Make Up For Ever Makeup Bag Remix Event in San Francisco

Yesterday I attended the Make Up Forever Make Up Bag Remix Event in San Francisco at the Stonestown Galleria. I first heard about it from Musing's of a Muse and immediately signed up!

What I wore:

Jacket: Gmarket, Shirt tunic & Bag: Zipia, Leggings: Forever 21, Shoes: thrifted

People bring their makeup bag and the makeup artists show them how to use the items. I focused on my gel eyeliner, contour powder, and the L'oreal Caresse Wet Shine Stain. The makeup artist who did my makeup helped me out with all of that and more! I learned so many new tricks and tried items from Make Up For Ever.

I took an After picture at the event!

Hours after the event when I got home. I don't know why I was posing with my hand -__-. 

I purchased their new Pro Finish powder along with the makeup bag. I posted my After picture on Facebook and got a free mascara!

Overall it was a great event! I'm so glad I went. I learned so much about my own products as well as Make Up For Ever products. It gave me a new view of Make Up For Ever and now I appreciate it even more.

Nordstrom's Cosmetic Trend Show 2012

I attended Nordstrom's Cosmetic Trend Show two weeks ago. I found out about the show when I went to the MAC counter in Nordstrom's. The show featured the new spring trends (coral, glowing skin, etc.). It was my first time going and we received a coral tote bag with a few samples. I was kind of bummed that we didn't get more samples. Inside were cards that we were supposed to bring to the counter to get free samples, but I was too lazy lol. We also got free Kara's Cupcakes! 

All in all, it was okay. The presenters were pretty much trying to sell us their products. The only product I was interested in was Smashbox's BB cream. I went to the counter to test it out and they have a good range of colors. The only problem was that it's 1oz. for $39. Yeah, not going to spend $39 on a tiny BB cream when I can get a bigger size for cheaper and with more skincare benefits.

Here are the samples I received:

I'm happy I did go to the Laura Mercier counter to grab this:

I can't wait to try this out! It leaves a lovely sheen.
