    I am an HKG Resident for the last past 30 years and a VIP card Sephora N*331003179487 and I am surprised not ti have received any of the Opening invitation to which I will be delighted to attend.
    By the way do you carry the new Nail Varnish Sticker which I just brought in Paris last week?
    I will appreciate your quick reply
