#ttfn

Hi everyone,

 

It is with great ambivalence that I report I’m leaving Sephora. I’m moving with my family to Australia. I am excited for the opportunity (my husband got a cool job), but saddened that I will not see you virtually on an ongoing basis.

 

Sephora has been an unexpected, deeply satisfying place to work. I am so proud of the Beauty Insider Community and cannot wait to see how it grows. I am sincerely impressed by the joyous, uncynical and passionate way you relate about beauty. You taught me: Beauty is universal. It unites. It cuts across. Because of our mutual love for all things beauty (and unicorns), the Sephora BIC truly is this is the nicest place on the internet.

 

I have many wonderful memories of serving as Sephora’s Chief Community Officer for the last two years, and most of them can be expressed in images. Below please find a selection of my high points, one notable one was our launch party in LA last summer when I got to meet @michelleshops @malday, @jemly, @TopazBeth, @Gwenhwyfar, @ZombieMetroAnt, @angel7495 in person, to name a few. Also many thanks to @veronika23 and those who I didn’t meet in person but spoke to on the phone. Y’all are as lovely IRL as you are online! Interacting with all of you will be my fondest memory of all.

Re: #ttfn

You have been such a great asset to the Sephora community! You will truly be missed! @ShiraBT

Re: #ttfn

RE: #ttfn

The fabulous @DinaPRO created a going away look for me and I LOVE IT!

Re: RE: #ttfn

Such a gorgeous look! 

Re: RE: #ttfn

You look really beautiful, @ShiraBT!

Re: RE: #ttfn

I LOVE these colours!!! You look so beautiful @ShiraBT!! The purple eyeshadow is so eye catching 😍💕💜 @DinaPRO did a lovely job! 

Re: #ttfn

 @ShiraBT wishing you the best of luck on your next big adventure! In addition to llamas, mermaids, and unicorns, perhaps we should also adopt BIC kangaroos in honor of our members Down Under? Don't be a stranger on here Shira, it'll be fun to see your perspective as someone who's been on both sides of the screen, as it were.

Re: #ttfn

@LCResz While I am supportive of the kangaroo adoption, I'd like to put in a bid for koala adoption into the BIC fam. Fluffy like the softest Shiseido cotton (vaguely shaped like a beauty blender (see example below)), eucalyptus-scented, energy level that I share after a long week of work, a true appreciation of the value of beauty sleep, and just the gosh-darn cutest. IMG_5594.jpg

 

 

 

Re: #ttfn

Wonderful wonderful Shira Princess of Power! You are a class act and you will be missed. Looking forward to seeing you take Australia (yes, the country and the continent) by storm. You were an awesome boss and are an even more awesome person. Your love and passion for Community and specifically our BIC'ers is inspirational. And you give great costume. 

 

xoxo from Seattle (hi guys!),

Re: #ttfn

@ShiraBT I am so excited for your family on this big adventure! What a huge move! So sad to see you go though! You are a wonderful part of our community and it has been so great getting to see your personality shine through in all your posts and interactions with us! Thank you for being a great connection, for listening to all our concerns, helping us sort through this transition, and for being as cute as a button!
