OUR VERDICT
Target Beauty

Best for: Shoppers who want to grab drugstore staples and a few prestige picks in the same errand — especially those already shopping at Target weekly who want to add Ulta Beauty brands to their cart without a separate trip.

Shop Target Beauty
Space NK

Best for: Shoppers hunting for European or indie prestige brands — like Biologique Recherche or Aesop — that aren't stocked at Sephora or Ulta.
