Hello BIC! Allow me to introduce myself...

[LexBT]

BIC! WHAT IS UP!?

My name is Alexa, but most call me Lex, and I joined Sephora a little over a month ago. I’ve been living in San Francisco working in tech, most recently managing  communities in the wild, wild world of cryptocurrency. Needless to say, I am SO excited to join you and my new homies @KatieBT @BrendaBT @ShiraBT and @VivianBT on this beauty adventure. 

A bit about me: I inherited my beauty product obsession from my mom, who always has her pulse on the new and trendy in beauty, fashion, and wellness. I grew up in the Bay Area here in California where I get my hippie sensibilities, including an obsession with ingredients, wellness, and lazy-girl beauty. But don’t let the locale fool you! When the weekend comes around, I TURN UP the glam from head to toe. Like many of you, I also have a bit of a bicoastal beauty perspective. I lived in New York for seven years and am well-versed in the art of humidi-beauty (a.k.a. what to do when you sweat your face off on the E train). I’ve tried almost every beauty trend in the book – the good, the bad, and the #fails – and have always been the go-to in my crew when we’re getting dolled up, whether it be prepping my friends’ faccias for first dates or nailing a festival look.

What else can I tell you? Hmmm… I’m a curly girl, rosacea queen, self-proclaimed greasy donut with a penchant for self-indulgent skincare. I’m on a constant quest to find the balance between owning my stuff while also appearing less red and shiny 🙂 Oh, and I’m getting married this year! Fellow bridezillas: advice welcome. Please and thank you.

Anyway, I’ve already learned so much from lurking around - can’t wait to share my recent haul based on YOUR holy grail recommendations! - and am so excited to hang with you. 

**What is your #1 beginner tip? GO!**

Hi @LexBT!  So nice to meet you!  I hope you love BIC as much as we do! ❤️ 

My #1 tip on BIC is to hang out with us more and have fun!  I love when the mods comment on our posts and share their own tips and experiences.  I don't have as much time to spend here as I used to, but enjoy hanging out and I've met some seriously amazing friends in this forum! ❤️ 

Congrats on your upcoming wedding thank you for joining us here! ❤️

[LexBT]

Love this tip! Thank you.

@LexBT  Welcome to the BIC!! And congratulations on the upcoming wedding! (One suggestion, concentrate on your marriage,  not the wedding!!😘)  My #1 advice has always been sunscreen!! I  wish I had started using it earlier! And good luck with controlling the oil. There are so many great products now to help with that problem! Again, welcome!!😁

[LexBT]

Marriage, not wedding - GOT IT! I made need that reassurance later. Thank you!
