Generation Beauty by Ipsy Day 2 - Friends, Networking, Red Lobster, Shopping

So I thought the event on Sunday started at 10am.. but I was wrong it actually started at 9sm. So I was a little later then I expected getting out of the house. It was ok, I got there grabbed my sneak peak challenge paper, filled it out in like 30 seconds and ran over to claim my prize. They gave us one of the older makeup bags from months past at Ipsy and some makeup products. I was super happy because I ended up with 2 bags I didn't have so yippee.

I then met up with some of my new friends and helped them get there sneak peek goodie.

I went over to the Sheer Cover booth and when the Makeup Artist saw me she grabbed me and told me she wanted to do my makeup, so I let her and she gave me some goodies. I can't wait to play with them. Yay.

I ran around talked with different bloggers, vloggers, vendors. I had a fabulous time. Finally the time came for our Happy Hour. I split the tickets with my mother and we ran around getting all the goodies. I was super excited. SOHO ran out of brushes, but they are mailing us brushes so I am excited to get them.

Here are some pictures of the area and the gift goodies

And all my goodies

Generation Beauty by Ipsy Day 1 : Friends, Idols, Gifts and More.

So sadly this is not up today on Saturday. It will be posted on Tuesday night, I left my camera in the car of my partner.. so no pictures. Let me tell you though, today was amazing. I am so blessed that the community is so overwhelming welcoming, friendly, helpful and just in general awesome. I spent so much time talking to other bloggers, vloggers, makeup lovers about my passion. I couldn't be happier in a place like this. It's so exciting and amazing and I am so glad I got the chance to be a part of this event. I look forward to next years.

I got to the event extra early and met up with some of the other ipster's I met yesterday and we ran around and completed the Treasure Hunt. It was a quick time, but the prize pay out was wonderful. I really want to show off todays bag of prizes. I can't believe the amount of stuff that they gave to us. I was a bit worried at first about the event but just today really made it for me. It was such a wonderful experience and I still have a day to go.

I walked around and talked to all the vendors, talked with attendees, let me mother get her makeup done by Pixi (she looked beautiful). Then I watched Michelle Phan talk a little bit. (She would be the founder of Ipsy and a beauty guru).

I then went and sat down and waited for my makeunder with Bare Minerals, they were giving away a full size foundation and foundation brush for getting your makeup done. I was over the moon. It was a $57 value.. WOW. The Foundation runs $29 and the brush $28. The best thing is I was just looking at getting a brush just like this, this weekend. Now I am set, and that money can go to other things like, more makeup, lol.

Amazingly I got to meet both the creators of LimeCrime and SugarPill. I was beyond excited. Doe came over because she loved my dress and asked to take a pic with me. Squeal. Amy commented on the picture of her and I that she wanted my dress, made my day more then I can say.

I had an amazing time and I can't wait for the next event.

Here are some photos of the different booths as we walked in.

The last picture was my mother getting her makeup done over at the Pixi Booth.

Here is the freebies I got from the event.

Generation Beauty May 31st Registration and Fabulous People

So today was the first day of a great event being held in L.A. this weekend called Generation Beauty. It is a meeting of Beauty bloggers, vloggers, lovers and industry professionals. I am so excited for the line up tomorrow. Today was our meet and greet with other attendees and registration.

I stopped at the mall before driving out to LA and got my free Lacie Thong from Victoria's Secret, a sample of Smashbox's CC Cream, and a baggie of samples from MAC. (I know I couldn't believe it when MAC gave me samples, I didn't know what to do). I was a happy camper for sure.

So we drove to LA, my only complaint is parking is too high in LA. I had to pay $15 for 3 hours. But that is life in LA. We went over to the Yard House to meet up with a large group of gals.

I think the internet is just a fabulous thing. I mean I met today 20+ girls today all because we share common interests and we all were looking to network and make friends, and we all use facebook. I think it's just awesome that I live in a time that it is possible to do such a thing.

I had a blast at the Yard House, we ate and talked and got to know each other and then took some pictures. I will be posting a ton of pictures from the event this weekend.

I also will share all the different places you can look up these lovely ladies, youtube channels, twitters, and blogs.

Our makeup community is so wonderful. We help each other out and it's so neat that we can all come together like this.
