Hi Jessica ☺️ I just came across your Sephoria video and wow I’m so impressed with your content! I’m subscribed with all notifications 🔔 turned on! I’m so surprised that this video doesn’t have more likes, it’s such an in-depth informative video for people attending the Sephoria event! When you said no COFFEE ☕️ was provided that is a sin lol! I think all your suggestions and feedback are so important so you know what to do and have a plan when you’re there! I loved watching this video ❤ Now I’m going to watch your past Sephoria videos! I clearly missed this year but I’m definitely going next time!
Hey there! I'm sorry I missed your comment and am only seeing it just now. Thank you so so much for watching and sharing such a positive and encouraging comment. I really try to make videos that will help others make informed decision or just entertain you for a few minutes. Thank you again for the support. I hope you had a fantastic weekend!
Yay! I’m so excited for us! The map and other details will be posted online a few days before the event. Thanks so much for watching and please let me know if you have any more questions. I might be able to post another video or two before the event.
You should definitely tune into their social media pages the day before. Same for members of the Sephora Squad members. Last year Sephora hosted the press, influencers and Sephora Squad members the night before the event so they might do that again this year.
i’m generally a shy person, but i can speak up when needed so like how would you say it is getting the free samples/products that they give out at the booths? like is it that the booths are giving them out to anyone or you have to talk to them about their products and such. I definitely want to get the most of the time i’ll have there :)
Believe it or not, I’m very shy myself. Luckily, this event is like Halloween for beauty-loving adults. Most (like 95%) of the brands will be giving products away. It’s pretty much a given. Sure, they’ll also be trying to introduce you to products, answer brand/product questions and explain why you’ll love x y and z. But that’s an experience that’s in addition to product giveaways. Sometimes you’ll be asked to play games in exchange to win products but you don’t have to if you don’t want to, but I would encourage you to do so. Let me know if you have any other questions. Have a blast!
We were only allowed to bring a small clear bag. Sephora provided us a large shopping bag but some brands also gave us bags. Thanks for watching! Let me know if you have any more questions.
The swag bag is large and will contain full size and liquid products. I’m checking a large (half empty) suitcase to make my clothes for the weekend and have plenty of room for the gift bag and all the products we’ll get from the booths. Thanks for your watching and please keep the questions coming!
I have no idea what will be in the 2024 bag but I’ll definitely post a video sharing what I receive after I attend. Thanks for watching. Let me know if you have any other questions.
@jessicayflores I have watched this video about 6 times now. First, I want to say that your feedback about last year's Sephoria is invaluable and Sephora should be giving you something for that feedback. I bought my ticket when they offered it in the Rouge advance, the same day that they were offered since I have been waiting with bated breath and knew that it would sell out. It was discounted I think like $20 less than when it would be available for everyone else. I didn't realize his session would sell out so fast. I bought the Mario session. Now, after watching your video and others 2023 experiences, I had planned to skip the Masterclass session to visit booths. This was a low buy year for me so I want the stuff. LOL! I bought my clear purse the same week that I bought the VIP ticket so that should tell you how excited I am. I actually didnt realize that they sent an email to reserve your Masterclass seat a few days ago, and the Mario seats were sold out by the time I realized it, so I wouldn't have been able to reserve a seat anyway and that would have been a bummer for me. I will check my largest suitcase since I am flying in after work Friday night afterwork and plan on attending booths for the entire time that I am there. I dont plan on having any services done, just walking around talking to companies and getting as much products that I can. I am now watching my email for the maps so that I can take your advice to map out the booths that I really am interested in. Now, for my questions, the Masterclass session is from 10 - 2, does that mean that I get to go in at 9am since I purchased a VIP ticket? Do they give you the VIP swag bag in the beginning when you enter? How will we know where the VIP room is for refreshments? I agree with you, they can do better with snacks, and coffee should be a must. Thank you taking the time to answer my questions. I followed you because I couldn't wait to hear your experience for this year, and I think that you are awesome. You have made this first in-person Sephoria a better experience even before we get there for me. ❤
I would do a light everyday makeup look. While you’re getting a ton of products, the environment isn’t really conducive to you standing somewhere and applying those products while you’re there. Some brands will be offering some makeup touch ups and/skincare services. It just depends on what you want to do/focus on while you’re there.
Hi Jessica! Thank you so much for this video. I also have a ticket for Sephoria this year and was wondering if the bag they give us will be big enough to hold the samples we plan to get?
Last year, Sephora gave us a big Sephora shopping bag when we entered the venue but some brands gave us bags at well (you can see the giant Moroccan Oil Bag in my haul video) so it wasn't a problem.
Thank you for this video. This one will be my first. I have a VIP Ticket for Saturday morning with Mario. Does that mean I can't walk around after the morning session visiting booths for samples? Thanks again. ❤
Congratulations on getting tickets to the Mario session. That’s the one I really wanted but I hesitated to commit to traveling and they sold out. 😩 Anyway, I’m not sure what time the masterclass is (there are two per session) but you’re allowed to walk around until the end of the session. Last year I attended the Patrick Ta session which was at the very end of the session hours, so we had to exit immediately after the class was over. Thanks for watching and let me know if you have any more questions. I might be able to make another video or two before the event.
Is there any chance that the event will be canceled due to the storm? Are there weather warnings already in Atlanta? I’m supposed to fly up from Fort Lauderdale,Florida tomorrow afternoon, but don’t want to take a whole trip in potential weather if the event is going to be canceled anyway.
I haven't had a chance to check the latest weather report but if the city is hit with a tropical storm, there is always the possibility that the municipality will have some emergency shelter in place order that will force everything to shut down for a period of time. It would be in Sephora's best interest to cancel and refund ticket holders than to keep it open and potentially have people risk their safety to attend. At the end of the day, I'm sure Sephora doesn't want to cancel but it might be out of their hands. I'm hoping for the best. Wishing us all luck!
Each session is 3-4 hours depending on your ticket tier. You won’t be able to be there longer than that unless you bought a ticket for another session. You certainly doing have to be there the entire time and can leave when you want but you’ll probably need to be there for the entire session in order to have enough time to visit every booth and collect as many freebies as they’re offering. Thanks for watching! Let me know if you have any more questions.
You can enter the venue/event one hour before the doors open to general ticket holders. There are two master classes per session at different times. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for watching!
Thank you! So if I signed up for a master class on Saturday at 5 PM, but would like to enter the earlier session, but not go to the MasterClass can I do that?
I’m a little confused about what you’re asking only because the SEPHORiA terminology is a little confusing. So, let me try to answer what I think you’re asking and then you can let me know if I answered your question or if I misunderstood. SEPHORiA is a total of 4 sessions over the weekend (2 on Friday and 2 on Saturday). Each session is a ticketed event. So if you bought a ticket for the Saturday evening session but would prefer to attend the Saturday morning session, you would need to buy an additional ticket to the Saturday session. Unfortunately, all SEPHORiA sessions are sold out so you won’t be able to buy additional tickets and they won’t allow you to “switch” your session. So you’ll likely have to attend the session you originally purchased if you don’t want to lose your money because the ticket is also non-transferable. There are two Master Classes in every session. Whether you were able to reserve a spot in a master class (only available to gold ticket holders) or not, you’ll be able to attend either or both because there will be a “first come first serve” type of general line to enter.
You understood spot on. That’s unfortunate given flights do not allow me to fly in and out around that timeframe. I wish there were some flexibility where I could just switch the session I attend as a VIP
I went alone in 2018 and last year. Don't be nervous. I had a blast! No, this is a ticketed event. All the tickets sold out very quickly this year but there's always next year. :)

I am headed to ATL! Thank you for all the tips🎉 This is my first time and I am so nervous. Do you know when we get the map?
Yay! I’m so excited for us! The map and other details will be posted online a few days before the event.
Thanks so much for watching and please let me know if you have any more questions. I might be able to post another video or two before the event.
@@jessicayflores This video was amazing it just made me 10x more excited!
Omg I’m flying out tomorrow and will also be going alone!! I’m so excited!
Love this video-so helpful! This is my first time attending Sephoria :-) Do they ever post sneak peeks? I haven't seen any updates...

@@jessicayflores Okay great! I’ll definitely be playing the games for the experience :) Thank you for answering! Hope you have a great time as well!
Do you bring your own bags to fill or do they give you some?
We were only allowed to bring a small clear bag. Sephora provided us a large shopping bag but some brands also gave us bags.
Thanks for watching! Let me know if you have any more questions.
How do you fill those bags like do u have to claim or what ?
I'm flying in, what size suitcase would you recommend to check to bring back the VIP swag bag and samples? This is very informative. ❤
The swag bag is large and will contain full size and liquid products. I’m checking a large (half empty) suitcase to make my clothes for the weekend and have plenty of room for the gift bag and all the products we’ll get from the booths.
Thanks for your watching and please keep the questions coming!
Would u say most of the product similar to 2023 as I have those but how do I get idea what’s inside 2024
I have no idea what will be in the 2024 bag but I’ll definitely post a video sharing what I receive after I attend. Thanks for watching. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Are the lines very long for general ticket ? Would u say it’s worth travelling from Canada

Hi jessica .. how can we get the swag bag filled like they will gave empty bag we have to fill ourselves or what !
Hey there! You simply go from booth to booth and the brands will be handing out their items as you go around. Thanks for watching!
@ its depends on which type of ticket u own ? Like they will check the ticket right ?
Would it be best to come bare face? Does a small wrist wallet count as a bag?

where do you get the tickets
I purchased my tickets on the SEPHORiA website.
Thank you for this video. This one will be my first. I have a VIP Ticket for Saturday morning with Mario. Does that mean I can't walk around after the morning session visiting booths for samples? Thanks again. ❤

Hey.. is it necessary to stay there for the whole day??
Each session is 3-4 hours depending on your ticket tier. You won’t be able to be there longer than that unless you bought a ticket for another session. You certainly doing have to be there the entire time and can leave when you want but you’ll probably need to be there for the entire session in order to have enough time to visit every booth and collect as many freebies as they’re offering.
Thanks for watching! Let me know if you have any more questions.
So as a VIP member, I can come one hour before the master class or one hour before opening?
You can enter the venue/event one hour before the doors open to general ticket holders. There are two master classes per session at different times.
Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for watching!
Thank you! So if I signed up for a master class on Saturday at 5 PM, but would like to enter the earlier session, but not go to the MasterClass can I do that?
I assume that the only time they’re opening up sessions is during the 2 sessions

Im going alone & for the first time, Nervous 😬
Can i bring a plus one with me on my ticket?
I'm so sorry I missed your comment and am only seeing it just now. Were you able to attend? Did you have fun?
I’m glad I watched this, wouldn’t want to go. Sorry. 😭
Ok. Thanks for letting me know.
Im going alone & for the first time, Nervous 😬
Can i bring a plus one with me on my ticket?
I went alone in 2018 and last year. Don't be nervous. I had a blast!
No, this is a ticketed event. All the tickets sold out very quickly this year but there's always next year. :)
