If you didn't already know, Sephora did have a shop at the north of England yet failed to make good sales resulting in closing down. Harrods were believed to stock Sephora's own items, but it seems like they don't anymore as I have just checked.
Aside from the obvious - going to Paris or America - there is another way to buy from Sephora. By going on the Sephora France website here, you are able to order in Euros and then ship to the UK. The only downside to this is the fact it's written in French (you might need Google Translate to help you out!) and the shipping prices can be expensive, depending on where from the UK you live.
Let's hope they decided to open a new chain here. The only comparison to Sephora in the UK is Space NK but it's definitely not as good as Sephora. By the way, I have just e-mailed Sephora international to ask whether they have any future plans to open stores in the UK. I'll keep you updated...that's if I get a reply!
*UPDATE* I just got a reply from Sephora which says:
| Dear Suzanna, Thank you for contacting us regarding our new stores in England. We are excited to hear about your interest in our stores. We appreciate your interest in our company and are pleased to hear that you would like a store near you. While we currently do not have any plans for retail locations in England, we are now shipping to England and several other European countries via Sephora France at www.sephora.fr. To view the latest store openings and locations nearest you, please refer to the Store Openings section on the Store Locator at Sephora.com. Regards, Noelle Sephora Client Services |
From this, it doesn't look like England will be getting a Sephora anytime soon. Yet, like I said you can order online via Sephora France! Let's just hope they change their minds soon.
Suzanna xoxo
