Kolkata, Jan 7 (IBNS): The new year brought some good news for ladies in Kolkata as Bollywood actress Bipasha Basu inaugurated beauty retailer Sephora in city's South City Mall.

It’s a city where art meets makeup and I can’t think of any other beauty brand that matches this synergy and vibrancy. 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.”

With our vibrant store and diverse product range, we look to provide an unparalleled shopping experience and meet the beauty needs of all our consumers,” says Vivek Bali, Chief Operating Officer, Sephora India at Arvind Beauty Brands.

At the launch, Sephora also hosted a shopping and experiential party with the beauty enthusiasts and socialites at the store hosted by fashion designer Pranay Baidya.
