CLOSED: Attention BIC: SEPHORiA Contest from 9/7 - 9/13

[KatieBT]

The contest is now closed, thank you for entering!

 

Hey BIC! I know that many of you have been talking about the SEPHORiA event in LA this October 21-22 and some of you are already planning on going. I know it may not be doable for everyone to purchase tickets so we were able to get our hands on some tickets reserved exclusively for Community members.

Interested in learning how to win free tickets to SEPHORiA? Then keep on reading…

We are working with Team SEPHORiA on a contest where you, our US and Canadian Community members, can enter to win a free Gold House Key SEPHORiA ticket (Session 2) for you and a guest of your choosing. Session 2 will include the After-Dark Party featuring special guest DJ, glitter dance floor, and three bars offering custom cocktails. You’ll also have access to learn from Charlotte Tilbury, Natasha Denona and Priscilla Ono from Fenty Beauty!

Community members can enter to win one time between 9/7 – 9/13 but please note that winners will need to fund their own travel and hotel expenses.

If you want to enter, please reply to this thread and let us know…

1. The theme of SEPHORiA is “house of beauty” so there will be different rooms with different themes (think a Lip room, a Beauty Kitchen, etc.). If you could create your own room in a house of beauty, what would YOUR ideal beauty room be like? This can be anything from activities to the smell.. Have fun with it!
2. For the second part of your entry, you must describe why you would be a great SEPHORiA reporter representing the Community. If chosen as the winner, you will be designated to report back to the Beauty Insider Community -- the FOMO is going to be so real. This can be anything from your love of Community to your photo-taking skills. (Side note: you don’t need any fancy skills or equipment to report back so don’t worry about that!) 

This is a contest, so your answers will be judged on the following criteria:

• 33% Creativity
• 33% Originality
• 33% Practicality / Feasibility

The official contest rules* are attached to this post so be sure to read those before entering. We will select  winners by the end of next week. I can’t wait to hear all of your ideas, good luck to all who enter!

EDIT: Thank you to everyone who entered the SEPHORiA Contest! We loved reading your ideas for your own SEPHORiA beauty rooms! We were also touched by your explanations for why you wanted to represent the BIC at the event. Needless to say, this was a very difficult decision to make and there were a few hiccups along the way but we have sorted through the legal process and confirmed a list of SEPHORiA attendees.

They all know who they are now but I wanted to share the news with everyone so we could give a big congratulations! In no particular order, the five contest winners who will be attending SEPHORiA are @darkiceis, @ElleElleG, @NotCrocker, @jazmineshepard and @Tamara76!  Send your favorite meme or GIF to congratulate them!

I want to apologize for the conflicting information in this thread. Because of our oversight, we will also be sending @KNC24 tickets to SEPHORiA as well. Thank you to everyone for being vigilant and for flagging these discrepancies. It truly takes a village. 🙂

I'm so excited for this weekend. Thank everyone for the congrats. I plan of showing amazing pics. I plan on attending the Priscilla Ono masterclass. I am excited to share what I learn. Not sure if I can take photos during the class because I want to be respectful to Priscilla. Can't wait to meet community sisters as well.

Thanks to all who I legit can't list because of tagging limitations! I have been so sick the last week and a half and am still trying to claw my way out of this cold, but I am so darn excited to rep BIC in a couple weeks AND to meet all the other folks going! 

There are cooler celebratory dancing gifs out there, but I know my lane:
