ELLE Egypt took the opportunity to show appreciation for its guests through thoughtful giveaways, presenting goodie bags filled with beauty products from Weleda Egypt and Heika. These gestures not only highlighted the brand’s commitment to excellence but also strengthened connections within the vibrant community of creators and influencers.
