Nordstrom Cosmetics Trend Spring/Summer 2012 Show

Today was a very nice day to attend Walnut Creek’s  Nordstrom Cosmetics Trend Show with my bestie. She’s a makeup artist at Macy's Lancome

The show was EPIC, and we had so much fun ...
We were welcome with one of spring/summer bold hue swag bag with a lot of makeup tips and tricks.
The show theme was "Beauty Getaway" which the model wore all the latest spring bold hues, sun-dresses, coral, sorbet red, yellow and rose gold.

The show started with a Chic fashion show designer wear from Trina Turk, to Marc by Marc Jacob. We are a tad bit late, so we didn’t see the fashion show.
But we were right on-time for the cosmetic show.
Lead makeup artists from Nars, to MAC to YSL hit the runway to discuss the latest from each line.

This season makeup looks range from Glow skin to Sun-dressed Eyes to Splash Glam lips.
After the show everyone rush down to the makeup counter for a consultation with a makeup artist to achieve these hot spring/summer makeup trends.

The show was hosted by Joelle Russo, who is a fashion and beauty guru, she was a fabulous host as always!

!My 30th Birthday!


My 30th Birthday was amazing. I’m so blessed to see another decade!!! Here are photos from my birthday weekend. My hunny took me and my family to Hana Japan, Berkeley California. (Thai Cuisine) Before we got to the restaurant I kept hearing a unusual phone ringing, I ask him what was going on he could not hide my birthday gift. The phone that was ringing was my NEW I-Phone4. I was so surprised and very happy!  On the other end of the phone was my girl Monique, from Atlanta. She was calling to wish me a “Happy Birthday”, I love and miss her dearly!

 The food was delicious and I ate for free because it was my birthday. They serve 2 entrees and then the main course.  I had a salad, soup and for my main course fried rice, grilled chicken and shrimps. Yummy delicious!  For dessert and because it was my birthday, they brought a huge candle shape like a volcano and some yummy delicious pineapples.  The night ended so delicious with my family and a beautiful cake.

The party didn’t stop there, it continued that weekend! I had a party at an upscale clubs in the bay area and it was EPIC!!! All my fabulous friends came and celebrate with me. They brought me some great gifts, we popped bottles, and party the night away! The DJ gave me birthday shout outs the entire night and he told everyone it was my 21st birthday… ha ha ha 30 looks good on me!

♥Happy March♥

Hello Diva Dolls,
 I’m so excited about this month not only is it “Women’s International Month”, but it my birthday month. And I’m turning 30. Wow! Time has gone by so fast I remember my 10th birthday and I just discovered photos from my 20th birthday. Now I’m getting ready to celebrate my 30th birthday.  I am so blessed to say I’ve accomplished a lot in 3 decades. I still have work to do. My mission won’t be complete until I have made a difference in someone’s life. So my work is a nonstop progress to reach my goal.

S/S 2011 The Nordstrom's Cosmetics Trend Show

This weekend was one of the most fabulous events to attend, “The Nordstrom’s Cosmetics Trend Show”.  My girlies and I had an amazing time attending this event.  Besides, my tardiness to meet the girlies, I made it with purchasing them some MAC lip gloss.  A Diva’s best friend! 
Upon arrival Nordstrom’s gave us a nice glam bags which included (…..) A nice bag to travel on the go… We were then escorted to the front row seats to watch the show. 
We got there just time to see the beauty essentials and to hear from the lead makeup artists about the latest trend for Summer 2011.  We love the beauty trends from Clarins, Nars, Dior, Anastasia, and MAC.
Anastasia was the special guest for this event. She flew in the night before from Paris to make a guest appearance and to help us achieve the red carpet perfect eye brows.  She also said Naomi Campbell sent a “Hello” to San Francisco.  Hehe…
We end the event with appointments to MAC counter to get all dolled up. MAC also offered personal style session to achieve that bronze Skin and Bright Lips look for this Summer!



Enjoy!
