Sunday is already enjoying the perks of her new gig, especially the influx of products. Her must-haves includeComfort Hand CreamandL’absolu Rouge Lip Balm. I have to keep them both on deck, they’re my essentials and I’m devastated if I leave the house without them.”
At the event, she delivered an emotional speech in which she said, “Somebody somewhere said, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And I am fortunate enough to have people in this room who have beheld me from the minute I was alive. And there are folks present, who continue to behold me with such love, and pride, and joy, and support in their hearts. Thank you.”
Sunday continued, “we are all beholders. So I think that means, beauty is everywhere. Beauty is universal. We can all see it, or we can all feel it, and we can all be it. And I am so, so ready and excited so share this vision with the world alongside Lancôme.”
