#sephorasquad Launch Party in L.A.

I spent the last few days in L.A. to attend the Sephora Squad Launch Party!  The trip was a total whirlwind, but it was an incredible experience!

Of course the first thing I did upon arriving was make a quick trip to the Mothership!  I was able to resist buying anything since the sale starts next week, but I swatched and sampled to my heart's content:

I stayed at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, rumored to be haunted by Marilyn Monroe, which made the trip feel even more glamourous!

P.S.  I approve of their choice of toiletries in the guest rooms!;)

The venue for the launch party was the Sephora Studio in Hollywood, which was decorated with the cutest details, perfect for photo opps!

There were cocktails and mocktails, small bites and desserts circulating, but I was too excited to eat!

I stink at small talk, so I decided not to indulge my introversion and jumped in to meet my fellow Squad members and the team who made this all possible.  Everyone was really nice!  I just wish I had taken more pics with the other squad members, but there is always next time!

I was starstruck to meet Nabela and Cax, as they are two of the most inspirational and beautiful women I follow on social media - I quickly discovered they are also very down-to-earth and super sweet!

I also got to chat with @JeffreyBD and @MyieshaBD (a.k.a. Sephora Royalty) 🙂 :

Overall, the night was a truly magical experience and I am so happy that I got to meet so many amazing people - I cannot wait until I get to see the Squad again!

Thank you, @ShortErica !  I am learning so much from the other squad members - they are amazing!💗

Re: #sephorasquad Launch Party in L.A.

@Tamara76 is there a time commitment, like you are a Sephora Squad member for a year? If so, after it’s “done” a Top 10 Tricks I Learned would be a great post. Just some ideas.. 🙂

Re: #sephorasquad Launch Party in L.A.

@ShortErica We started a little late in the year, so I believe we’re only in the squad until the end of 2019, but yes, that may be something to consider!  Thanks again for all your support!💗
