Last week was a busy one, but in between eating, working, blogging and shopping (priorities, people), I had a chance to stop by Maxine Salon to sip champagne, enjoy Kerastase’s braid bar and nosh on too many cupcakes with the Birchbox ladies and some of my favorite bloggers. Here’s a recap of the event and a sneak peek at what I wore (full outfit post to come later this week).
Keep reading; there’s free stuff to be had.
I loved Jessica’s cocktail bling!
Lauren’s braid turned out best.
If you follow me on Twitter, you probably know that I love Birchbox. Do you subscribe? If you’re not familiar, a $10 monthly subscription to Birchbox gets you 5-7 samples from high-end brands, like Essie, Stila, Benefit and more. There’s nothing better than coming home to find that little pink box waiting in your mailbox… Unless it’s coupled with each of that month’s mag subscriptions. #BESTDAYEVER
Luckily, the Birchbox ladies generously gave me TWO extra party favors to share with you! Here’s how to enter to win one of two of these special edition Birchboxes:
1. Like corals + cognacs on Facebook
2. Comment below
I can’t yet share the contents of what’s inside, but you will love this batch of beauty goodies. Good luck! xo
*Fine Print: One entry per person, please. Giveaway ends Saturday, 6/16 at noon CDT. Winner will be chosen via random.org.
