Sephora has announced it will be handing out a limited number of exclusive treats to shoppers who visit its brand new Trafford Centre store on its opening day. The giant beauty retailer will open to the public next Thursday (May 16) making it its third UK store.

The French multi-national retailer, which is hugely popular in the US, decided to open the Manchester store after it emerged as the most frequently requested city for the next location by the brand's passionate beauty customers.

A large billboard has been placed where the store will be located in the Trafford Centre. The tagline states: "Manchester, you called it."
