How long is the Sephora sale on for?

A specific end date for sale hasn't been confirmed, but with deals this good we can't imagine it will be long before they're all snapped up - so, if you spot a standout offer, it's worth bagging it before they sell out. We experienced first-hand how often the sale is updated, just two days ago our favourite Sol de Janeiro '40 fragrance mist had its price tags reduced, however after checking today we realised it's no longer featured in the sale. So, take it from us, shop the bargains whilst you can...

How to know if you're getting a good deal

The Sephora sale is being continuously updated, with plenty of savings to be made on big named brands, so it's worth refreshing the page and keeping an eye on the new items that hit the sales. However, the downside to this also means that you can't guarantee products to remain in the sale - so, if you see something you like, it's worth snapping it up quickly before it's too late.

Where to shop Sephora in the UK

Sephora now have a UK website where you can shop the entirety of the sale online. The beauty department store also have seven stores around the country, including London, Birmingham, Manchester and Newcastle.
