Get ready to whip out your credit cards and empty your bank accounts, because make-up superstore Sephora is finally returning to Hong Kong on 3 September!
Nine years after Sephora closed its only Hong Kong store in Mong Kok, the hugely popular cosmetics retailer announced that it will be making a much-anticipated comeback to the city after a long, cold, and brittle absence. Known for carrying some of the most popular cult favourite beauty brands such as IT Cosmetics, Anastasia Beverly Hills, Fenty by Rihanna, Too Faced, and Kat Von D Beauty, Sephora is a glittery dream paradise for any beauty-obsessed girl.
While Sephora’s online store already delivers to Hong Kong, we can probably all agree that it’s high time we had our own physical store to test the makeup and skincare products for ourselves.
f you’ve visited IFC in the last few months, you may have caught a glimpse of Sephora’s signature black and white stripes near City’Super. The retailer will be leasing out a portion of ZARA, making it easier for you to bag the latest beauty goodies too. Meanwhile, we suggest you start practising your best selfie faces!
Doors open on 3 September 2019.
Sephora, Shop 1073–75, IFC, Central
Born and raised in Hong Kong to expat parents, Sarah grew up as your typical third-culture kid, caught between two worlds. As someone who is nosy (or just curious) and loves the written word, there was never any other career that appealed to her as much as journalism. When she’s not busy on her mission to find the line between not enough coffee and too much coffee, you can find her exploring the city or getting stuck in a good book.
