I'm an overall fan of Ulta. It used to be the closest to my home so it was my go to for makeup and accessories of any kind. In most locations, they have a salon in the store where you can get styles and cuts and color and sell a ton of hair accessories and goodies in the back of the store. They don't have every brand of makeup that you can find at Sephora and vice versa, but they have almost everything as well as tons of brushes and tools. They have great sales on their house brand of makeup and are the primary place where I buy my eye liners and nail items. What I like about Ulta is that they also sell "drug store" brand items in the store so you can browse for things and brands found at CVS and Walgreens while also buying higher end brushes and makeup items. So that's a nice perk. They have tons of perfume and if you join their membership program they have coupons and usually $10 off purchases available.
