I got an exclusive Sephora VIP goody bag worth over £1,000 - here's everything inside

I am a lover of all things beauty and probably spend too much money on skincare, haircare and makeup products. So, when I was invited to the VIP Party for Sephora for Liverpool, I almost choked.

Of course, I didn’t think being invited to the launch meant I would be bagging any freebies but I was just honoured to even be asked to be part of the celebrations.

Around 230 people were invited to the party on Wednesday evening (May 21), including many beauty influencers, local journalists and national journalists, and the celebrations were hosted by Liverpool’s very own Danny Beard.

Even watching the Scouse icon walk in was enough to have me fangirling, so when I got to watch him perform pop hits about a metre away from me, I couldn’t breathe. We were also treated to drag acts, a DJ set from Liverpool TikToker Billie Clements and dances from House of Suarez, as well as bubbly and canapes.

Myself and my colleague Emily were given a wristband when we walked in and later realised these meant we were eligible for a famous VIP goody bag. We headed up to the till area after a couple hours of mingling, dancing and eating, and almost passed out when we were both handed HUGE Sephora bags filled with more than 40 items.

I am aware of just how lucky I am to have received such a generous gift from Sephora and have already begun sharing it out with friends and family. But, I made sure to jot down everything we were given at the launch.
