Our beauty team has scrolled through Sephora's entire under-£10 section - here's everything we'd buy

From iconic Korean beauty brands to handy travel sizes, Sephora's under-£10 section is actually really good if you need to restock the essentials on a budget.

As a beauty team, we love a bargain, so imagine our delight when we discovered that Sephora has its own under-£10 section filled with discounts on some of the most popular, well-loved brands - spanning iconic French skincare to hardworking, everyday cleansers, brow pencils and more.

Now, this might be old news to some who already know of this Sephora sale section, but we can't tell you what a commotion it caused when we were scrolling through and spying some of our favourite buys, like The Inkey List Caffeine eye cream and Glow Recipe Bingsoo lip treatment, all discounted and costing less than a tenner. And who can blame us? It's a challenge to find any beauty product for under-£10 these days, so when we do, it's something we shout about. And yes, while we acknowledge some are minis and travel editions, there are also quite a few full-size buys - and the list changes frequently. Plus, sometimes a mini can really stretch and prove itself to be fairly cost-effective.

So, if you're keen to add a few essentials to your cart for the price of a cup of coffee, these are the products - spanning haircare to makeup - that we think are pretty tempting, and shocked us to see so cheap.

Sephora haircare for £10 & under

"I associate Sephora with innovation, hyped brands, and a playful, hands-on shopping experience. But beauty bargains? Not so much," quips Digital Beauty Channel Editor, Fiona McKim. "So I’m surprised and delighted to discover this sneaky sub-tenner section full of genuinely great, affordable stuff. Particularly so with hair products where prices creep up on you (and bottles run dry quickly) - this is a perfect excuse to stack your bathroom shelf with fancy shampoo, styling sprays and silky scrunchies.

Sephora skincare for £10 & under

"Skincare can set you back a pretty penny, especially when you’re restocking your entire routine," says Digital Beauty Writer Sennen Prickett. "So, to be able to snap up some popular formulas for under a tenner (and enjoy impressive savings of up to 50% off), it's simply a no-brainer. Sephora makes home to some of the most recognisable beauty brands in the business, such as Glow Recipe, The Inkey List and Eucerin, and so does this curated sale. You’ll be able to bag everything from caffeine eye creams and lip balms to retinol serums and nourishing French skincare creams."

Sephora makeup for for £10 & under

From minis of popular buys from Rare Beauty and Morphe, to full-sizes of Sephora's own collection, this under-£10 section is quite the find. And in case you're yet to sample the retailer's own line, Digital Beauty Editor, Aleesha Badkar says: "I have long been a fan of Sephora Collection makeup for its reliable and long-lasting formulas paired with a really affordable price point. I love that you can get basically a whole makeup bag of products, all for under £10 each - honestly, it's up there with the makeup I've repurchased the most."

Sephora K-beauty for £10 & under

"Sephora is where I tend to restock most of my Korean skincare favourites, like the Biodance Bio Collagen sheet masks," says Digital Beauty Writer Naomi Jamieson, "but it never occurred to me that there might be a handy little sale section with a few discounts on the likes of Round Lab, Dr Althea and TirTir that I could grab on my virtual way to checkout. You can find some full-size products (like the TirTir lip oil), but I also like that the cheaper minis are further discounted, so I have a chance to test out formulas on my sensitive skin before properly investing. Plus, they're amazing for travel - I'm heading away in September and will be taking a few of these with me."
