Last week, my friend, Breena, sent out an e-mail inviting a few of us to join her for the Nordstrom makeup event.  What’s a Nordstrom makeup event, you might ask?  Well, I asked the same thing – and also said yes right away, as the combination of Saturday morning, a group of friends, and makeup, all sounded like something I did not want to miss out on!  Below is the “before” picture, at 8:30am, as we got ready to experience some makeover magic.  The morning began with a great video showcasing various makeup routines for the spring as done by each of the makeup brands.  We then took turns getting makeup lessons (this is what Bobbi Brown calls them, rather than makeovers – it’s all semantics, and implies that it would be possible to look this good on our own without their help, which I think might be impossible for those of us who are makeup impaired…), and finished off with snapping photos outside.  The highlight for me was probably getting to have so many fun friends willing to let me play around with the camera with them!  Kelli manned the camera while I was in a makeup chair, and captured the fabulous shot of Andrea (one of the blondes) holding the Bobbi Brown mirror.  And Ashley was kind enough to take some photos of me after I had my makeup all done, too!  All in all, a very successful morning and one that I would love a repeat of sooner rather than later.
