In case you missed it, US mega beauty store Sephora lands back in the UK today, after it left our shores 18 years ago. While you’ve been able to shop Sephora online Sephora.co.uk in the UK since last year, there’s nothing quite like an in-store experience where you can find that perfect shade of foundation and swatch eyeshadows to your heart’s content.
Opening in Westfield London today, Sephora’s first UK store spans over 6000 square feet and is set to be a must-see destination if you love beauty. Not only will you be able to pick up brands including Tarte, Glowe Recipe and Supergoop! physically for the first time in the UK, the store will also feature several beauty services such as Brows at Benefit and Skin Services with Glow Recipe as well as makeup application.

We’ve picked our top products that we’ll be snapping up in store at Sephora Westfield London, with prices starting from just £3.99!
PETER ROTH THOMAS Drench Hyaluronic Cloud Mask Hydrating Gel, £32
Skin looking dull and dehydrated? This cooling gel mask containing 20% Hyaluronic Acid Complex which will draw in water to your dehydrated skin, plumping it with moisture from the inside. We love it so much we sleep in ours.
TARTE Shape Tape Concealer, £27
Tarte’s best-selling full-coverage concealer offers up to 16 hours of coverage, blurring and smoothing fine lines as well as brightening your appearance. A makeup bag must-have, it comes in 27 shades, meaning you can finally find your perfect match, particularly if you head into the new Sephora London store.
SEPHORA COLLECTION Size Up Mascara, £12.99
Who doesn’t want thicker, fuller lashes? Sephora’s Size Up mascara can be found in every makeup artist’s kit! Just a few coats can up your lashes by up to 180% in volume. Plus, it also comes in waterproof formula and minis, ideal for those nights when you’re out out and all you have is a tiny bag.
MAKEUP BY MARIO Soft Pop Blush Stick, £32
As Kim Kardashian’s favourite makeup artist, Mario Dedivanovic knows a thing or two about how to transform faces. His own brand Makeup by Mario is exclusive to Sephora UK and has previously only been available online but from today, you can snap it up in person for the first time ever at Sephora’s London store. We’re treating ourselves to the Soft Pop Blush Stick for those days when we need a little colour in our cheeks.
SEPHORA COLLECTION Face Sheet Masks, £3.99 each
Co-founder Antonia swears by these sheet masks, stocking up whenever she’s in a country with a Sephora but now it’ll be just down the road (lucky but also incredibly dangerous). The Sephora Collection Watermelon Quenching & Plumping sheet mask is the perfect sheet mask to pack for a holiday – pop it on after a day by the pool to soothe skin.
SUPERGOOP! Unseen Sunscreen SPF30, £15
Another Sephora London exclusive that’s been previously online only, Supergoop! sunscreen has a cult following – totally invisible and weightless, it also works as a primer to stop your makeup from slipping off, leaving a natural finish. Pop this 20ml tube in your bag for top ups throughout the day. Remember, you should wear SPF every day – yes, even when it’s snowing!
DRYBAR Triple Sec 3-in-1 Finishing Spray, £14
Hair looking a little flat and sad? DryBar’s Triple Sec is a triple threat to bad hair days, adding texture, volume and giving hair an instant refresh. Another US import, DryBar’s blow dries are the stuff of legend – Antonia still waxes lyrical about her Las Vegas blowdry that lasted four days. A key component was undoubtedly DryBar’s Triplesec, so naturally we’re excited to get our hands on TripleSec on this side of the Atlantic!
This 47g mini DryBar TripleSec is another handbag essential but if you want to commit, you can also buy it in a full size 118g . Our top tip? Go for the lush scent for a subtle fragrance that will make your hair feel fresh all day.
Sephora London opens today (Wednesday 8th March) at 11am at Westfield London, W12
