Innovative design, state-of-the-art services and exclusive brands offer the ultimate beauty experience at Melbourne Central, the heart of Melbourne’s CBD shopping precinct
SEPHORA will open its first Melbourne store in the heart of the CBD at Melbourne Central on Saturday 28th November 2015. Entertainment will kick off from 8am with a huge number of beauty enthusiasts expected to wait eagerly in line outside the La Trobe Street entrance before the beauty giant opens its doors to the public at Midday.
This is the third SEPHORA store to open in Australia, with many more Australian stores in the pipeline. Country Manager from SEPHORA Australia, Libby Amelia, said SEPHORA is absolutely thrilled to open at Melbourne Central and finally offer Victorian beauty enthusiasts long-awaited access to the exciting world that is SEPHORA.
“From today until Saturday 28 November, to mark the arrival of SEPHORA in Melbourne and build hype around town, SEPHORA will be branding one of the city’s iconic trams and offering on route surprise beauty moments. These will include $100 gift vouchers, SEPHORA goodie bags and exclusive tickets to be the first in line at Melbourne Central on opening day.
“On opening day Melbournians will see why this is one giant leap for beauty. There will be a huge LED screen counting down the time until beauty lift off, and SEPHORA Space Cadets will entertain the beauties waiting for SEPHORA to open at Noon.
“The first 100 lucky shoppers to enter the store will receive a $50 gift voucher and the next 200 will get a free SEPHORA drink bottle. SEPHORA Melbourne will be buzzing with in-store activity on the day and store hours have been extended until 9pm to allow for more beauties to come through the door.
“The sheer size and layout of the new store will be enough to amaze eager beauty enthusiasts—we can’t wait for it all to come to life!” said Ms Amelia.

“SEPHORA has something to offer everyone, in addition to endless brands and products we have in-store services to make customers look and feel amazing. At the Melbourne store, time-poor beauty lovers can enjoy a 15 minute Express Service make over, and for those shoppers with more time up their sleeve, they can opt for a Customised Make Up Application, where the session is tailored to your personal
