Sephora inside JCPenney

Sephora has launched a store-with-in-a-store inside a growing number of JCPenney stores in the United States. These stores, which are one-third the size of a normal Sephora store (1,500 to 1,800 square feet as opposed to 4,000+ square feet), carry a more limited selection than full-size Sephora stores; however, many of Sephora's most popular cosmetics, skincare, and fragrance brands are represented.

Notably, Sephora gift cards currently cannot be used at these locations; however, JCPenney gift cards, the JCPenney credit card, and all major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover) can be used.
