The news all Sephora lovers this side of the pond have been wishing for is confirmed

Sephora, leading giants in all things beauty related, have confirmed they will open their first UK store in Westfield, London. And we are a mere hours flight away!

Caroline Hirons broke the happy news on Twitter.

Sephora is THE hub of all things makeup.

If you are unaware of the magical place, it is a department store that specifically caters for all things skin care and makeup related. It hosts lodging to literally every brand you can imagine.  And more.

I clearly remember my first trip to the US and the mark the beauty emporium left on me. To this day, I remember the feeling of excitement from merely just walking through those doors. I'm pretty much spent all my summer savings there. Investment pieces, you know?

For me, Sephora is like the adult version of Willy Wonka's Chocolate factory for the makeup obsessed.

Opening its doors in the UK really means it's only a matter of time before it broadens its horizons and crosses into Irish waters. There are loads of empty shops just waiting for the right fit to come along.

I am very excited about this, and I am definitely not the only one. British fans took to Twitter in delight:

I won't be able to sleep until I know exactly when it's coming so I can book my flights to London. We have reached out to Sephora PR team to find out more. We'll let you know more when we do.
