About the card

Sephora Gift Cards apply across Sephora's physical stores and online catalogue — skincare, makeup, fragrance, plus the in-house brand. The recipient picks, which removes the awkwardness of guessing skin tone, formula or fragrance.

In France Sephora is a long-standing CSE chèque-cadeau partner, so the card slots into URSSAF-recognised events (€200 per event in 2026). In Germany and the UK Sephora qualifies as an in-kind closed-loop card under Sachbezug and trivial benefits respectively.

We route the correct national Sephora card per recipient — Sephora France, Germany, UK and US — and consolidate the bulk order on one invoice.
