For years, any trip abroad meant one thing—locating the nearest Sephora and spending a small fortune. This dedication to shopping is what led me to discover Sephora Collection, the retailer's affordable own-brand range, which is what I consider to be one of the most underrated beauty brands. And right now, new customers can get an exclusive 15% off.
Since Sephora finally landed in the UK, there has been no shortage of friends and family flocking to the website and London store, and I tell them all the same thing: don't overlook the own-brand collection. I used a Sephora brand mascara religiously for several years, and it's still one of my favourite purchases to date despite it being one of my most reasonably priced.
We've definitely seen affordable beauty brands growing in popularity over the last few years, and it's clear that lower price points don't always equal lower quality. Sephora Collection is one such example, and its latest offering goes to show why it's deserving of a place in your summer beauty collection.
With a hugely extensive range of skincare, makeup, tools, and even haircare, there's a high-performing option to suit every single budget. Plus, with our exclusive Sephora discount code, new customers can get an extra 15% off right now.
Shop my top Sephora Collection picks
My excitement at discovering a new beauty brand can sometimes be clouded by the pressure that comes with narrowing down exactly what to buy—particularly when the lower price point means I can justify throwing everything into my basket. That's why I've carefully curated my top Sephora Collection recommendations here, to make your shopping experience all the more smooth.
I'll say it again: this is one of the best mascaras for unmatched length and volume, and it's less than £15.
Similar lip and cheek tints I've tried easily cost £20+, which makes this substantial tube seem even more worth it—and it has countless five-star reviews. Perfect for summery makeup looks.
A completely transfer-proof lip liner is a non-negotiable for me, especially during the summer months when I'm constantly drinking water. For less than £10, this is a no-brainer buy.
An essential in my travel bag, this setting spray offers 16 hour wear and a fully transfer-proof finish. Sweat is no match.
I refuse to spend an hour blow drying my hair during the height of summer, but I can't let my frizz run wild. This waver is my budget secret to controlled texture.
After silky soft locks? This hair gloss water is your shortcut, and it's much cheaper than a salon visit.
You will never find a handbag of mine without a hydrating lip tint inside, and this one works as a 12 hour stain whilst adding shine and plumpness.
It’s no secret: Vitamin C is a powerful ingredient for delivering a dose of brightness to the skin. This one, is formulated with vitamin E too, and promises a ‘unifying and anti-dull complexion effect’.
