Make-up gets a make-over; a breakaway concept in cosmetics retailing is upsetting the old-guard department stores in the US

Article Abstract:

Sephora is a category killer in the US. The retailer does not sell cosmetics and toiletries in the way that department stores have traditionally sold them. Sephora instead provides a large selection of competing brands and lets customers sample the products to determine what product they want. The company currently has 176 stores, which in 1998 garnered sales of $375 million.
