Jonathan Adler for bareMinerals with InStyle Magazine

25 Feb

Letia MitchellLet’s say you take a bright, talented and creative designer named Jonathan Adler; famous for his pottery, beautiful furniture and textiles.

Then you take Leslie Blodgett, the Creator of bareMinerals and Executive Chairman, Bare Escentuals® who works very hard to change a woman’s perspective about their skin by providing makeup which promotes just that!  Talk about INSPIRATION!

Next you have InStyle Magazine  – one of my favorite magazines which not only keeps up with the Hollywood celebrities, but also brings you the latest on shopping, fashion and makeup!

You put ALL of THEM together and you get Jonathan Adler designing for bareMinerals with InStyle Magazine hosting an event in NYC Herald Square; in which I was invited to!

beauty-bare-mineralsThe event introduced Jonathan Adler collaboration on a limited edition custom box to hold BareMinerals’s deluxe original foundation with a matching buki brush!   Beautiful!

What is also so good about this, you actually have a designer piece in your home, by thee Jonathan Adler!

The night consisted of makeovers, prizes, photos, makeup artists and InStyle Magazine’s

Ambassador Tai Beauchamp giving her tips on style and makeup too!  The music was rocking by their Lady DJ!  It was a wonderful evening.   I met such wonderful people!

Anna Prestia who is the Store Manger at BareEscentuals Boutique at Herald Square (across the street from Macys) was so nice, as well as her staff.   They all were very accommodating and smiles galore; about 10x over!

The Lovely bareMinerals Staff!

My makeup artist Leticia was too awesome! When getting your makeup done – you should try to do this!  Leticia only did one side of my face – so I could actually see the difference.

One look in the mirror, I was sold!  Then she did the other side!  Now woman of darker skin tones as myself, yes you can use this product – it’s amazing! The items I brought were:

  • bareMinerals Ready SPF 15 Touch Up Veil – Tinted
  • bareMinerals READY Eyeshadow 4.0  – The Wild Thing and The Next Big Thing
  • bareMinerals READY Blush – The Whisper   
  • bareMinerals marvelouse MOXIE – Hot Shot
 

Then it was on to making fun videos with a goflipyourself book as a keepsake!  I keep thinking anyone who thinks that a there is no way to be/become beautiful or just feel good about yourself; haven’t been to a bareMinerals Boutique!

So here is my video about the limited edition keepsake box and the event, I’ve also purchased the limited edition box  for one of my subscribers to win!  Links, videos and post will help provide the answers!!!
