Color Up Close with Sephora Panel & NYC Community Meet Up

[ElleElleG]

There's something I've been DYING to tell you all 😁.  Several weeks ago @TeamBIC @reached out and asked me to rope off some dates because of a top secret event coming up that they wanted me to attend. The top secret 🕵🏾‍♀️ got me.  Little did I know that this top secret excursion was a chance to fly out to New York City to attend the Color Up Close panel. 

As the creator of the "Deeper Hues" thread, the BIC Team thought it would be fitting for me to attend. This is a great opportunity to gain insight from brand owners on diversity and inclusion within the beauty sphere AND to raise conversations we've had in and out of the Deeper Hues thread for further consideration.

The panel is set to begin a few hours time. Here are some photos from yesterday's arrival, featuring our insanely amazing hotel and a nearby attraction.Heading into Midtown

More to come later..... and did I mention that they allowed me to bring a plus one 😏.  I'll let them reveal themselves later 😁.

@ElleElleG what an exciting opportunity.  I can't wait to hear who your plus one was.

@SportyGirly125  i'm late to the party, i apologize! i was the incredibly lucky lady who @ElleElleG invited along, and clearly it didn't disappoint. i'm exhausted from having too much fun in such a short period of time, but will share more thoughts soon ❤️

[SportyGirly125]

@unfungirl how very cool of her to invite you. 

[greeneyedgirl107]

Congratulations to you, too @unfungirl !  Can't wait to hear your insights.

[ElleElleG]

Thanks @SportyGirly125 .  I'll give them a nudge, but the suspense is even killing me 🙃
