"WE CAME, WE SAW, WE CONTOURED," Sephora said in a Facebook post.
"#SephoraQueenSt is officially open and we are so excited to finally have a store in NZ. Our store closes at 6pm tonight, so come by to shop the best in beauty."
Some had been waiting in line since around 9pm on Friday for a chance to grab goodies. Sephora said the first 500 customers through its doors would get a free Zoeva Premiere Eyeshadow Palette.
Sephora ambassador Annalee Kemsley told Newshub she's never seen anything like this from the beauty community.
"We have a cult following of make-up lovers here in New Zealand so its a pretty big deal," she says.
"We've been waiting for a very long time for Sephora to hit our shores."
