Over the last three months, Sephora continues to lead in search volume, but Ulta Beauty is the one breaking the curve: the term “Ulta Beauty world” has grown by +600%, a sign of expansion, global curiosity, and a positioning that is beginning to transcend its natural market.
In contrast, “Sephora sale” only rose by +50%, confirming that its traffic relies more on promotions than organic momentum.

In beauty, what really moves the needle isn’t brands, but products that generate immediate desire:
- MAC 11.11 (+4,300%) and Maybelline Cloudtopia Blush (+1,950%) prove that a well-executed launch can go viral.
- L’Oréal shampoo (+550%) and Fenty Beauty blush (+250%) show that consumers look for specific names, not generic categories.
Sephora dominates in presence, yes, but Ulta Beauty is gaining speed. And the consumer doesn’t navigate by brands: they navigate by emotion, novelty, and products with identity.
When we cross-reference real searches, interest spikes, and consumer sensitivity with technical and regulatory data, we don’t deliver information: we deliver actionable intelligence.
Those in the Private Circle are already receiving this strategic reading before anyone else. This is how we will operate at Cosmoprof: while others look at brands, we detect intent, urgency, and hidden risk.
