If you can’t resist the siren call of a Sephora store every time you head pass one, you can rest easy knowing that you’re not alone. We’re definitely guilty of this too, especially when there are new releases in store.
Fortunately— or unfortunately for our wallets, it seems — the second half of the year brings about a whole bunch of new brands and products. We’re talking cult skincare brands, revolutionary makeup finds, and oh-so-pretty packaging that is sure to have you whipping out your credit cards.
A little overwhelmed by the thought of it already? Don’t worry. Daily Vanity has compiled a list of the most exciting buys you should pick up on your next trip over to Sephora. Bear in mind, though — some of them may be out in stores already, but some will only be out in later months!
