@itsfi I'm in love with.... all of you!  20 plus years later and I still love this movie!

[itsfi]

It's a classic @missjeanie! 

[heartsmyface]

@itsfi Okay, is it bad I want that dress? 

[itsfi]

 It would look great on you! You should get something like it @heartsmyface. And post to The Fit, The Fab and The Face: Outfit and Inspo Thread 

Even better if you can find a fountain to pose in front of. Oooh, recreate the scene!! 🎬 

[heartsmyface]

@itsfi  I can think of a fountain but I don’t know where to find the dress! 😓

[itsfi]

I think you could find similar pieces @heartsmyface! Check out cozyrebekah(dot)com for an article titled “Fashion Analysis: Cher from Clueless”

Hahahaha! I had no idea we were being filmed @danielledanielle. 😄

[heartsmyface]

@itsfi  It was so fast it’s hard to tell but that was indeed us!  

[itsfi]

😂🤣😂 @heartsmyface 

Must get to booth before line gets too long. hahaha!

What an amazing recap @itsfi !! It was surely an amazing and unforgettable time (again)! I cannot wait until 2025 and hopefully I can stay a couple extra days next time.

[itsfi]

@sister13 @danielledanielle this time around, I stayed an extra day after the event, leaving mid-evening. Last year, my flight out of NYC was early afternoon (but with delays, it ended up being early evening). I haven't quite figured out what is the ideal schedule for days before and days after SEPHORiA would be. I imagine that for me the destination will be a significant factor in assessing that.

edited to add - tagging @Mellmars1185 @missjeanie @heartsmyface, how did you feel about the extra days spent in Atlanta post-Sephoria? Was it enough? Not enough? Too much? 

[missjeanie]

@itsfi I was there from Thursday Mid Morning and flew out early morning Wednesday.  I do think I had enough time to see and do the things that I wanted, that said, I agree that the host city would largely dictate how long I wanted to be there.  I think next year, city dependent, I'd like to do Wednesday to Wednesday.  Gives enough time to get settled in, be ready for Sephoria on the Friday/Saturday and then I enjoy having time to do a post Sephoria Sephora shop, see some of the touristy spots and like @heartsmyface mentioned to decompress a bit after the busy busy of the event days. 

[heartsmyface]

@itsfi  I thought staying until the 2nd was perfect! The decompression was needed and having the extra time to casually hang out with the BIC family and play tourist was so much better than speed packing and jumping on a plane home.  

If I ever need to take a red eye again I will give myself an extra day before the event.  I can sleep on planes but that turbulence didn’t like my plan. 

[Mellmars1185]

@itsfi I stayed from Thursday mod morning to Monday afternoon and I thought it was a good amount of time. I had an extra day to site see and wind down. I did not feel too rushed, but I was ready to go home... except now I wish I was back 😭! 

[danielledanielle]

Saaaaame @sister13 , I need a shopping day, a sightseeing day and a buffer day.

[curlychiquita]

What a wonderful recap, @itsfi! I’m glad you had a fabulous time! 

[itsfi]

Thank you @curlychiquita! I feel as if this group of ambassadors and BIC'ers would have had a fabulous time anywhere but it was made extra special by the SEPHORiA crew! Would love for there to be a SEPHORiA to take place at a convenient date and place where other BIC'ers, including you, can attend - or be close enough that we can arrange a meet up for meal, drinks and/or a shopping trip.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with everyone @itsfi That was such a beautiful read!  It sounds like Sephoria is magical and a whole lot of fun with fantastic folks from across BIC. 💝 

I was really hoping for some stories from those who attended. Thank you so much for sharing. 😉 I feel like for those of us that didn't attend, we get to live it a little bit through your recap. Those games sound fun! How did you fare? And how awesome was it that they shared the Live's with everyone at home too see. 😃 

[itsfi]

Most of the games were such where everyone was a winner @CynthieLu. Some games involved multiple attempts. For the most part, there was a prize handed out - win, lose or draw. Of the ones where the game could best you, I lost every one of those claw machine games. Every. single. one. So, if that's ever an Olympic sport or part of a BIC Games competition, no one should pick me on their team. It would be an epic fail on your parts. 🤣 

Charlotte Tilbury set up a "strongman" carnival game - I just looked it up, it's called a high striker game - they give you an mallet and you need to strike the mallet on the plate at the bottom of a tower. Attached to the plate is a puck that when you strike the plate on which it is resting with the mallet, sends it up the tower. There's a bell at the tower. If the puck hits the bell, you win. Some say that you can let out a lot of aggression with this game. lol. Let's just say there were a couple of ambassadors who only needed one shot to hit the bell at the top of the tower. Hahaha!

The prize was this Charlotte Tilbury lip set - 

[sister13]

I was caring so many bags, I just did the mallet/bell game single handed, and nailed it first try, you just had to concentrates on the eye hand coordination! A girl in front of me hit  the platform and crushed it in, lol! But I always loved carnival games and field day! 🩷🩷💪💪 @itsfi
