A Chance to Pamper Myself :)

all the goodies I got from my gift bag!

Hey all, you better believe it. I am back ♥ 

Having just spent one of the most memorable and hectic spring breaks, I'm really glad it ended with an opportunity for me to pamper myself.

If you follow me on my social media today, twitter @joanneinazoo or Facebook you could see that it was pretty much all filled with my experience at the Pamper Me Fabulous Event. So the team and I was honored to be invited to this event, AND GET PAMPERED! This is a new experience for me, as my focus in the past have been mainly clothing/trends. Blogging about a beauty-related topic is an unexplored territory. But I do appreciate the ability to venture into this new territory.

We're a part of the Media! and we got media goodie bags.

The purpose of Pamper Me Fabulous is for girlfriends to come together to nurture the mind, body and spirit and to spending some quality time with each other. So, I was so glad I was able to enjoy this experience with fellow blogger May from Summer In May.  

Getting my eyebrows threaded

My first stop was at the Ziba Booth to get my eyebrows done. Today was actually the first time I got my eyebrows threaded. I'm not gonna lie, it was a painful experience. My tear ducts were uncontrollably secreting these liquids--I guess you can call them tears. In other words, I was bawling like crazy, and just didn't want to admit it. #noshame (I guess). But it turned out nice in the end, and I was SO THANKFUL for the cooling creme. It was a pretty nice deal from Ziba Beauty, it was $12 for the threading and I got a GORGEOUS purple eye-shadow pencil for free! They also had so very pretty eyeliners as well.    

Also, there was a TALENTED free-hand Henna artist as well! Her work was beautiful. 

Naturally, once I got my eyebrows done, I headed over to the benefit booth and asked for a demo to fill in my eyebrows. The beauty expert was Tabitha, and she did a fabulous job as I loved my eye-make up for the rest of the day!


Last stop, getting my portrait taken by Julie from Camera Creations!

Overall, I really enjoyed the event. Especially because I had great company and I got lots of free swag. I definitely recommend going to it if it ever goes to a town near you!

The admission for this event is $40. In addition to the Bazzar (which is where all the booths are located at) and the goodie bag mentioned, there are activity areas where you'll be able to attend yoga lessons, as well as an expert corner where some very famous speakers give information sessions in the areas of their expertise. For example, today there's one session where Dr. Sunder talked about how to age gracefully. 

Pamper me fabulous started in 2008, and it goes on annual tours to various cities. The next stop will be in Dallas, and that won't be until May 19. Once it makes its way throughout the major US cities, it will return again in LA in November. 

Just visit the website if you would like some more information and check out my facebook/twitter for what I did as I went through the event. 

Also, if you're really interested you can get 20% off your ticket if you buy it online at pampermefabulous.com using the code "PMFLA"

Xoxo.
