Sephora is my absolute favorite shopping destination and a haven for beauty and makeup enthusiasts. I couldn’t be happier to launch Sephora yet again in India and this time in Kolkata with my friends and fans. I’m wearing the Sephora Cream Lip Stain today and you can try as many experientials too to get your favorite look.”
