Blush Pretty Beauty Board : Here’s What You Missed

Posted on April 26, 2012 by Elaine

Didn’t I tell you you’d be sorry you missed out? This was my 3rd Blush Pretty Beauty Board and I have to say I think it was one of the best!

I was so excited about the turn out and the quality of the brands that were present. Some of my favorite brands were there including Pure and Simple, Kaia and Eco Tools! Not to mention awesome new additions with unique items such as A Paper Story and Silpada!

I took quite a few pictures so hopefully they will be able to tell the story!

Feather Rings from FeatherBand

Aren’t these rings so cute! I couldn’t resist picking one up that matched my outfit exactly!

IMG_0090
Cards and Stationary from A Paper Story

Daly hand makes these unique cards and tags guaranteed to put a smile on your face!

IMG_0088
Sterling Silver Jewellery from Silpada

Really pretty jewellery from Sandy of Silpada, so pretty I couldn’t bear to look b/c I didn’t want to get tempted!

IMG_0104
Haha “Camel Toe” and “Booty Call” nail polishes from Cheeky Monkey 

The names of these polishes always make me laugh! As always Cheeky Monkey is a favorite and a huge hit at the Beauty Board.

Colour cosmetics from apothekerri

Kerri was providing makeup touch ups for all attendees interested.

Splat Hair Dip Dye

IMG_0100
Crawford Street Skincare

All natural skincare with interesting ingredients like Frankincense

IMG_0099
Pure + Simple

My favorite place for facials! I also use their facial products and make up line.
The laides of P+S were also doing 10 minute flash facials for guests!

IMG_0097
Flirt Custom Lash

One lucky lady won a free lash session with Sommer at the Beauty Board!
That was certainly a crowd pleaser!

IMG_0096
Revolution Organics

Love the beauty balm!

IMG_0095
Pantene and Cover Girl

Another regular and favorite brand at the Beauty Board

IMG_0111
Unique wedding ideas from Jessie Boy Blue

I love these unique and personalized works of art!

IMG_0110
Eco Tools

My favorite brushes! I think I need to get more – can always use a backup set right?

IMG_0109
Batiste Dry Shampoos

I’m looking forward to trying this dry shampoo out. It’s useful for when I straighten my hair and want to go a few days without washing.

IMG_0108
Ella’s Botanicals (check out my interview with Ella here)

Ella’s products made the Beauty Board smell so good! And it was so fun meeting her in person, she’s so sweet!

IMG_0107
Consonant Body

Another regular and a favorite! I really want to try their new Antioxidant Superhero Serum

IMG_0106
Kaia Naturals

My favorite facial cloths! Actually the ONLY facial cloths that I’ve tried and liked.

Stella and Dot were also in attendance – they were a huge hit the last Beauty Board and this one was no different. Sadly I don’t have a picture of their fabulous table 🙁

I was also there representing Avon/Mark although I was doing a really bad job since I was too busy eating, chatting and talking to all the guests and vendors there ha!

See how many fantastic brands were there? Not to mention the yummy food provided by Some Guys Culinary Co and AMAZING macarons or “MANcarons” by MANcarons Inc – Fiona Man’s latest venture. The Beauty Board would also NOT be the Beauty Board without DJ Bloo!  Check out a sample of the amazing sounds you missed out on downloading his Blush Pretty mix tape here.

Guests chatting, trying, testing, eating!

Rumor has it the next Beauty Board will be co-ed featuring a lot of men’s lines! I highly suggest you don’t miss out on the next one – be sure to subcribe to emails from Blush Pretty or follow on twitter and facebook to get the latest news!

  • Nail extensions that last weeks but don’t damage your natural nails?!?! Check out the process for getting Après-X nail extensions! There aren’t many salons in Toronto that offer this service, but so far, I’m a fan! I love bio-gel, but I have the WEAKEST nails, so after I get the extensions removed, my nails shred and take forever to grow back out. I heard about this soak-off style, and couldn’t wait to check it out for myself! I haven’t gotten them removed yet, but I’ll update you all when I do! ✅ durable like bio-gel ✅ light and thin ✅✅✅
  • The big reveal!!! TL;DR - removal was painless and left my nails in a WAYYYY better state than with dip or bio-gel removal I did still have some trouble with the ends being thin (defs needed to trim the length so they wouldn’t rip ), but the rest of the nail bed was so much more comfortable and healthy-looking than when I’ve had other long-wear manis removed ✅ All in all, I’d say I’m definitely an Après-X convert! Especially as someone who doesn’t want to get a mani every month, this is perfect for special occasions. The nails were really
  • Lip balm that changes color depending on your skin’s pH?! @winky_lux pH Lip Balm goes on clear, then transforms to a perfect color based on your skin’s pH (level of acidity). It’s so fun to see what color the balm becomes! It’s giving major mood ring vibes The formula is silky (not sticky), and the color lasts pretty well! So far, I’m impressed. Available at @shoppersbeauty @shoppersdrugmart! —————————————————————————— #torontobeautyreviews #mytbrfave #tbrcontributors #winkylux #shoppersdrugmart #shoppersbeauty #drugstorebeauty #affordablemakeup #crueltyfreebeauty #crueltyfree #phlipbalm #moodring #colorchanging #lipbalm #torontopr #torontobeautybloggers
