You can add Germany to the No-Sephora-list as well. :-( ASAIK Sephora has an agreement with a German chain not to try to enter the German market. Which means: no NARS, no MUFE, no Tarte, no Sephora exclusives.
The French Sephora has Tokidoki and they ship (very expensively) Europ-wide.
It really surprised me that they can't at least manage a flagship store in London. Although the one in Bluewater never used to be busy. I think we have so many fragrance discounters I.e Perfume Shop here and because that is the first thing you see in a lot of their stores that people didn't used to venture further. Its a real shame
Here here! The amount of trouble I had to go to, to get the Karl Lagerfeld For Sephora Collection - phew! There's no chance I want to do that again, no matter how cute/pretty this palette is!
I guess the problem with the UK is that it would be difficult for them to enter the market? I know of Sephora from home, beauty junkies know of Sephora from Youtube but other people do they know or care about it? There is a lot on the market already available. In the meantime we can order from the sephora.fr website, the delivery charge is 15 euros so you'd better make a big order with a few friends.
i agree with anon above. either bring sephora (provided they will have a nice collection of brands we dont have) or make Space NK better. Space NK is really bad on every aspect at the moment - especially the service and those shu uemura stands? they look empty.

I was really hoping this was going to be a post telling us that Sephora was on its way back to the UK. Alas, no...

Can't you put the thumb screws on someone, Jane. They'd listen to you! x

actually we did have sephora in germany but that was just a short episode...
i do have sephora where i live now (czech republic) but it is nothing compared to the stores in the us, france or even spain.

Well Stila came back and it's better than ever. We should just keep our fingers crossed! Either that or make Spack NK much better.

I hope Sephora makes it way back to the UK in the future. It really is a great store with so many lovely products.
