All of the events were held at the beautiful and spacious Metropolitan Pavillion located on W. 18th street in Manhattan. The weekend started with the blogger preview where celebrity makeup artist James Vincent dished on his current favorite products from brands like Ruby Kisses, Kevyn Aucoin, MAC, The London Brush Company, Makeup Forever, Stila and Cinema Secrets more.
I love hearing James speak. He is so charismatic and funny. He gave detailed description of each item in the gift bags and shared why he loved them so much. Here are a few of the items
- Kevyn Aucoin white eyeshadow pencil. It can be used as a base, highlight, or as shadow
- Prime Color Creme Eyeshadow in Decadent
- Pencil Sharpener
- MACs Russian Red Matte Lipstick
- OCC Lip Tars in Tone and Strutter. James said he sometimes uses the lip tars as blush. He also uses the lip tars to create a monochromatic look and tinted moisturizer
- Glitter pigment in Ultra Marine and Red
