I haven't played Monopoly in years, but I have to admit the new Sephora version has this beauty addict interested in playing again.

In this version, you Go to Jail for bad hair days, get a manicure so you can Advance to Go and collect $200, and pay fines for streaky self-tanner application. The game features popular brands like Stila in Gloss Gardens, Make Up For Ever on Lipstick Lane, Nars on Cheek Street, Murad at Cleanser Crossing and Bliss on Lotion Avenue. According to the press release:

The object of the game is to own it all Sephora-style. Players vie to run the most successful Sephora store by filling it with the most beauty products and essentials such as water and electricity.

To play the game, players buy beauty products to fill up their stores and just like the original, when players land on cosmetic properties owned by their opponents, rent must be paid.

When a player owns an entire cosmetic category, they can place Sephora Shopping Bags on their properties and eventually upgrade to Sephora Stores.

To win, players must bankrupt their opponents so that only one Sephora store remains.

Available from now till January 2007, for US$45. (Thanks to Mag for the tip!)
