Hey Beauties!

On Sunday, I attended my first BlushPretty Beauty Board! It was ah-mazing,and so well organized. There was food, drinks, a DJ, and amazing brands like pure+simple, Cheeky Monkey, and Eco Tools to name a few.

I got to meet some really sweet gals, waved hello to a few familiar faces, and because I left early, I missed some ladies I would have loved to have seen again. Until next time girls!

When I arrived at the event, vendors were all set up and ready to start selling and providing information! Music was playing, food was being served. It was just a really great time and I can’t wait to attend another.

We also got to be Beauty Editors for the day! We received little cards with the names of each brand in attendance labeled on them. We went around testing, reviewing, and buying products. We wrote down what we thought of each brand or product, handed it in before we left and received an AWESOME swag bag! I couldn’t wait to get home and tear it apart.

Before we get to the contents of the swag bag, here are a list of retailers that were in attendance:

• Consonant Body: 100% natural skincare products. No parabans, sulfates, phthalates, and petroleum ingredients
• Cheeky Monkey: Environmentally safe, and 3-Free nail polish. Naughty, edgy, and fun!

Featherband was my favourite retailer!

Pure+Simple was offering complimentary facials!

I should have bought a Cheeky Monkey polish or two. They’re so pretty!
