I made it to LAX on a flight that was too early for me! I was concerned about dressing appropriately (transitioning between rainy,cool weather and warm West coast sun), how efficiently did I pack my makeup and anxious for all things beauty to begin! It had been so long since I've jet set between destinations. Naturally, as soon as my luggage dropped from the carousel, I checked to see if my compacts and powders had arrived unharmed...Whew! Everything was in tact. My lips survived not reapplying my favorite gloss and my face didn't dry. Aahh, finally LA! Where else is a better place to experience our passion of makeup? I arrived too early for our evening event, but too late for the Beauty Tour. What else does a beauty junkie do with some great weather and sun? Take a stroll to the local spots to browse beauty aisles! Making this an even better outing, fellow beauty junkie Marsadie of Frappelates joined me in this venture! I'll tell you all about that excursion later, but on to the summit fun!
(In my hotel room!)I quickly got back to the room, met my awesome roomie Delphine and headed to the Intelligent Beauty offices to meet, mix and mingle with PR and bloggers over cocktails, appetizers and great music. It was quite the LA scene with shadow box dancers and tans galore! We had an awesome time!
(myself, Denise and Leanne)
I guess we had too much fun. We didn't last on our shoes!
Yummy...Why didn't you take me with you??? lol...Kenya and I are both from CA and I miss it, really I miss the food (and family) but I digress. Great Post!!!

Looks like you ladies had a ball! I miss my LA! Seeing the Staples Center almost made me cry just now. Okay, next year I'm so going. That thang needs to be in Miami, though, so I can stay at my Grandma's house. Haaaa!
ReplyDeleteIt was so great to meet you at the TotalBeauty.com bloggers summit. You were so great to spend time with you and Marsadie and all the other bloggers. Your photos really show how much fun it was....I hope we can all get together again at totalbeauty's next event in the Fall, and please keep in touch with me (my new, red hair may not be the same by then, but I'm going to try and keep it up).
ReplyDeleteMy Advice Sisters blog seems to be having some technical difficulties at the moment but I hope to put up some more photos of the beauty summit in the next few days.
Nice!!! Y'all really look like you had a good time!
