Blush Pretty The Beauty Board: Summer Loving Event




Me and Stephanie of Blush Pretty

This past Sunday I along with 6 of my gal pals attended The Beauty Board presented by Blush Pretty.  We got to mingle, eat great food, but best of all we got to try amazing new products from some of our favourite beauty brands as well as new brands.  My favourite brand of the day was Dalish Cosmetics who not only sells cosmetics but also baby skincare.  A double bonus for this beauty and baby loving mama!  Check out pics of the event below.  I must warn you that this post is picture heavy!  Enjoy!


Me with fellow Toronto bloggers Anjali (Rock That Look), and Meredith (et tu and you)


Me and YouTube vlogger/guru Fiona (fionaman on YouTube)

New to the beauty board this year was Revolution Organics.  Can't wait to try the lip gloss I received in the swag bag!
