Different price range than Sephora or Ulta. The usual places for these are lifestyle centers, the surviving high end malls, urban neighborhoods, or inner ring suburban downtowns. It shouldn't be difficult to find 30 of those locations. Kiehl's (one of the lines they sell) closed a lot of stores dur...
