This was a fun event-and so well done. I loved the picnic theme. As per usual, I don’t want to talk too much. I’ll let the photos do the ‘work’ for me and then summarize at the end 🙂 (You’re welcome!)




isn’t this cute? Reusable lunch bags contained the almay products for the ‘hands-on’ tutorial.

Some of my fellow beauty bloggers got in on the action too….check out @jillojello and @thebeautyblogca getting ‘hands on’ :

Now let’s check out the products:
Quite a nice bag of products, wouldn’t you say?

Almay smart shade anti aging makeup with SPF 30 in light/medium; Almay smart shade CC luminous primer
Very excited about these 2 items right here. Let’s face it (eh, see what I did there…..? FACE IT! Don’t worry, I’ll keep my day job), a beautiful face starts with a great canvas. These 2 products work together to ensure a smooth, even toned face!

Makeup removers from Almay
I’ve been a bigger and bigger fan of makeup remover wipes….especially when I work alllllll day long and then want to look fresh for an evening out! A couple of swipes and I’m ready to begin again. I like the towelettes-they are unfragranced and don’t leave my skin feeling tight.

almay smart shade eyeliner
I do apologize for the blurry photo. I have to admit, at this moment-this product is my ‘stand out.’ Why you ask? It’s the color, it’s somewhere between a copper and chocolate brown with shimmer. It looks so good at the base of the upper lash line. Complements my blue eyes wonderfully!

Almay smart shade bronzer
This bronzer also intrigues me. Haven’t delved into it just yet but I’m interested for sure. I’m in love with it already just for the polka dots!

intense i-color volumizing mascara
I’ll be ripping this product open when I remove my lash extensions. I have heard great things about it.
Hmmmm, out of everything I have to say this is going to be a tough sell for me. I am not in agree-ance that blue eye shadow “works” on the eyelid of a blue-eyed gal such as myself. However, Jacquie did give me hope that this could work for me and in fact even demonstrated using this product WITH the sponge-tipped applicator. WHOAH. *gasp*-yes it’s true. Let’s keep in mind that she is a professional though.
Stay tuned for a closer look at the products-more specifically 2 products that I am REALLY enjoying for flawless skin. I’m a bit surprised that I am liking these 2 products SO MUCH!
Thank you to the lovelies at Almay who invited me to this event! Well done!
