Sephora in JCPenney - What to expect?

My local JCPenney is getting a remodel, and they're adding a Sephora, which will open in June.

Obviously it's not the same as a freestanding Sephora, but will it still carry most of the high-end brands? We have an Ulta here, but as you know it doesn't carry MUFE, NARS, and some other brands I'd like to try. 

Does the JCP Sephora carry these lines? I'm extremely excited because the closest Sephora to me is a two hour drive, so I only get to go maybe 1-2 times a year. 

Thanks for your help!

  • The one in my Penny's has Nar's for sure, I don't know about MUFE as I don't use it. The only thing that sucks is that they don't take the sephora gift cards, you can use a Penny's one in there though. Also, for the points to count towards your VIP card you must call it in  after the fact and provide all the details of the transaction.

  • I primarily shop Sephora online or at JC Penney since there isn't a full Sephora free standing store close to me unfortunately. The one in a JC Penney is only 10 minutes away, where as the free standing one is almost 40 minutes away. The one in JC Penney carries everything I've ever looked for, including NARS. I'm not sure about MUFE, as I've never shopped that brand, but they definitely carry all the NARS products.

    We have a regular Sephora & A JCP Sephora in our mall. The JCP one carries MUFE, Nars, Stila, Smashbox, Bare Escentuals, Hello Kitty, Urban Decay, Cargo, Benefit, and maybe Too Faced? Maybe. It's a pretty good size. It does not have the slightly higher end brands like Dior, Guerlain, Hourglass, Givenchy, YSL, etc.

    I kind of like the JCP one. They sometimes put out the new collections (Nars, specifically) before the full store.

    ETA that I've used Sephora GCs at the JCP store. I've also used Sephora store credit that was issued at the full store in the JCP Sephora. It prints a Sephora receipt.

  • My Sephora in JCP carried both Nars and MUFE and they also take my beauty insider card. So guess they are all different?  I've also used a gift card in mine before.

    Guess sounds like you will just have to wait and see what yours offers!! Sorry I can't be of more help~ but just so you know I actually like the Sepora in JCP better as I'm not as overwhelmed in a HUGE store of makeup. (my weakness) LOL

  • The Sephora in the JCP here is MUCH smaller than the regular store - I'd say 3 to 4 times smaller, easily. I've notieced that they have most of the brands I use, but not as many things of each. They'll have the basics, but not every item from every brand. 

    The makeup seems pretty well stocked, but the body products like Bliss and Philosophy have really small sections. I want to say the perfume and hair products are what really looks smaller. I'm not too sure about the skincare since I'm really lazy in that area, but I don't recall a huge skincare section in the JCP sephora.

  • Ours has MUFE and Nars.

    It's significantly smaller than a free-standing Sephora, but it still seems to have a lot of the good stuff that people talk about.

  • Thanks everyone, I'm really excited for it to open!

  • I saw my local JCP was also remodeling with a Sephora, but it is really weird because connected in the mall like 4 stores away is the actual Sephora store.  Not sure why they are doing this but I guess it works for people who don't have an actual store by them and only a JCP (smaller towns).
