From concealer to creams, these are the UK’s favourite finds from the French beauty retailer
Sephora’s arrival in the UK is no longer new news. With a swanky store opening serenaded by the Sugababes, countless ads and a whole lot of media attention, any beauty buff is sure to be up to date.
But alongside the shiny new stalls, website and host of new-to-Britain brands, Sephora’s own-label picks are not to be missed.
Reaching out to Sephora for answers on what is actually selling, the retailer shared with us its own-brand bestsellers, so, of course, we tried them out to see what all the fuss was about.
If you’re new to the retailer and don’t quite know where to start, let this be an introductory guide to what’s on offer. Even better, each item comes with the bonus of having an own-brand price tag, meaning everything falls within an £18 budget.
Covering everything from lipstick and concealer to face masks and foundation, we’ve rounded up the products Sephora fans are buying, to test them out for ourselves, so we can give you our verdict.
Sephora sent us a big box of products that would be any beauty lover’s dream. Diving in head-first, we got to work lacquering on the lipstick, scrubbing our scalp and slathering on the serum to see exactly why these products are selling so well.
We have to say, we’re impressed. Looking at both make-up and skincare, it’s little surprise Sephora’s own label is selling so well.
The Sephora Collection rogue is not my name lipstick stuck out as a real must-have for a low-cost, long-lasting lipstick. While the Sephora Collection ultra glow and strengthening serum certainly provides a much-needed morning pick-me-up, and the Sephora Collection best skin ever foundation has found its way into our make-up bags for when we want a more flawless-looking face.
While the own label isn’t quite as low-cost as some of our other favourite beauty retailers (Boots and Superdrug, here’s looking at you), compared with some big-name brands, there’s still a pretty big price difference. So, if you’re looking to cut costs, taking a look at Sephora’s own offering is sure to help.
