Los Angeles store opening celebration + Community meetup: Zombie Edition 💖

[ZombieMetroAnt]

Hello? 1,2, testing, testing....is this thing on? 

OH MY GAWD - I think I finally came down from cloud nine! 

I had the privilege of attending the Grand Re-Opening of the new fabulous Sephora store at The Grove...I know I won't be able to capture the amazing moments but I promise to do my very best.  

I knew the day was going to be magical when they let me in the store before anyone else could come in - I've always dreamed of this moment!  

@JeffreyBD was already there, working hard setting up our stations He was so incredibly thoughtful, not only did he print out our profiles, to make it easier for us to take copious notes, but he also gave each of us vintage earrings and a *kiss* stamp, his signature adieu 💋

 

Then we promptly got started!  Let me tell ya, when Jeffrey is at work - he means business   using the gorgeous @KatieBT , we started our very own lesson:

  

And the ever so talented @MyieshaBD  was showing us some amazing tips in between takes...check this out - this is the same eyeshadow, just different primers (MIND BLOWN!)

So, if that wasn't enough, we also got a gift card before the start of the event and were able to shop a bit before we headed out to the center of The Grove and took some adorable videos at their pop up photo studio  

      

But wait, there's more! we go back to the store where we are given a private tour of Orange Twist!  As if that wasn't enough, we get goodie bags on the way out - say what?!  

          

And then we get to do more shopping with another Sephora Gift Card that was gifted to us and we also got to spin the wheel of fortune (check out @meganlisa 's fabulous spin!) and then as we are walking out, we get another goodie bag!!!  

      

My poor heart can't take this...it's so freaking awesome...the day only gets better...

we then go off to lunch at a super luxe restaurant  

              

  ...where @CarolBT & Katie gifted us with more holiday surprises    

I think this is where I fainted and then ended up in the clouds. Needless to say, it was a very, very, good day!  I had an absolute blast with fabulous folks and will forever be grateful for this opportunity!

  

The swag was, as you can imagine...insane!

@ZombieMetroAnt  Oh wow, what an absolutely amazing event. I really loved getting to see the videos. The swag bag is so fabulous, and I would love to hear about those primers. I never realized different types could make that huge of a difference. Thank you so much for sharing. And that is one beautiful Sephora!!!

You know, @PrettyPaint , I'm kicking myself for not asking Myiesha what they were Although, she did say there was a youtube video about this on Sephora's YT channel...better go look that up

@ZombieMetroAnt  Oooh I'll definitely try to figure it out as well. Thanks!
