Sephora to open in Fashion Place

MURRAY — Shoppers will soon be carrying around the trademark black-and-white striped bags filled with goodies from beauty retailer Sephora.

The San Francisco-based company — a division of French company Mo't Hennessy Louis Vuitton, based in Paris — will open a 5,515-square-foot store in the Fashion Place Mall, 6191 S. State, on June 4, a spokeswoman for Sephora USA Inc. told the Deseret News on Monday. The store will offer more than 13,000 makeup, skin-care, hair and bath products from more than 200 brands, including Sephora's private label of beauty products

.Aside from a presence in the J.C. Penney store in Riverdale, Utah has been one of the only states in the western United States without a stand-alone Sephora, although there is a 400,000-square-foot distribution center in western Salt Lake City where products are boxed and shipped to the approximately 100 stores west of the Mississippi River.
