In partnership with Sephora, Instacart is introducing same-day beauty deliveries in as fast as an hour from virtually all Sephora stores across North America. This means that consumers can quickly purchase and receive makeup, skincare, haircare and more at the same prices that are offered in-store.
The partnership between Sephora and Instacart promises to be especially enticing to Beauty Insider program members, as every Sephora order placed on the Instacart marketplace gives them the chance to earn points.
Already, consumers rely on Instacart for a variety of household items but this new partnership goes beyond grocery and pantry staples and helps Sephora customers quickly receive the personal care, wellness and beauty products they need from over 300 curated brands.
