Nordstrom Beauty Trend Show Re-cap

2 Comments

I was lucky enough (no pun intended) to be invited to a Lucky Magazine Dior Pretty Party here in South Florida, by the lovely Brittany of Clumps of Mascara. I am so excited to be able to take advantage of a fun event like this, since many events I get invited to take place in NYC.The event will be a fun, glam girls night that will include cupcakes, Dior beauty experts and artists, mini-makeovers, and tips and advice from the Dior beauty team! It’s an exclusive, intimate event, but because some other guests can’t make it, I even get to bring 2 friends along. I am super excited to get to meet other South Florida beauty gals and can’t wait to mingle and play with all of the gorgeous Dior products! We will be live tweeting tomorrow night throughout the event (about 6-8pm), with the hashtag #LuckyDior, so be sure to follow me (@MakeupandManies) and…
