How Do Sephora Australia’s Prices Compare to Sephora US?

Posted on November 3, 2015

Aussies waited with bated breath for Sephora to hit their shores and in end 2014, they were happy to see that Sephora finally opened in Sydney. Come November 2015, their online store has finally opened as well, giving Aussies the opportunity to shop for their beauty needs.

But is it what it seems?

We took a stock-check and compared the brands available on Sephora Australia and Sephora USA and a wide gap exists. Favourites from Sephora USA cannot be seen on Australia’s online platform; and even with brands that do exist, the range is fairly different from what you get from Sephora USA.

For instance, let’s look at Kat Von D. Sephora USA boasts a total of 42 items listed while Sephora Australia only shows 5 items. Hot favourites like Kat Von D’s lipsticks can’t be found on the Australian site.

We then randomly picked 5 items to compare the prices of and here are the results:

*Becca Afterglow is available from ULTA USA.
** Exchange rate used is 1 AUD = 0.71 US

Some other reasons to continue shopping with our US Boxers for your makeup is that you can also access Sephora Favorites sets and Sephora JCPenney sets that are exclusive to the US. Read more about it here.

Come November 6th-9th, we will also see Sephora USA hold it’s bi-annual 20% VIB Rouge sale, so for more savings, a better range and a personal shopping experience, be sure to get a VPN, log in to Sephora USA and let our US Boxers know what you want them to buy for you!

Hi Angelique, the MAC Oh Darling highlighter is not longer available unfortunately. Howvever if you wished to shop for other items in the US, feel free to submit an order for ANYTHING you want and you’ll be assigned your very own Boxer (Personal Shopper). 3 day express shipping from the US to Australia starts at 15 USD for 500g =) 500g is equivalent to approx 20 lipsticks!
