We met up at the eyecandy sound lounge at Mandalay Bay, drank, shared stories, and got to see the new Layla goodies coming up for the rest of 2012 (and heard some secrets of things to come as well!)
Many many many thanks to the ladies of Layla Cosmetics, LUXCON, and Y! PR for the opportunity to relax and get to know each other! Now it's time for just some fun loving pictures!

So yes, there are pictures of me, I promise.
You have no idea how much I've missed Judy from BeautyJudy. Like, if we lived anywhere near each other, she'd have to kick me out of her house because I just want to talk to her for hours. She's been a rock for me, someone I can vent to, cry with, be angry with, gossip about polish. She's the sister I always wanted. And I had no idea she was making that face in the second picture. Rock on Judy.
Romy from Romy Raves. I really didn't get to talk to Romy much which is a dang shame because she is freaking fantastic. I really hope to cross paths with her again because she was amazingly awesome.
(Same goes for Sinead who I got to share a cab with and it was probably the most hilarious cab ride I've ever taken. PS: I want a "Put It Back Together" fund too.)
This is Brianna from Makeup Minutes. She came up to me in the Press Room and introduced herself and I was so intrigued by her look and her presence that we exchanged business cards and I invited her to our party. Do go check out her blog - she has some great posts going on. Plus she has a fantastic middle name even if she does spell it with 2 L's. (Michele for LIFE yo.)
Okay, so you may be asking what's up with my lashes. Long story short, they are Ardell Wild Lashes and are actually feathers. I'll write more about them later, I promise.

ReplyDeleteHaha not hard to mistake when we live in a world of makeup!
DeleteAwesome! I didn't even realize there were so many pictures! It was a fun time and awesome meeting you! <3
ReplyDeleteYeah I spent some loving time with my camera once I figured out how to take pictures in the dark!
DeleteWow this looks like you ladies had a great time! Don't you love it when you make connections with people all over the world and some for life over something as silly and fun as nail polish and makeup?
ReplyDeleteYES! It's great to see people behind the blog and everyone had a unique story and lovely presence!

ReplyDeleteThank you! It was great putting faces to nails (hah)!
DeleteBat those lashes, baby!!! I had a really fun time with you all. I hope I can get together with everyone again. I had a lot of star-struck going on being with such awesome beauty bloggers.
ReplyDeleteGirrrrrl you know it!!! I know I have them somewhere in my house too so I can wear them randomly to the grocery store. Muahaha.
DeleteAnd whatever! We're all cool cats (meow). I need to get my butt to Florida again!
