Bellacara’s 22nd Anniversary Party

March is here, and spring is around the corner. I can't believe I have owned Bellacara for six months! Wow, how time flies! I want to say thank you for all the warm welcomes and special greetings, for stopping by the store with well wishes, and for all your continued support. We thrive because of you and our small but amazing team, who loves this store as much as I do.

I am so excited to continue Angela's tradition of the Bellacara Anniversary Sale to celebrate you, our loyal clients, and our beloved store, Bellacara! Cheers to 22 years! 

So, here's everything you need to know! The first 75 orders to reach $250 after the 15 percent discount will receive a swag bag. The swag bags are on a first-come-first-served basis and are available to customers shopping in-store only. We are also honoring the 15 percent discount online between the hours of 1pm and 11:59pm.

For those of you shopping in-store - SkinCeuticals, Augustinus Bader, Oribe, Westman Atelier, Dermalogica, and Revitalash will be allowed to be ordered even if it is not on the shelf. All other items will not. We will call you when these items arrive in the store after the party. We cannot guarantee a timeframe but will do our best to get them in as soon as possible. We are limiting orders for items not in stock to these lines as they have been good about keeping stock and not having prolonged backorders. Unfortunately, we cannot say the same for most other lines. Online orders are subject to what is available at the time of purchase, as our website won't allow for items to be purchased once marked "out of stock."

Bellacara's tradition, in Angela's words:

"All sales are final. They have to be… we give you big bags full of stuff, and we don't keep track of what's in each bag. We can't have people taking items out and then trying to return items from their purchase (trust me, it's been tried.) So, please don't order, don't participate, if you have any plan, thought, vague contemplation of having to return something. We won't accept it. You'll get mad. We'll be sorry, but firm. You'll write a nasty Yelp review. We'll respond that we're sorry, but our policy was clear… you get the point. Let's just not. For those of you who don't know what a swag bag from Bellacara is, well, I don't even know what to say other than what is life on Mars like? Okay, just kidding… kind of. It's literally the best gift with purchase in the history of gift with purchases… mic drop. A bag filled with deluxe samples and full-size products with a value of hundreds of dollars. You want it, trust me, you want it."

**We strongly encourage stopping by to put your list together before the Anniversary Party, especially if you plan to buy makeup! On the day of the party, we won't be offering any color matching services for foundation/concealer or assistance picking out colors for items such as blush, eyeshadow, and lipstick**

We hope you can join us on this special day, Saturday, March 12. The Bellacara team and I look forward to seeing you!

After spending over two decades as a professional makeup artist and in sales and management in the high-end retail and beauty industry, I decided to become an independent contractor and freelancer, starting my own business, Makeup By Celthia. I first came to Bellacara in 2017 as a resident makeup artist for Angela and have been here ever since. I specialize in runway, television, studio photography, corporate, commercial, bridal, beauty, editorial, print, and web advertising as a makeup professional. I was excited to take ownership of Bellacara in 2021! It truly is a dream come true! It has come full circle to provide the best beauty products and service through my favorite store, Bellacara! 

In historic Old Town Alexandria, for more than 24 years Bellacara has been Northern Virginia's preeminent boutique for high-end cosmetic, skincare, and haircare products. At Bellacara, you will find only the best product lines – Westman Atelier, Augustinus Bader, Kiehl’s, ISDIN, Dr. Dennis Gross, Oribe, Christophe Robin, Bumble & Bumble, Fresh, Molton Brown, SkinCeuticals, Clarins, Dermalogica, Kevyn Aucoin, Surratt Beauty, Fara Homidi, Kai, Trudon Eaux de Parfum, St. Tropez and many more.
