Our Ultimate Top 10 Buys From Sephora Australia

BY: HOLLY BARTTER

When the doors of the Sephora Australia opened in Pitt Street Mall in Sydney in December last year, you could scarcely get in the door to browse. The pull of being able to finally swatch the Sephora exclusive brands was strong, and even twelve months later you’d be hard pressed to find the store with less than 20 people perusing the two-level flagship.

If you’re not a Sydney-sider, or you simply prefer to do your beauty shopping in your pyjamas, then the Sephora Australia website Sephora.com.au is your answer. And just as you’d expect from the cosmetics behemoth, the Sephora Australia website is pretty enormous!

Encompassing all of the most drool-worthy brands, everyday essentials, exclusive gift packs, men’s cosmetics, tools, brushes and so much more, you’d be forgiven for not knowing where to begin – or where to start parting with those hard-earned dollars!

Overwhelmed? Don’t be! We’ve scouted the top buys from the Sephora Australia website and our top 10 are as follows…

While his whole makeup collection is unsurprisingly chic, we love these chunky silver bullets that come in an array of shades from soft neutrals to ultra brights. Infused with honey, they apply like a nourishing lip balm with long lasting power – you’re sure to want to collect more than one.
