SEPHORA Launches in the UK!

 

Beauty lovers rejoice!

SEPHORA has officially burst onto the scene in the UK!

The iconic site landed on our shores on October 17^th, bringing with it its own unique celebration of the unlimited power of beauty for all.

 

 

The launch has seen Feelunique transform seamlessly into SEPHORA.co.uk, satisfying all of your beauty desires and making all beauty trends both possible and accessible.

Those days of desperately googling products and brands you so want to try only to find out they’re only available from SEPHORA USA or France, which didn’t ship to the UK (or incurred mahoosive shipping charges) are finally over and I’m absolutely over the moon!

So many brands that I’ve longed to get my hands on are now available and as a beauty lover I’m thoroughly thrilled!

Sephora.co.uk is absolutely JAM PACKED full of some incredible brands! 

 

 

From iconic, established brands such as Charlotte Tilbury, DIOR, CHANEL, Darphin and Clarins to newly launched, boutique brands previously unavailable in the UK such as GXVE by Gwen Stefani, Makeup by Mario, Tarte Cosmetics and ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starr there is something for everyone on SEPHORA.

Whatever your budget, whatever your requirement, whatever your need or want, you will find it here.

Arriving at the most perfect time (I’m talking Christmas) there are literally THOUSANDS of gifts and products and HUNDREDS of brands available to choose from.

One such brand is the absolutely gorgeous SEPHORA collection!

 

 

The SEPHORA Collection is an expansive range of products, from makeup to skincare, hair to perfume, bath to food supplements with the mission of democratizing high-performance beauty and is committed to a responsible approach: ‘easy to use, affordable and accessible to all.’

There is so much to discover its hard to know where to begin, so I’ve curated a small collection of products that I think represent the diversity and inclusion of SEPHORA, plus would make some awesome Christmas gifts!

Now, how could I not begin with the SEPHORA Collection? I’ve selected two gorgeous gifts which I hope you’ll love as much as I do.

 

 

First up is the SEPHORA Collection Set Of 3 Mini Makeup Brushes + Travel Pouch - Wishing You 3 pieces (£15.99).

This cuter than cute limited edition trio of mini, vegan face and eye makeup brushes comes in an adorable silky soft, pastel blue pouch and just looks insane!

Let’s be honest, mini’s will never not be cute, and these three brushes (two for the face and one for the eyes) are perfect for on-the-go touch up’s, making it easy quick and easy to apply for your makeup for any occasion.

 

 

 Looking wonderfully luxe with their elegant gold hue and super soft, synthetic fibres, they are made without animal derived ingredients and allow for expert, precise application.

Next is another super sweet gift set from the SEPHORA Collection, the Set Of 2 Outrageous Intense Lip Plumpers - WISHING YOU (£14.99).

If you know me you’ll know I got a lotta love for lip plumpers are these are just brilliant.

Harnessing the power of chili pepper and combining it with the hydrating, plumping effects of hyaluronic acid, these silky liplovers offer intense shine and instantly help to plump your lips for a fuller, longer lasting pout.

 

 

If like me you love the tingle that you often get with lip plumpers then you’re gonna love these.

Featuring two timeless, wearable shades and housed in a gorgeous multi-faceted bottles with bold red lids, they create a spicy, tingly sensation when applied and flood your lips with moisture, creating volume and soft curves that last all day.

Now, two well known brands that are available on SEPHORA are Benefit and Estee Lauder, oldie’s but goodies and so sticking with the mini theme, I picked out these two lovelies.

 Benefit Roller Express Holiday Set - Eyeliner & mascara (£13.50).

Roller Lash has been my go-to mascara ever since it launched. 

 

 

Offering super black pigment, sensational lift, length and curve, it is my favourite mascara.

Perfect as a secret santa gift, this deluxe set contains a mini Roller Lash Mascara and matte finish Roller Liner Eyeliner, nestled neatly inside a re-usable keepsake tin complete with special holiday stickers for a little extra touch.

Estée Lauder’s Advanced Night Repair Serum & Advanced Night Repair Eye Supercharged Complex Duo (£18) would also make a brilliant little gift this Christmas.

Featuring Estee Lauder’s luxurious, potent night time eye cream and #1 serum to fight back against the multiple signs of ageing, this targeted duo help to turn back the clock.

The fast-absorbing serum reduces the appearance of signs of ageing caused by the environmental assaults of modern life resulting in skin looks smoother and less lined, younger, more radiant and even toned.

 

 

The rich, luxurious eyes cream helps to replenish the delicate skin around your eye area, reducing the appearance of dark circles and fine lines for a younger looking appearance.

They’re not iconic best-sellers for nothing!

Morphe is a brand that I wasn’t familiar with, but after I saw this gorgeous set I knew I couldn’t resist- plus who doesn’t enjoy discovering new favourites!

 

 

The Morphe X Pony Constellation Sky Lip Gelee Trio (£12- was £20), see’s the brand pairing up with South Korean beauty powerhouse and social media sensation PONY to launch this lip gelee trio as part of the Constellation Sky collection.

 Featuring three interstellar, sheer yet shimmery tinted balms in shades lavender, celestial blue and golden apricot, they offer a wonderfully nourishing, soft feel thanks to their hydrating formulas which include avocado oil and enhance your own natural lip colour with a soft pearlescent tint.

 

 

I love the soft curves of the bullets and their addictive, pastel hues!

Finally we land on the Ariana Grande 3 x Miniature Eau De Parfum Gift Set (£22.99).

(I told you I had a thing for mini’s, do you believe me now?!)

 This gorgeous pale pink Christmas Cracker almost doesn’t even need to be wrapped it looks that good!

Nestled inside you’ll find three mini versions of Ariana’s super popular fragrances;

 

 

Sweet Like Candy: Top notes of sweet blackberry, juicy pear and bergamot swirl into a blissfully creamy heart of whipped cream, soft marshmallow, black currant, frangipani, honeysuckle and jasmine before base notes of sweet, warm vanilla and luxurious cashmere wood round off the fragrant experience.

R.E.M.: Opens with notes of zefir, creamy caramel, salt, fig and quince before mid notes of fragrant lavender and pear blossom combine with a base of tonka bean, musk and sandalwood to create a multi-dimensional, seductive scent.

Ari: Opening with a fruity explosion of raspberry, pear and grapefruit it the gives way to mid notes of creamy vanilla orchid, lily of the valley and timeless rose before transforming into a base of  marshmallow, musk and woody notes.

 

 

Brilliantly priced, full of variety and inspiration, SEPHORA has well and truly landed.

Feelunique Charlotte Tilbury & Benefit Most Wanted gift set

 Treat yourself or a fellow beauty addict to the most fabulous Secret Santa or stocking filling gift this year with Feelunique.

Take a look at their gorgeous Charlotte Tilbury & Benefit Most Wanted gift set (£10).

 

 

This cuter-than-cute set brings together two of the biggest, best-known beauty brands in the industry and features two of their most iconic, hero products.

Nestled inside a festive gift box complete with ribbon to allow you to hang it on your tree you’ll find a mini Charlotte Tilbury Hot Lips 2 Lipstick in Viba La Vegara and a mini Benefit They’re Real Mascara.

 

 

Aside from the fact that I just adore mini’s (they’re sweet and compact enough to pop in the smallest of bags on a night out) these are two stella products which I highly rate.

I use Benefit’s They’re Real Mascara almost every day, its my go-to mascara of choice.

Offering unparalleled length, curl, lift and volume, they’res nothing this mascara can’t do.

 

 

Featuring a long-wear formula that won’t smudge or flake, its unique domed-tip brush design ensures that each and every lash is evenly coated with the jet-black formula to really make your lashes pop.

You receive just the right amount of product on the brush and the easy to manoeuvre wand allows you to grip, hug and curl each and every lash for lashes that really do have people asking you if ‘they’re real’.

 

 

I’m equally head over heels with Charlotte Tilbury’s Hot Lips 2 Viva La Vegara.

Presented within an eye catching black and gold art-deco style box, you’ll find the most luxurious lippie.

 

 

The case itself boasts the iconic rose gold hue so associated with Charlotte Tilbury but has been dressed up with a funk leopard print design.

Created as homage to Sofia Vegara, the lipstick offers a soft, wine shade.

 

 

Created using Charlotte’s award winning Matte Revolution formula, the lipstick is both moisturising and pampering but offers a semi-matte, luxe finish.

It contains antioxidant rich lipstick tree and orchid extract to hydrate and condition your lips while its 3D glowing pigments create the appearance of a puller pout for silky smooth, beautifully kissable lips.

 

 

Priced at just £10, the set is actually valued at £15.94 and is a fabulous gift guarantee to delight any beauty addict.

Feelunique’s Charlotte Tilbury & Benefit Most Wanted gift set is available online now.

Laura Mercier Holiday Collection

Glow with radiance and pamper your skin to a truly luxurious and decadent fragrant experience this Christmas with Laura Mercier’s exquisite collection of festive sets.

There’s no better time to indulge in some luxury than during the festive season and if you’re looking to treat either yourself or a loved one then you’re going to love these two pieces that I’ve picked out for you.

First up is the Laura Mercier Luxe Ultime Body Butter Duo (£45).

This elegant, limited edition set contains an Ambre Vanille Body Butter and an Almond Coconut Milk Body Butter and yes, they smell as incredible as they sound.

These rich, decadent butters deliver superior hydration while leaving your skin infused with the scent of unique, addictive essences.

 Inspired by the comforting scent of almond and coconut, the Almond Coconut Milk butter is just a delight to use.

Formulated with shea butter, Illipe butter, grape seed oil and Jojoba Esters to nourish and condition your skin, Honey and Aloe Vera Gel help to naturally soothe dry skin while the delectable, soft aroma wraps your senses in a comforting warm hug.

The divine scent lingers on your skin, allowing you to breathe in its luxurious notes for hour upon hour after application.

 Ambre Vanillé offers an indulgent, elegant and sophisticated experience with the soft sensuality of warm Amber blending with the creamy, sweet comfort of Vanilla.

Enriched with the same skin nourishing ingredients as the Almond Coconut Milk butter, it is a beautifully hydrating butter that leaves your skin feeling soft and moisturised without a hint of greasiness.

The butter is quickly absorbed, allowing you to dress promptly after application and once again its features a really long lasting aroma which I love.

Once you have treated your body to a wonderfully luxurious pampering its time to impart some festive glow onto your complexion!

There’s no better way to do this than with their Paint with Light Face Illuminator Trio (£40).

This stunning Radiant compact includes two of Laura Mercier’s best-selling Face Illuminators in the shades Devotion and Inspiration as well as a new limited edition shade, Obsession.

 These multi-purpose, multidimensional highlighting powders brings customisable light to your face, eyes, and décolletage.

Its not difficult to see why these iconic illuminators have become ‘Insta-famous’. 

Pressed into a decadent, rippled pattern to resemble a swathe of luxurious silk, the illuminators feature prismatic pigments that deliver long-wearing illumination that won't fade or shift.

Depending on your desired look, create a soft focus glow with either Devotion, a soft, creamy light yellow gold, or why not opt for the festive, frosted white pearlescent Obsession.

Create a more daring, bold look with the with the stunning rose gold Inspiration and ensure that all eyes are on you this festive season.

 Silky soft in texture and finely milled, they offer a delicate shimmer rather than glimmer glitter and its buildable formula allows you to intensify your look depending on your mood.

 Housed within a chic, compact palette that is ideal for popping in your make up bag for on the go touch ups, it’s a must have for all fans of highlighters.
