It’s the day beauty aficionados have been waiting for: Sephora is returning to the UK, opening a physical store on March 8th.
That’s right, you won’t have to be envious of the American TikTokers roaming around Sephora, stuffing their baskets with the latest goods.
After all, purchasing at the Sephora online store isn’t the same. You can’t swatch or experiment with different colours or formulations.
Sephora announced earlier this year that the shop will be located in Westfield White City London, and now we have some more delicious facts about it.
So, what can you expect during its first week?
Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, the shop expands to almost 6,000 square feet, putting as many beauty goods as possible onto its numerous shelves.
The shop will feature over 135 brands, including Sephora’s own line.
Mario Cosmetics, GXVE by Gwen Stefani, ONE/SIZE by Partick Star, and Vegamour will also be available.
The first 300 clients will get a limited-edition gift bag, so if you weren’t already planned on arriving early, we recommend you do so.
There will be brands available that are not available in-store anywhere else in the UK, such as Tarte, Supergoop!, and Glow Recipe. To say we’re ecstatic would be an understatement!

All events are un-ticketed. It’s first come first serve.
This is not the first time Sephora has opened a shop in the United Kingdom. The brand used to have stores in the UK before exiting the market 17 years ago.
But, the firm is back with a vengeance, and its stores now feature a first-of-its-kind lip bar and a Benefit Brow Bar.
There’s also a scent engraving service, making it ideal for picking up a present.
There are innumerable things we can’t wait to get our hands on, but if going to the shop this week isn’t something you have time for, we’ve got some top recommendations for you to order.
