Like, where do you even start?

We ended up outsourcing a external agency to help us.

And a friend of a friend that worked at Sephora caught wind that I was like starting a brand.

They asked us to fly to San Francisco.

And I was like, oh my God, like this is such a...

a big moment for me because like Sephora is a brick and mortar that I have always admired.

It's a store that I've, that I shopped at.

I flew to San Francisco with our three products to present.

I was so nervous.

I came into this like boardroom and there was like 20 people in there and I presented everything that I had.

I told them my story.

I told them like my hopes and dreams.

And I left that meeting with like tears, like running down my face because like I was so happy.

I knew I was an amazing makeup artist.

I knew I had the best clients.

So like, of course you want me.

I left crying because I was just like so happy with how it all came to place.

Sephora is such an inviting company.

We ended up launching exclusively at Sephora a year and a half later.

This is like right before COVID.
