There’s no doubt you already know that Sephora has its own in-house brand, but for some reason, this collection seems to get overlooked. The SEPHORA Collection is chock full of amazing products and they’re thankfully more on the affordable end of the spectrum when it comes to shopping at Sephora. Next time you’re shopping at Sephora, don’t just walk by or overlook the Sephora Collection — it’s totally worth checking out!

First Aid Beauty

First Aid Beauty isn’t particularly unknown, however, it’s a brand that deserves a lot more attention, in our opinion! This skincare line carries amazing products, including its Ultra Repair Cream. First Aid Beauty is definitely worth a try, especially if you’re in the market for quality good skincare at a reasonable price!

ALTERNA Haircare

If you’re after luxury haircare, ALTERNA is definitely a brand to add to your Sephora shopping list. Inspired by the science behind skincare, this brand prides itself on purity and innovation. ALTERNA’s unique CAVIAR Anti-Aging complex works to help target the physical, environmental, and natural signs of aging and stress. This stress causes hair to look older and start to lose moisture, becoming dry, brittle, and more prone to breakage. 

KAJA

Kaja is a Korean makeup brand with absolutely adorable and unique packaging with its “bite-sized makeup.” Because packaging obviously isn’t everything, the brands formulas are also said to be just as great. It’s refreshing to see a makeup brand serving a fun aesthetic with a great product as heart-shaped products seem to be a running theme here!

lilah b.

lilah B. is a unique brand because a lot of its products are multi-use as the brand strives to be minimalistic and simple. What we love about lilah B. is that it’s also a vegan and clean beauty brand. This is definitely a brand that deserves more recognition and space on your beauty shelf!
