Best Birthday Weekend Ever!

So as you all know I got flown out of Portland to Long Beach for my birthday. Yesterday, the 22nd was officially my birthday but I celebrated it a whole week early. I'm super grateful to my friends nod family for pulling together to make it happen. So let me go ahead and share with you my time at IMATS 2014. My good friend KaSaundera came with me just as support and help with Ariel, makeup isn't her thing. 

First stop was the Mehron cosmetics table to meet Alexys Flemming from MadeULook & CreativeBoss on youtube.com 

She was just as sweet in person as she seems online. I just love her personality and her enthusiasm to meet people and share her love of makeup. It was an honor to meet her. Make sure you check her out and subscribe if you arent already. 

There wasn't much that I was able to buy but there also wasn't too much I needed either. I ended up buying a set of Alexys' brushes which I can't wait to use, they are so lightweight and love the color of the handles. I bought a few things from NYX Cosmetics, EyeKandy and OCC. outside of things I purchase, I got to meet some amazing people. 

I met Alexys, then I ran into Melissa who is the co-creator of "My Face Chart" app. I also got to meet the creator of Lime Crime Cosmetics, Doe Deere and she is so adorable. She loved Ariel. 

Then I got to meet Tatiana Ward from BeatFaceHoney on youtube.com and Renny Vasquez. Be sure to check them out, they are amazing. 

I also ran into Alythe_MUA who I follow on IG. 

As you can see Ariel was asleep y this point, and we left right after this because we were all a little tired by this point. 

Overall I had a blast at IMATS 2014, and am so glad I got to meet some people I've been wanting to meet. 

The other things wee did this weekend was my friends threw a birthday dinner for me with some friends I haven't seen in a while and also lunch with 2 of my good friends. I did record this whole weekend, so be sure to check out my vlog youtube.com/user/desireestyles4u tonight or tomorrow and be sure to thumbs it up and comment. Here are some pictures of the demos that we're going on at IMATS. Love you all and hope you enjoyed your weekend and this week.
