Tapping the traveler in need of a last-minute skin care, fragrance or cosmetics item en route to his or her next destination, Sephora has set up beauty vending machines at the following airports—BNA in Nashville, TN; LAS in Las Vegas, NV; IND in Indianapolis, IN; DFW in Dallas, TX; JFK in Queens, NY; or IAH in Houston, TX, according to its Beauty And The Blog website, blog.sephora.com/2009/12/buy-your-beauty-from-sephora-vending.html

The machines feature popular brands such as Bare Escentuals, Smashbox, Philosophy, Peter Thomas Roth, Murad and StriVectin, to name a few. They have touch screen menus that offer product information and pricing. Sephora may plan to expand the dispensers into malls and JCPenney stores in 2010, according to reports.
