Sephora’s 15th Birthday Party!

06/17/13 | Beauty, birthday, Kate Spade, makeup, Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, Sephora, Urban Decay

On Friday afternoon I was invited to help celebrate Sephora’s 15th Birthday at their Union Square location.  As Sephora is not only one of my favorite makeup stores but it is one of those stores I can walk into and I call my “happy place” being able to help them celebrate their birthday was amazing.

The event was one of the best I have been to in quite some time.  Here is a run down: I was greeted by VERY attractive waiters carrying Chandon champagne and flavored water. After a preliminary lap around the store I figured out there were five stations at with the help of my ever faithful Michael Kors watched planned to visit each one.  I made it to four: 
  • I learned about St. Tropez tanning products and had a great demonstration 
  • I had my Urban Decay eye makeup done and she even convinced me to pick a glittery shade which worked out well for girls night! 
  • I had my signature Marc Jacobs fragrance selected for me and received a manicure reflecting my top two choices 
The event was absolutely terrific, thank you so much for having me!
Ps. I did not include a shot of the Fufetti macaroons because they did not do them justice!
