As homecoming is approaching, one of the main things the ladies look forward to is getting all glammed up for the dance. The big question is: do the St. Dominic students prefer Sephora products or Ulta products?
One of the main differences between the two is that Sephora seems to have more of the “high end” products, compared to the more “drug store” products that Ulta supplies. Sephora offers over 340 different makeup and skin care brands. Ulta beats Sephora by offering over 600 different makeup and skincare brands.
“I prefer Sephora because they have more popular and better products compared to Ulta, which has the less popular products”, junior Pear Mishra said.
Some students seem to prefer Ulta due to the services that they provide. At Ulta you can get your hair done, get a full makeup service, and ear piercings. Sephora can get your full glam done, but that is all. Ultimately, Ulta beats Sephora in the service aspects.
“I like Ulta more since they provide hair services.You can also buy so many more hair products and hair tools, compared to what you can get at Sephora,” senior Keeley Skiljan said.
One of the major benefits of both companies is that they provide rewards systems. Sehpora has three levels of rewards statues you can receive, such as Beauty Insider, VIB, and Rouge. With all of these you can receive ten dollars off every 500 points, or you can recieve mini sizes for different products.
“I love sephora because I love to use my points to try new products without having to buy the mini,” junior Gwenny Roberts said.
Ulta has rewards systems where you earn one point for every dollar spent. You can also use your points towards a beauty service that Ulta provides. With a monthly fee, you can also become a higher member with special perks.
“I think Ulta’s rewards program is better because you get more money back with your purchases, compared to Sephora,” junior Evelyn Muller said.
Although both companies are liked by the St. Dominic students, Sephora takes the lead with the majority of votes. Happy homecoming!
