SEPHORiA 2023: Was the Gold Key Ticket really worth it? Storytime and unboxing of Gold Key Swag Bag

[@heartsmyfaceforever8140]

The trick or treating full sized products for heavy very fast! I was appreciating the totes we brought!

[@enchantedtamara]

Same! I don't recall full-sized products from the booths in years past, so it was a nice surprise - the bags were definitely heavy, though!💋

[@leslielee1118]

Wow that bag and the samples you got from the booths are amazing. Glad you and your daughter had a fun time.

[@enchantedtamara]

Hi Leslie! Thank you! I wish you had been able to go! I am really impressed 💓with all of the full sized products given out last year!

[@enchantedtamara]

I would say the gold key ticket is amazig. You got so much value for the money. And the gifts that you received from the brands are awesome and adding to the value. I am sure you will enjoy all these goodies. Have a wonderful day and thank you for sharing, I watched until the end as always.❤

[@enchantedtamara]

Thank you, Julia! I agree - the Gold Key Ticket had an amazing value overall! I appreciate your support, friend!💕

Hi Tamara! Oh my gosh- what an experience! I’m so sorry about the hotel and club happening on only a few floors difference. I’m glad your daughter was able to figure direction out when there, but so sorry about the weather. That’s a lot! …I’m so glad to see all the goodies you got and so happy for your daughter to win the Danessa Myricks PR list for a year! This sounds like quite the experience! Very cool on the VIP lounge- having that break sounds necessary and refreshing, especially with all the lines and excitement. 💕✨ Congrats on your Makeup Forever win!! 💕✨

[@enchantedtamara]

Thank you so much, Melissa! Overall, it turned out to be a fantastic trip minus the disappointment and bad weather in the beginning. I was so happy to meet the brands and try so many amazing new products! My daughter has been in absolute heaven being on Danessa's PR list!💓

[@lorenaemerson4825]

How exciting, so many goodies! I'm glad you got to go on the second day. I've never been in person, but I did virtual Sephoria the last two years. I didn't do it this year. I would like to go in person some time, looks like a blast!

[@enchantedtamara]

Thanks Lorena! I am so happy we got to go on the 2nd day, too! There was so much disappointment with the weather and cancellations on Day 1. Are you going to Atlanta this year?💜

[@Tveit_on_the_Brain]

I enjoyed this video so much!Sephoria sounds absolutely amazing ❤. All of the products you showed sound fabulous, especially the Tatcha overnight, the Lanessa products, the Bum Bum cream, the Moroccan oil and the pre wash oil and the Tower 28 face spray. I love Nars dragon girl so much. The lounge is just what I would have needed for a little break if I’d gone. So neat! I can attest to the quality of the Sephora collection. I bought a lip product after a recommendation from a Sephora employee and I absolutely love it.

[@enchantedtamara]

Awww thank you! Sephora Collection products are seriously underrated - they are sooooo good! I am so thankful they had the lounge at SEPHORiA because it can definitely be overwhelming - I had a great time and I love these products!💓

[@BreannaHaines]

Watched danessas stories the day of!! Looked like so much fun and so exciting for your daughter to win a year of PR!!! yas you go girl!!!

[@enchantedtamara]

I am soooo excited for my daughter! And Danessa was literally the sweetest! I have no idea how she had so much energy in her booth AND did a full makeup Masterclass in the session after ours. She is legendary!💙

[@JaimeeRae]

I attended the first two SEPHORiA’s!! I cannot wait until they bring it back to LA! 🥰🛍️💕⭐️

[@enchantedtamara]

I am hoping after the flooding in NYC, they will consider moving it back to LA ... or maybe Vegas💙

[@JaimeeRae]

@@enchantedtamara VEGAS!! Such a great idea ⭐️

[@enchantedtamara]

@@JaimeeRae Wouldn't that be amazing?!😍😍

[@JuliasBBeauty]

That is amazing your daughter got in the DM PR list I am happy for both of you. I think the gold ticket was awesome. We did not get this opportunity here. So many cool products. Is great you got the ND Love palette since you don't have it. I don't think I ever had the Pillow Talk the original one. I have everything from that collection besides the eyeshadow quad.

[@enchantedtamara]

Yes! I am so happy for my daughter - I couldn't believe she won that! And Danessa Myricks is soooo sweet - I am really glad we got to meet her! I love the Pillow Talk Quad and the alternate variations I've purchased!

[@baygladney1261]

I loved this video. I hope to attend next year. I managed to order the virtual swag bag and am waiting with bated breath for that to arrive. Thank you for sharing this video. Congratulations on all of the loot you scored! 🎉🎉🎉

[@enchantedtamara]

Awww thank you so much! I hope you can attend next year! I'm also waiting for my Virtual Swag Bag - I may have peeked at a few on Tik Tok - looks like they are shipping🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@BreannaHaines]

You got a lot of goodies!! Love that ND Love face palette so pretty!! So many amazing kits too 😍💕

[@enchantedtamara]

Thanks so much, girl! I am blown away by the value of the swag bag AND all the goodies we collected at the booths! The brands were really generous💋

[@JuliasBBeauty]

Hi Tamara I am excited to hear about your story. We had a online event during Sephora but it was nothing just a few interactive games and a virtual room.

[@enchantedtamara]

Thank you so much, Julia! There is nothing like being in person. I believe they are doing an event in Paris this year!💜

[@iris_luxlover]

Loving all the products 🎉❤

[@enchantedtamara]

Thank you so much! It was such a fantastic experience!💓

[@JaimeeRae]

You also inspired me to buy the top tier pass for the next SEPHORiA 💖

[@enchantedtamara]

Yes!!! It really was worth it🩷🩷

[@themakeupnurse3419]

I wouldn't be able to do the subway by myself either lol

[@enchantedtamara]

Right?! I am so thankful my daughter has better sense of direction than I do!😆

[@heartsmyfaceforever8140]

I skipped the masterclasses too. there was no time. I like doing four sessions so I can do each one with a different goal in mind.

[@enchantedtamara]

I am still sad I only got to experience one session this time - I would have loved to go to Patrick Ta's class, but. you're right - there just wasn't time. Two or three sessions would have been optimal - four would be too much sensory overload for me - I guess by that point, we could have napped on the Sephora blocks on the second floor lol

[@heartsmyfaceforever8140]

@@enchantedtamarayeah I was overloaded after two but I know I would have been able to slow down more with all four. I didn’t even visit Fenty or CT cause the lines were closed for them everytime I went to investigate.

[@heartsmyfaceforever8140]

I think the Gold tickets are worth it! I’m mildly biased though;)

[@enchantedtamara]

I agree! I am so happy we got to hang out again at SEPHORiA this year! Did you see my IG Reel/tik tok? You might spy someone you know 😉 Miss you!!!

[@BreannaHaines]

I can’t believe your hotel was bumping at night with the club crazy they def should’ve put a disclaimer

[@enchantedtamara]

Girl - it was wild! I can't believe I was so tired I was able to sleep - lol!

[@Melissa_Rachelle]

The Moroccan Oil bag is awesome! So was the Danessa Myricks tote! There’s just so many great goodies! The Farmacy jar of honey 🍯.. so fun! I think you said the Benefit was a chocolate or candy bar (?) - the packaging is fun! 🖤🤍💗. I can see why the basic bag to hold everything wouldn’t work. That was smart to have foldable bags. Tamara! This is so cool! That’s awesome for you and your daughter!! 💕💗✨

[@enchantedtamara]

Thank you again!!! I was super impressed with all the bags they gave out and all the full sized products! I'm still in awe of how much amazing stuff we brought home!!!💜

[@JaimeeRae]

I would of hit the club on the 7th floor lol ;-)

[@enchantedtamara]

We considered it... but the line was down the street to get in 😆

[@Alicea40]

I purchased a ticket for the Friday event, second session, which was canceled. The original email said we would get the gift bag sent to us. Then the next day it said to apply for a refund. I put my information and got my money back. I am hearing we are supposed to get the gift bag but when I contact them there is no follow up email. I sent another email yesterday and hope for some clarification.

[@enchantedtamara]

Hi Linda - Same - I got my refund for session 1, but no word on the bag yet. I'm sure they have a ton to ship out - I wish they had just given me my Friday bag on Saturday. And I am so sorry you didn't get to go to your session Friday😢

[@Alicea40]

You are so right. They must have an endless amount of gift bags to mail out. Yes, they should have given you the Friday bag on Saturday. Please make a video with your second bag. I enjoy these videos. ❤

Love you, Bestie! Thank you for coming to SEPHORiA with me💋💋💋

[@leifelliottsofficialmusicc8438]

I don’t know what Sephoria is but if it’s anything like a guys version of Bass Pro you hit a goldmine 😉😙

[@enchantedtamara]

Lol - Thank you! Yes - It's basically a big makeup festival - we had a blast!💜

[@BreannaHaines]

I saw your stories sucks the first day was cancelled!!

[@enchantedtamara]

I am still sad about that! It was so disappointing to us, so I'm sure it was extra disappointing to the brands who worked so hard on the event. I also know some people who only had Friday tickets and weren't able to make it to any sessions after traveling to NYC and I feel so bad for them!

[@liseleclerciwouldlik1329]

Wow can anyone buy a ticket to go

[@enchantedtamara]

Yes!!! Tickets are on sale now for the next one in Atlanta at the end of September❤
