Sephora to return to the UK?
Have Sephora been reading Kiss and Makeup? Last night PJ at A Touch of Blusher alerted me to some very exciting news - Sephora might be coming back to the UK!
Apparently the firm are in talks with M&S about having Sephora shop-in-shops in their stores. This partnership strikes me as a little odd, but apparently it's based on the Sephora shop-in-shops in JC Penney in the US.
Retail Week reports that if the venture was to go ahead, 10 Sephora outlets would opened in M&S stores, followed by a further 100 if it went well. However, both M&S and Sephora declined to comment on the matter.
Although I'm still not convinced about the compatibility of Sephora and Marks and Spencer (not so similar target audiences, surely?) you can bet I'd be hot-footing it to the store if this partnership did go ahead (which is the whole point, I suppose).
So don't forget to sign our petition and join the Facebook group if you haven't already, this could actually happen!

OMG so so exciting!!! It would absolutely make my year if sephora came back...just hope that at least one of the 1st ten stores would be somewhere in Scotland! Companies have a bad knack of forgettting about us sometimes!

Finally! No more funny looks in the airport security check on the return trip: ".. but 20 blotting paper packages, Miss? What's that all about?"

This should have happened years ago. They can put it in the M and S ads. "This isn't any ordinary cosmetic concession - it's Sephora at Marks and Spencer"!!!!
