Hello everyone! Hope you guys had a great week! Now it's time for us to unwind for the upcoming weekend. Yay! I had quite a Thursday as I had to run to 3 drugstores just to get a prescription fulfilled for my brother. Aigoo. Such a headache, but everything worked out in the end. Oh, and while doing so, if you guys saw my tweet, there were these high school girls who basically took up the make-up section, sitting on the ground, opening up the lipsticks and lipglosses. Ew. -shivers- Kids these days...I swear.
Anyways! On a much, much happier note. I'm here to share with you guys my recap of Birchbox's First Anniversary event! It was held last evening at the Smashbox Studio in LA and was free for Birchbox subscribers. I'm not a Birchbox subscriber (though I do look forward to seeing what people get in their Birchboxes...is that weird? lol), but my good friend, Kristine is! She forwarded me the email invite and I told her we should check it out! So we did.
My outfit for the night. Wore my brown suede heeled boots. Woot.
Candy bar! Along with somes strawberries on the side. This area was almost completely wiped out by the end of the night. (Guilty. Tried to take an much candy as I could back home with me.)
Guests lining up to be "touched-up"/made over by the pros of Smashbox!
Towards the back of the studio space was where celebrity photography Stephen Khan took head shots for the guests. To the right were Smashbox products that the MAs were using that were available for purchase.
Wee. There's me.
The little complimentary cocktail bar.
Oooh, glowing. I'm easily amused.
The pink tables for guests to stand at. DJ in the back who rocked the night!
Trying to get an "aerial" view.
Smashbox MAs working their magic.
My non-alcoholic cranberry juice. :3 I don't drink...because I can't. (That's for another story...lol)
The MA whose hair was "out of this world". So space-y!
Our MA that touched us up with some blush and contour!
Overall, I had a great time! It was my first time attending such a beauty event along with fellow beauty gals. Even though I'm not (yet) a subscriber of Birchbox, going to this gave me incentive to join in on their monthly subscription! They seem like a great company and have come quite a ways this past year. I feel like they will continue to grow throughout the years in the beauty community. AND, I have a greater appreciated for Smashbox. I do have some of their limitless eyeliners, which I still do like to use, but they've got me looking further into what products they have to offer. Oh no! Bank account...watch out!
Thank you for inviting me, Kristine! (Do check her blog out if you haven't already.) I'm glad we decided to go and check it out. Definitely an upgrade for our fail attempt at FNO, right? And with a box of goodies to go along with it. (And inspiring us to contour + blush some more!)
Birchbox x Smashbox was kind enough to provide all guests with a complimentary Birchbox to take home! Seeing that this is my first Birchbox EVER, here are some pictures of my un-opening:
Wrapped so nicely! Loving the colors.
How cute! Mini versions of: Limitless Eye Liner in "Onyx" (I have a bigger mini size of this and I do like it), Limitless Long Wear Lip Gloss SPF 15 in "24/7", Bionic Mascara in "Jet Black", and a small tube of Photo Finish Luminizing Foundation Primer.
Trying to get a better look at my FOTD w/contour:
The "NAKED" palette. Yay for soft, smokey-eyes. :]
