Expo Exposé: Beauty Convention Thread

[danielledanielle]

Hey 👋🏽 

So, Sephoria has a special place in my heart 🫶🏽, but.. sometimes the heart wants what it wants...

 

I posted some Hauls from this year's "The Makeup Show" (which is also happening in September) and Ulta had its first bout, Ulta Beauty World.  Thought this would be a good place to share our thoughts, any tea and feedback on these conventions. 

(Pop ups also welcomed - feel free to share dates and experiences on those, too)

Feel free to post photos, upcoming events and impressions.  Give me all the tea ☕

That's what I am saying (about the merch) @makeitup305 !  I am a sucker for a bag charm as of late.

They usually have Merch if you're a CC holder,  and I think last year they had trucker hats (as a game prize? I forgot), so merch is there, but I would have loved to have like a sweatshirt with the lips logo that said Sephoria 2024 or a tote.  The Makeup Show sells totes and merch for their event, I didn't cave, but it was cute!

I think if you spend an hour in a Sephora, you'd love an expo, but it definitely needs to have a balance of things for you to really enjoy it.  I love and enjoy Sephoria because of the company I had, the energy of a lot of the workers and some of the brand reps, that makes it...and of course the swag...but there's so much potential for it to evolve, so I am hoping something changes.

@danielledanielle I hate the Sephoria logo but they should sell a tote that looks like a Sephora bag. I remember there were some freebies or gwp like that foreeeeever ago. You used to be able to get umbrellas and totes from the bazaar or with promos. Charms would be a great option. Like a lipstick with Sephoria written on the tube and the year on the back or something.
