Sephora is a paradise to every makeup lover. Sephora was first launched in 1969 and it soon became a cult favourite. It carries around 300 high-end and luxury brands, including their in-house brand. Sephora sales are the two words that are enough to send makeup lovers in a frenzy. What if we told you the sale products Sephora sells are expired and they just want to get rid of them? YouTuber by the channel name Lauren Mae Beauty brought to people’s attention that Sephora sales are a scam. Jeffree Star Hath Spoken on Kylie Jenner’s Skin Care Products: ‘Hahahahahha’.

Youtuber Lauren Mae uploaded a video on July 13 that quickly went viral. In the video, Lauren talks about her visiting the Sephora website and seeing their sale. Sounds like a beauty haul video so far. People were shocked when Lauren talked about seeing products on sale that were up to three years old. She mentions how she noticed a lot of cream products just sitting on the website even after three to four years after their launch. She discussed how Sepora comes up with sales just to get rid of the old stock that nobody wants to buy. The video sparked a lot of controversies and people took it to Reddit to discuss the matter. Move Over K-Beauty! A-Beauty Is the Latest in Thing in Makeup and Skin Care.
