Feel Unique was the destination of thousands of beauty and health products from hundreds of major brands.
The website offered an extensive range of skincare, makeup, haircare and fragrance products.
But shoppers will now have to take their basket elsewhere as bosses announced it is closing forever.
A statement on its official website read: “After 19 years of Feelunique, we’re sad to say we’ll be closing.
“Since 2005 we’ve aimed to bring you a beauty space you can call your own – somewhere you can let your unique selves shine.”
The huge retailer confirmed it will officially be saying goodbye on 3rd April 2024.
However, loyal customers have just a matter of weeks to snap up their products.
They added: “And we’re sad to be going – but you can still shop all your favourites and use your existing rewards vouchers until April 2, 2024.
“Thank you for sharing this journey with us. We’ve loved every second, and we hope you have too.”
But not everything is lost for makeup enthusiasts.
Feel Unique previously announced the store will be taken over by Sephora.
On October 17, the company became sephora.co.uk – with the brand’s unmistakable black and white stripes.
Sephora bought the online beauty retailer for a whopping £132 million back in September 2021.
Bosses confirmed the company will be in hands of the French retailer as it steps into the UK for the first time.
At the time, Martin Brok, President and CEO of Sephora said: “The transaction is a key step in Sephora’s European growth strategy and marks a first step for Sephora’s presence into the United Kingdom.”
Shoppers will be able to buy the best names in beauty, with a stellar line up including Tarte Cosmetics, ILIA, Makeup by Mario, ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr, GXVE by Gwen Stefani, Skinfix, Vegamour, and Sephora’s own Sephora Collection.
Sephora will also launch their coveted Sephora App at the same time.
The app will make it easier than ever for shoppers to discover the frankly huge, and unrivalled selection of premium brands from make up, fragrance, skincare, haircare and wellness.
It comes as Boots announced it was pulling down the shutters for the final time on three branches.
The closures come as part of wider plans that will see the retailer’s total shops reduced from 2,200 to 1,900.
Elsewhere, thousands were left gutted as The Body Shop gears up to close a major service after 30 years.
The health and beauty retailer, which last week collapsed into administration, is winding down its “At Home” service for good today.
