I'm looking forward to one opening somewhat near me -- it will still be 1/2 hour away, but it would be worth checking it out at least once, when it opens. When I visited a second time, they had some NYX products in stock, but only 1 of each color. Either they don't order a lot; didn't receive their full order; or someone had been there before me. I did get a couple of NYX items. That sounds great!

I think you just had bad staff at yours -- my checkout person offered me the coupon and gave me a discount when I opened a card -- and some free samples. The store is HUGE! And the staff is pretty hands-off. At Sephora, I can feel a bit smothered by all the people who want to help me. (Although lately I've been getting some fabulous perfume samples from those over-eager helpers, a service not available at Ulta...but then, Ulta is mucho cheaper...) Any time I do a gig in North County, I try to make a trip to Ulta, but it's not someplace I'd go out of my way to shop....
