When you’re in New York you’ll struggle to walk more than a block without finding a Sephora. Yes Sephora is the holy grail shop for beauty lovers, but there is more to the big apple than this store.

If you’re planning to visit the city any time soon then make sure you hit up these beauty stores.

Target

For those of you who don’t know Target is like the US equivalent of Asda and alongside the kids toys and groceries they have a killer beauty section including budget brands such as NYX (which works out cheaper than the UK) and ELF whose budget friendly makeup performs nothing like a budget brand.

Alongside these you can pick up a lot of products that back home would cost you a lot more including my highlight purchase of Pixi’s Glow Tonic 100ml for $9 when it’s £10 over here!

Ricky’s

Ricky’s is like the US equivalent of Superdrug stocking hair dye, shampoos, accessories, make up and way more.

They’re situated all around Manhattan and each one is slightly different but you can grab Morphe, Obsessive Compulsive, Kylie’s lip plumpers and EOS lip balms for around $4!

Each store is like a treasure trove of delights so make sure you don’t miss it out.

Birchbox

You’ve probably all heard of Birchbox as a subscription beauty box but did you know that their flagship store is located in Soho, Manhattan?

The light and airy store is packed full of loads of the products you can buy online as well as a make your own box section where you can hand pick the products you’ve been looking to try to create the ultimate box.

With loads of brands on offer including ones which constantly sell out in the UK such as their in house brand Love of Color you’ll be spoilt for choice.

Bite Lip Lab

We’re sure you’ve all had that thought with every lipstick, ‘this shade would be perfect if it was a touch darker’ and ‘this one would be the holy grail if only it was matte’. Well the time has come for you to be able to choose your own lipstick and have it custom made for you.

At the Bite Lip Lab in Soho the team will mix together your perfect lipstick to ensure it’s the exact shade you want. After that it’s a choice of finish (matte being the most popular at the moment), then a choice of scent and a choice of packaging.

It might be a little pricier than a standard lipstick but well worth it for the unique factor.

Urban Outfitters

Now Urban Outfitters in the UK aren’t well known for their beauty sections but in the US it’s a whole other story with them carrying brands such as: Obsessive Compulsive, Nudestix, Anastasia Beverly Hills and the more hard to come by Lime Crime (their liquid lipsticks alone are insane) and Korean brand Tony Moly.

The store on the corner of Broadway and West 35th has one of the largest beauty ranges so make sure you don’t pass it by without a look.
