It pays to be in a wedding were the maid of honor is a "suit" for a major make-up distribution company. She was responsible for putting together the goody bags for the brial party and thanks to her vast connections and discounts, she was able to throw in a couple of lovely precious gems that made me feel happier than the bride to be.
The first thing that literally raised my eyebrows was LORAC Brow Wax. Yet, another eyebrow enhancer to add to my already expanding collection. Its a soft wax with a putty texture and is used to not only add color and definition to your eyebrows, but also give you extra confidence that your eyebrows will stay put all day. I tested it out yesterday and I am thrilled to say that not one brow hair strayed away from the rest of the pack. Everyone got brown in their bag, but I think I need to get my paws around the auburn since my hair is still showing traces of the hair coloring I received a couple of months ago, whick I am kinda of regretting now.
The next thing that put that oh so wonderful twinkle in my eye and made my lips pucker up is Too Faced Lip Injection collection. Intitially, I thought it was just another plump claiming product to add to the other 30 zallion other items on the market that propose the same solution to not-so plump lips. Boy, was I wrong! First of all, this is not for you chicas who are looking for something quick and on the go, because there are STEPS to follow to get the perfect supple soup coolers. The good thing about this collection is that you can wear them without having to slather on the other three. WARNING: Like with most plump enhacers, there is a whole lot of tingling going on when you are using this, but its definitely worth the tingle and occasional uncomforatable twitching.
The next and last thing is the most beautiful and perfect thing that I have EVER had the pleasure of putting on my face. Its Guerlain Meteorites Powder! They are these little balls of powder that are in different colors that brightens your skin and complexion and gives it the best possible glow. They come in three different colors, but everyone got it in Translucent Glow. The trans glow gave my skin a lovely glow, without the "bronzey" look. After all was said and done, my skin was flawless and very airbrushed. PERFECT!
Apparently, the best way to apply this powder is with the brush specifically designed for the powder. Its the softest and cutest brush in my brush batch. Its made of Tibetan goat hair, weird, and makes sure that you do not over apply the powder. Lovely and neccesary, because over powdered faces are yucky! I have always wanted to try out Guerlain and thanx to my new make-up buddy Marissa (aka the maid of honor), I now have!
Here are the other random things that were in the goody bag:
- White satin scarf trimmed in gold (the wedding colors) with the wedding date and name of bride and groom (Congrats to Stephen and Nicole!)
- Philosophy's The Bridal Party, which was a cute and appropriate addition
- A white feather fan, which I already broke and lost half the feathers
- T-shirts with my name and "role" in the wedding
- Strawberry body polish from The Body Shop; smells delicious!
- travel size aspirin and a bottle of Palmer's Cocoa Butter
It was a beautiful wedding and made even better by one of the best goody bags, ever!
Stay Stylish!
