V.I.P. status and red carpet swag- Toronto Beauty Bloggers Event!

Well the Juno’s are tonight and even though the official red carpet is outside the Air Canada Centre, the REAL action was at Loki Salon for the Step Into Spring TBB Meet-up!

Of course, like most TBB events I attend, I get so wrapped up in being surrounded by fabulosity that I don’t take any photos.  I can’t help it-it’s hard being in a room of creative, fabulous, and BEAUTIFUL people (wahh wahh right?)

My specialty-crooked photos. Farah and a giveaway winner....

marianitamc and makemeover_Ande such talented women!

Jenn from Spiced Beauty holding her prize (Yes I would take it if she set it down. She knows me pretty well...)

And now the swag bag…talk about V.I.P. Well, look and see for yourself:

The white bag held our 'swag' but keep looking-it goes on forever!

I know I know, you're impressed...but wait, there's more!

amazed yet or just jealous?

yup all of this is in one bag!

Still going.....

There WERE truffles in here....and yes, they were delicious.

Hard Candy anyone? Why yes please!

no longer on a mascara hunt....fan-freakin'-tastic!

love the joe fresh lip stain-what a great color for spring. Lip gloss in clear will top that off nicely!

Phew!  How can a girl not feel like rock royalty after looking through the contents of that bag? I mean this is Oscar-worthy!

Okay so in addition to the swag bag, I also had to purchase one of the lovely feather creations by FeatherBand and trust me ladies, these are a must have:

I can't even tell you how much I love this headband. I have to buy more!

Finally, some items that I bought from Joyce’s blog sale:

Smashbox palette-limited edition

oooo I can not wait to use this...love the contrast!

and finally my UD eyeshadow in Heist:

love this shade-and the packaging. Still pissed at UD and Naked palette-less.

*sigh* isn't she lovely?

What an afternoon!  Makes signing into work seem bearable!

Huge shout-outs to Farah and Kavita for providing location and all around AWESOMENESS. This was by far an absolutely OUTSTANDING EVENT.  I appreciate Farah including me and welcoming me into the TBB circle.  I love spending time with creative and amazing people and if it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t have the opportunity!

This Sunday gets a grade of PERFECT.
