hawaii
- Ala Moana, Honolulu
Massachusetts
- Prudential Center, Boston
Nevada
- Venetian Resort & Hotel, Las Vegas
New York
- 34th Street, New York City
- Fifth Avenue, New York City
- 711 Lexington, New York City
- 76th and Broadway, New York City
- Roosevelt Field, New York City
- SOHO, New York City
- Times Square, New York City
- Union Square, New York City
- Westchester, White Plains
Washington

Psyched much? I am. Powell Street, here I come! 🙂
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

Karen says
August 6th, 2009 at 9:01 amHi Evo,
Aww, bummer. Well, on the bright side at least now you’ve got a lot of time to build and refine your wish list. 🙂
Vampy Varnish says
August 6th, 2009 at 8:58 amHmm I’m thinking of skipping the Powell Street store and going directly to Honolulu 🙂

Karen says
August 6th, 2009 at 9:00 amHi Vampy Varnish,
Let’s do that! Hawaii, here we come (I wish!). I’d do anything to get a real summer at this point.
At least it’s not raining today!
Glosslizard says
August 6th, 2009 at 9:00 amWoot! I’m going to be doing the Powell Street shuffle! 😀
Karen says
August 6th, 2009 at 9:04 amHi Glosslizard,
It’s so exciting. I might have to break my Sephora “only buy what you can carry in your palms” rule for this one.
Tavia says
August 6th, 2009 at 9:01 amYou girls that live in the US are so lucky. Did you know that?

Karen says
August 6th, 2009 at 9:02 amHi Tavia,
We’ve been waiting a long time for this! Hopefully Illamasqua will be in your neck of the woods soon.
Maggie says

Aww! Well, at least there’s always Sephora online. 🙂
Marce says
August 6th, 2009 at 9:26 amBe afraid MAC! LOL Well, I guess most of you lucky ladies will now have access to this pretty awesome brand! 🙂

Karen says
August 6th, 2009 at 10:37 amHi Marce,
Hopefully the brand will make it out your way soon. 🙂
Jacks says
August 6th, 2009 at 9:26 amOMG YES Illamasqua is setting up shop in Seattle (the closest US Sephora to me)! I’ll be sure to take a road trip come September/October! Thanks for posting this list Karen!
Karen says
August 6th, 2009 at 10:36 amHi Jacks,
You’re welcome! Have fun playing. 🙂
Patti says
August 6th, 2009 at 9:47 amSomehow I knew they weren’t going to have it here in Pennsylvania, oh well I guess that’s good news for my checkbook then
Karen says
August 6th, 2009 at 10:35 amHi Patti,
Sephora has the line available for purchase on their website, too. 🙂
Alexis says
August 6th, 2009 at 9:52 amThanks for the information… guess I’ll have to take a trip to downtown Atlanta to check things out :).
Karen says
August 6th, 2009 at 10:34 amHi Alexis,
Sure! The stores will start carrying ’em mid-September, so you might have to wait a few weeks. But it’ll be there soon enough!
kailey says
August 6th, 2009 at 9:58 amsouth coast plaza!!!!!!!!! yes!!!!!!
😀
Karen says
August 6th, 2009 at 10:33 amHi Kailey,
🙂 Exciting, isn’t it?
Tiffany says
August 6th, 2009 at 10:21 amYAY! I’m so glad my Sephora is on the list! thanks for sharing the news, Karen!
Karen says
August 6th, 2009 at 10:32 amHi Tiffany,
Sweet! I hope you get to check out the line soon. Make a beeline for the cream shadows. 🙂
Misti says
August 6th, 2009 at 11:08 amOnly *ONE* store anywhere in the South. *ONE*!!!! And not even any in Texas?!?!?!?
GAHHH!! So angry at Sephora right now!!!
Jenna says
August 6th, 2009 at 11:13 amI am VERY glad New England gets at least one Sephora with this line!
kailey says
August 6th, 2009 at 11:47 amIt’s majorly unfair that new York city gets like 10 stores tho :(((
and of course they get it after I go to the times square sephora.
Marlo says
August 6th, 2009 at 11:52 amFashion Valley~ Wooo! 😀 I had a feeling they’d carry it there. I can’t wait to go test the line.
Christa says
August 6th, 2009 at 12:07 pmAh, I knew it would be in the Pru. Finally somebody thinks of Boston as a major city! 😛
I sure wish they’d restock what’s online. I’ve been waiting for a serious haul when they finally get everything in stock.
Tami says
August 6th, 2009 at 12:22 pmWow, none in Illinois. That sucks!:(
Vampy Varnish says
August 6th, 2009 at 12:29 pmThat’s the thing about the Bay Area, by the time Sept comes around I am ready for sweaters and boots like the rest of the country, but noooo, its boiling hot here until end of October.

Jenny says
August 6th, 2009 at 1:01 pmAhh! Thank you for posting this Karen! Venetian it is! 🙂
Karen says
August 6th, 2009 at 1:38 pmHi Jenny,
You’re welcome!
Woo hoo, Vegas baby. I’ll be there in October. 🙂
Lauren says
August 6th, 2009 at 1:18 pmBoo, none even close to me!
Karen says
August 6th, 2009 at 1:38 pmHi Lauren,
Aww, that’s too bad. Well, there’s always the online store. 🙂
Anastasia says
August 6th, 2009 at 1:59 pmI asked last week at the Lenox Mall store and they had no idea what I was talking about. I guess they don’t read makeup and beauty blogs (or even their own Sephora blog!)
Karen says
August 6th, 2009 at 3:09 pmHi Anastasia,
Yeah, I called a few New York stores when the news broke about it coming here to the US and NOBODY knew what I was talking about. They were all “Illa-massss-wha?!?”
Patti says
August 6th, 2009 at 2:22 pmHi Karen,
Do you know if they have plans of increasing the the number of Sephora stores that will carry it?
Karen says
August 6th, 2009 at 3:07 pmHi Patti,
Nope, I haven’t heard anything in that regard. I’m guessing they’ll decide after seeing how well the brand does at these stores. Let’s keep our fingers crossed. 🙂
Wendy says
August 6th, 2009 at 4:22 pmThanks karen! Youre like my secret makeup informer Yay for San Diego because some companies like Shu Uemura (that I adore) Overlook us because of our proximity to LA but yay again.
angie says
August 6th, 2009 at 7:43 pm11 sephoras in ohio and not one carrying illasmasqua!!! booo sephora!
Fabienne says
August 6th, 2009 at 8:21 pmHey Karen,
Thanks for the update! I’m happy Powell will carry it, I would’ve been so upset if it didn’t!
Karen says
August 7th, 2009 at 7:01 amHi Fabienne,
You and me both, homie. I can’t WAIT to just sit there and play!
Kat says
August 6th, 2009 at 9:01 pmSo sad that no one in Texas will carry it…oh well I save up for no reason….I have to see it before I buy….so no online ordering either. 🙁
Karen says
August 7th, 2009 at 6:59 amHi Kat,
I hear you. I like to try stuff before I buy it, too. Sephora has a pretty good return policy though.
Lily says
August 6th, 2009 at 9:39 pmsweeet the georgetown store is right across from where I work.
and I’m considering applying at that sephora aaha.
Karen says
August 7th, 2009 at 6:59 amHi Lily,
That would be awesome if you got the job. Employee discount!
Connie says
August 6th, 2009 at 11:20 pmI’m sooo bummed not one in texas. We have more sephoras than any other state. Why = (
Karen says
August 7th, 2009 at 6:55 amHi Connie,
Wow, that’s a fun piece of makeup trivia!
It’s kind of a surprise Sephora decided not to roll out out there, though. Hopefully in the future your state will get one soon.
Apple Diva says
August 7th, 2009 at 2:04 pm@Karen, I need to swatch…you know the deal!
