Words. Are. Not. Forming.

Sephora has just announced the opening date for their first Australian store.

Set your calendar reminder to FRIDAY 5 DECEMBER, because that’s the day the doors will be opening on their inaugural Australian flagship store, at Westfield Sydney, located on Pitt St Mall.

A giant alarm clock installed on the store front on Thursday 27 November, will count down the week before doors finally open to welcome the very first customers.

“It has been a long time coming – especially for our devoted Australian Sephora fans – although we know the wait will be worth it”, said Sephora Country Manager, Fiona Novak.

If you are keen to line up from 8am on Friday 5 December (or days beforehand) you will be rewarded.

The Sephora team have confirmed some special events ahead of the launch: “On Friday 28, Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 November between 11AM and 2PM, Sephora brand ambassadors will be outside the store issuing ‘Sephora Survival Kits’ containing goodies including Sephora eye-shades, mirrors and sunglasses, along with details of an exciting ‘Sephora Sleepover’ competition. This offers four lucky winners and their ‘BFFs’ (Best Friend Forever) an exclusive  and luxurious overnight ‘pamper experience’ and the opportunity to be first in store on opening day.

The store will FINALLY open it’s doors at midday. Get your netball elbows ready.
