Is there a Sephora in Ireland? 🤔

Unfortunately, there’s no Sephora in Ireland at the moment. The closest physical Sephora stores to Ireland would be the ones in the UK, followed by France.

However, you can find stores in a number of different countries around the world. Here’s the places they currently have localised websites for:

Sephora stores around the world¹
North America	United States, Canada, Mexico
South America	Brazil
Europe	Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom
Asia	China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Middle East, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand
Oceania	Australia, New Zealand

Does Sephora ship to Ireland?

Whether or not Sephora ships to Ireland depends on which localised website you order from. For example, if you buy from Sephora UK and France you'll be able to get your order delivered in Ireland.

To make it easier for you, here’s what’s possible through the Sephora US, Sephora UK and Sephora France websites.

Can Sephora US ship to Ireland?

Starting with Sephora in the US, they used to ship internationally but unfortunately this is something they no longer offer.¹ So, Sephora US doesn't ship to Ireland anymore.

You might be able to forward an order to Ireland using a US based international freight forwarder, but it’s probably easier to order from a different Sephora website that does support shipping directly to Ireland.

Does Sephora UK ship to Ireland?

Looking a little closer to home, there’s Sephora UK. The good news on this front is that Sephora UK does ship to Ireland.²

On the homepage of the Sephora UK website you’ll find an option to set your delivery location to Ireland, and the delivery period from the time of dispatch is quite reasonable.

This is what they offer for delivery based on the amount your order is worth:

Sephora UK delivery to Ireland
Amount spent	Tracked Delivery (3-10 business days)	Express delivery (1-3 business days)
Orders valued under €40.00	€5.99	€30.00
Orders valued over €40.00	Free	€30.00
Orders valued over €95.00	Free	€24.00

Does Sephora UK charge customs to Ireland?

Whether or not you have to pay customs duties on packages arriving from Sephora UK to Ireland depends on the value of the order and how it’s shipped.²

Orders to European Union countries valued at under €150 will be delivered duty paid, and there’s no additional fees if the order is fulfilled by Feelunique (an online retailer now owned by Sephora).

If the order is over €150 and sent using Express shipping, then there may be some duties that apply. Sephora suggests reaching out to your local customs office for more information.

Does Sephora France ship to Ireland?

As one of Ireland's closest EU neighbours it makes sense to ask if Sephora France ships to Ireland, and happily the answer is yes.

As an Irish customer you can order products from the Sephora France website and have them shipped to Ireland. It takes about 3-5 working days from dispatch and the cost is a flat rate fee of €9.95.³

On the Sephora France website you can change the country of delivery to Ireland, but the language remains set to French. To get around this, you could use a browser extension like Google Translate to automatically translate the pages from French to English.

To purchase items you just need to follow the normal process of adding products to the virtual shopping cart then following the prompts to complete the checkout process. Once your order is complete you should get a confirmation from Sephora.

Wise card: Shop online in +40 currencies 🛍️

When shopping online at stores like Sephora, you may not want to use your physical debit card due to security concerns. Also, there may be concerns about additional fees that could apply if you're purchasing from a store that operates in a foreign currency like GBP or USD. Having a Wise card can help you with both of these things.

When you open a Wise Account there are some great benefits which you can access without needing to pay any monthly account fees:

• Hold and exchange money in over 40 currencies
• Send money to over 160 countries around the globe
• Get access to local account details in 9+ currencies, including EUR, GBP and USD

Once you have a Wise Account, you can order a Wise card and spend money in 150 countries and in +40 currencies.

If you have local currency in your Wise Account that will be drawn from first to make the payment. If you don’t, smart technology will automatically pull from and convert money from another currency to complete the transaction. Wise will always exchange your money at the mid-market rate with a small conversion fee starting at 0.35%.

💡 If you haven’t heard of the mid-market rate before, it’s the midway point between the current buy and sell points on the global currency market. It’s a reasonable and fair way to decide what the foreign exchange rate is going to be.

As well as ordering a physical Wise card you can also generate virtual Wise cards. The beauty of a virtual card is that you can:

• Freeze delete and create new ones online in the Wise app or website
• Don’t need to worry about your physical card details being compromised, because the virtual card has a different number
• They are free to create and don't need any activation
• You can add your virtual card to mobile wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay
