The beauty blogosphere was alight this morning with news that beauty mecca Sephora are now shipping to the UK. This is music to the ears of those of us addicted to make up, eager to try out the best the US has to offer but can't get our grubby paws on. Thankfully, in Ireland, we have Parcel Motel so you wont even have to sweet talk an English relative into taking the delivery for you. Good times all round.
Here's what I would put straight into my basket right now if money were no object and if I didn't already own way too much blush.
1) We can actually buy the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush over here anyway, but sure may as well throw it in the old basket while you're there. These are getting rave reviews all over the place and the blush addict in me must experience it for myself!!
2) Tarte Cheek Stain. I've heard nothing about this but it's from Tarte, it's pretty and I want it. So there.
3) Josie Maran Coconut Watercolour Cheek Gelee. I'm intrigued by the notion of a "hydrating blush" and these look kind of gorgeous.
4) Tarte Amazonian Clay Foundation. EssieButton has been raving about this and I pretty much want everything she recommends so it's high on the list.
5) Tarte Amazonian Clay blush. This is an obvious one as these are well regarded as being one of the best blushers available but I still haven't tried them and that's just a travesty really (not really, obviously).
6) Be Mattnificent Palette. Again, Tarte but look how gorgeous this is!! I do love a good matte shadow and this really looks like the perfect mix of shades.
If you want in on the action, all you have to do is do your shopping on the US site, select the UK as your country at checkout, ship your order for a flat rate of £10 on orders over £75. If you're shopping from Ireland, I'd recommend signing up with Parcel Motel, like I said above- you'll get a UK address from them to ship your delivery to.
I wont lie, I'm very tempted! What about you, itching to get your hands on any of this lot?

The first thing when I read the title of ths post was "Oh no...." Now I will most definitely be destitute by the end of the year!! I wasn't on Twitter this morning so missed this, AMAZING!!!
ReplyDeleteI know, I'll be Stoney broke from all the tarte I'll be buying!
DeleteOh Tarte ... I will own ALL of you!
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts exactly!
DeleteOooh, this is very bad news for my finances!!! Amazing news, so many more brands & products to try!

I know! I'm trying to resist at the moment but really, it's probably only a matter of time!
DeleteThey don't seem to be able to ship a lot of brands though, I tried already! Kate Sommerville, I'm looking at you...
ReplyDeleteI haven't even tried buying anything tbh so I don't know what is and isn't available. That's a shame though :(
DeleteHate to break it to you Chloe, but you won't be getting Hourglass from them, or Nars. As soon as I heard earlier today that UK shipping was available I was off like a flash to sephora.com (work? What work?), tried adding Narsissist palette & Hourglass powder to basket and both came up as being unable to ship to the UK. Fecking feckers.
ReplyDeleteIt's mostly tarte I want anyway Yvonne, sure we can get nars and hourglass here!
DeleteIt's great and everything but I still don't think I would be bothered! The shipping is probably catastrophic and as a couple stated; there's a no no on some of the products. I wonder if they will ship tarte because of the QVC deal.
ReplyDeleteThe shipping is a flat rate of 10 gbp for orders of 75 gbp, with no added extra prices or charges. 75 might seem like a lot but if you wanted a few things or you clubbed together with a couple of other people, it'd work out well I think.
DeleteIt's probably a good thing I don't have money at the moment! I wonder if they'll ship Benefit, as the prices over here are insane! Kinda crappy that they're not posting some things
ReplyDeleteI've no idea what they are and aren't shipping, I must have a look and see!
Deleteooooh, have been wanting to try Tarte products for so long!! That Mattificent palette looks fab. I can hear my purse crying at the sheer mention!!

I'd say my poor credit card has already hidden itself away in anticipation! ;)
DeleteI can't wait to try some Tarte products, first on the list is the Be Mattificent palette :D Parcel Motel is going to busy with us all ordering!
ReplyDeleteI know, they'll be only delighted!!
