This weekend, I attended a delightful event at Sassafras Saloon in Hollywood, where I mingled with fellow beauty bloggers (some of whom were in town for
IMATS…more on that later!) and took a peek at the Nuance by Salma Hayek makeup and skincare line. Hosted by the lovely gals at
We Heart This and Jennifer Matthews of
My Beauty Bunny, it was an enchanting evening of commiserating with likeminded beauty fiends, eating delicious southern style fare and swatching like crazy.
Kindly scroll on for more pictures of the night!

Bottom Line: In addition to a wonderful evening of camaraderie (it was fantastic to meet my pale lipstick twin, Marcia, of BeautyInfoZone!), I received a bevy of Nuance products that I look forward to experiencing and posting about (first up will likely be the foundation). Steph, Tyna and Jen, Nuance and Sassafras Saloon…thanks for a brilliant event!

Great event! So far I've only tried one product from Nuance. I have reviewed the concealer, not the best but ain't the worst either. It's always nice to meet fellow beauty bloggers. Wishful thinking: bring IMATS to Hawaii, that would be fun!!!!!xo
Hi Kath!
I will have to read your Nuance review…I plan on reviewing the foundation I received very soon! IMATS to Hawaii would be amazing on many counts…beautiful environment, tons of makeup and you would be there ; ) What's not to like?!
Have a lovely week–xoxo,

I'm so sorry I had to leave early. I wish I'd stayed and played more with the cosmetics and YOU. I loved meeting you. Thanks for mentioning me. I hope next year we can spend time together!
Hello Marcia,
As I mentioned before, it was such a joy to meet you in person!! I look forward to our paths crossing next year!
