Hair inspired by a Birchbox Tweet!

I follow Birchbox on twitter and a couple of days ago they tweeted a picture of a braid they did on a girl.  I was instandly inspired and immediately tried to re-create it.  It's actually pretty simple to do-I parted both sides of my hair in "pigtails" then I begain a french braid about halfway down my head on one side finishing the braid about halfway to the end of my hair and fastened with a rubber band.  I did the same on the other side and fastened.  Then I grabbed both braids and pulled the elastics off the ends and parted my hair to do a normal braid all the way down.  It was fast and I thought it provided a unique look.  Check it out, hope you like it!

The final look!

Introduction and first post - Smashbox Event!

This blog is well overdue.  I think this will be a wondeful forum to share my hauls, reviews and observations in general.  I am a beauty product junkie since I was a small child.  Strap in for the ride because I think this will be fun.

Let me do a post about my recent adventure.

I had the wonderful opportunity to attend the Smashbox and Birchbox event in LA last night! The evening included wonderful cocktails and hors d'oeuvres and to top it off they had a candy bar!

As well, they had a good selection of makeup to swatch and purchase and a team of Smashbox marketing associates to answer any of your questions. The night also included a makeover by fabulous Smashbox Makeup artists and you had the option of getting your picture professionally taken and a CD copy of the photo for yourself.

I have to say that the studio was nothing short of amazing and Birchbox pulled together a wonderful goodie bag with deluxe size samples for everyone to take home.

Thank you Smashbox and Birchbox for pulling together a wonderful event!

My purchases - I haven't tried many Smashbox products, so this will be interesting!
