In celebration of its 20th anniversary this year, cosmetics chain Sephora will be launching an interactive two-day beauty conference by the name of 'Sephoria.' The experiential event will be taking place in Los Angeles, California, this year in October and it promises attendees everything from hot beauty brands, custom products and services to one-of-a-kind swag and selfie moments.
Deborah Yeh, Sephora's SVP of barketing and brand says that: "We've drawn from our deep understanding of the kinds of physical and digital beauty experiences clients love from Sephora, and set out to create the ultimate event that fuses fun, education and inspiration, and gives our community a place where they can live out all of their beauty fantasies."
Naturally, those who are Sephora Beauty Insiders, VIBs or Rouge members will find themselves in luck with access to special offers for the event.
