Two years after Sephora opened its first door in New Zealand, the global beauty retailer is all set to inaugurate its second store in Auckland on March 18, 2021.
Located at Sylvia Park, the new store boasts bigger experiential spaces throughout as well as a wide brand assortment.
“It’s been almost two years since we opened our first brick-and-mortar store in Auckland and the journey so far has been nothing short of exciting,” Sephora Australia & New Zealand general manager, Beth Glancey.
“We always knew that New Zealand would be a key market in building our beauty community and we can’t wait to connect with our customers in this new and dynamic way.”
Highlights include:
Elevated Sephora services
Similar to the first store, customers can enjoy skincare consultations at the Skincare Table on the ground floor. They will also be able to enjoy consultations on the first floor at the Skincare Bar, nestled amongst skincare brands like Ultra Violette, Fresh Beauty, Ole Henriksen and more.
In addition, the new store also comes packed with makeup mirrors to allow for product trial and larger Beauty Studios for beauty touch and play.
New brand offering
Sylvia Park store will open with new brands like Pat McGrath Labs, which launches exclusively with Sephora New Zealand as well as Giorgio Armani, Burberry Beauty, Goldfield & Banks and Bon Parfumer.
