Wait, Is This Store About to Become the New Sephora?

Bliss, Burt’s Bees, Butter London and books sitting side-by-side?

Barnes & Noble thinks it’s a winning combo—at least on college campuses.

As reported on by Racked, the chain is trying out a new brick-and-mortar concept store—known as The Glossary—in several of its college bookstores, and it’s every beauty lover’s dream.

So far, Emory University, Southern Methodist University, Tulane University and the College of William & Mary are counting their campuses “in,” stocking brands such as Smashbox, Living Proof, Philosophy, Maybelline, L’Oreal and CoverGirl (and that’s just for starters). Next stop is a location at University of California Riverside.

What also makes The Glossary a little different (besides the choice of location) is the focus on “self-service browsing”—think less Sephora, where a consultant might help you, and more do-your-own-thing. But like Sephora, we hear there’s plenty of samples, testing and some very serious-looking goodie bags.
