    Hi, I am heading to New York and am hoping to pick up some Benefit make-up. Problem is, I don't have a clue where to look!

    Anyone recommend any shops for me?

    http://www.sephora.com/ There's a good few of these stores around Manhattan.

    Macy's, Bloomingdales and Century21 also stock Benefit

    Have a great time!!

    Sephora is wicked! Spent about $300 in there, and I don't even wear makeup that often. :eek:

    Here's a map of their locations: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=sephora&sll=40.747777,-73.9464&sspn=0.094806,0.160675&ie=UTF8&ll=40.740104,-73.952065&spn=0.094817,0.160675&z=13

    Benefit is about the same price in dollars as it is in Euro so you'll be laughing.
    :pac:

    If you're looking for something dressy go to the department stores (Bloomingdales, Macy's etc) cause it's very hard to get anything anywhere else.

    Macy's is amazing! I spent four days solid in there, each day starting from 9am! Loads of handbags, gorgeous jewellery, cosmetics and floors and floors of clothes. If I could have set up camp in the middle of the place, I would :D Don't forget to bring your passport with you, go to the customer service desk and they'll give you a card to get a load of discounts, just for being a foreign visitor :D

    +1 on the tip for Sephora, it's the best, and they have stores all over Manhatten :D

    If you're an "Ugg" person, David Z (i think thats what it was called), also had shops all over the place and seemed to be big into Uggs. Macy's had an alright selection of Guess bags but the Guess store in Soho was miles better, and it's just across the road from the Soho branch of Bloomingdales :D
