Today Sephora officially announced the opening date for it’s first ever New Zealand store.

Via billboards across Auckland, the beauty giant announced that Saturday 20 July is D-day and doors of the Queen St store will open at 7am for a pre-opening party, where the first 500 people will receive a free Zoeva Eyeshadow Palette worth $49 along with Sephora samples.

Opening day will include entertainment by Auckland DJs Soraya and Andy Heart Throb, while coffee, crepes and hot chocolates will be served in sustainable Sephora thermoses.

The Sephora double-decker Beauty Bus is currently touring the country giving Kiwis a taste of what they can expect to see in the country’s first ever bricks and mortar Sephora store.

The new store will be open at 152 Queen St, Auckland.
