MAKEUP MONDAY: Lash Bash Party Planning!

Hello my Loves!

My Benefit & ipsy sponsored Lash Bash is this upcoming Saturday. I did my final party supply shopping this past weekend, and I've already started my DIY decorations! The party is slowly coming together, and I'm getting more and more excited! Take a look at my DIY Decorations and party progress in the pictures below!

So what do you guys think?! I can't wait to get all the final touches together and take more pictures the day of the party.

Unfortunately, my Lash Bash party swag hasn't arrived yet, but it should be arriving sometime tomorrow. I will post pictures once it arrives!

MAKEUP MONDAY: Lash Bash Party Planning

Hello my Loves!

My Benefit & ipsy Lash Bash is only two weeks away! It definitely doesn't give me much time for party planning. Since I already had plans to attend a Fall Out Boy concert in San Francisco the evening of Saturday, September 21st, I decided to host my Lash Bash as a Shabby Chic Beauty Brunch!

I'm imagining a light, but delicious brunch filled with food, fun, laughter, and tons of Benefit's They're Real! mascara. I've already started a Pinterest Beauty Brunch board for inspiration.

Here's a few of my favorite pins!

I'm so eager to get my box of makeup from Benefit and ipsy! I also can't wait to start shopping and get all the final touches of my Beauty Brunch together! Let me know what you guys think so far! I'll keep you updated as I start to make my party prep purchases.

MAKEUP MONDAY: I'm an ipsy & Benefit Lash Bash Hostess!

Hello my Loves!

Exciting news! Three weeks ago, I entered a contest on Instagram to become an ipsy & Benefit Glambassador and win the opportunity to host a REALvolution Lash Bash. It is the ultimate at-home, pretty party filled with fun, laughter, and LOTS of Benefit Cosmetics makeup!

 I found out this last Tuesday, August 27th that I was one of 1,000 lucky winners chosen across the country!

I have about three weeks to plan my Lash Bash, and I can't wait to get started! I've already compiled my guest list, and I will definitely keep you all updated with my most recent party planning! I can't wait to share this fun experience with you all!
