The Ultimate London Beauty Experience: My Tilbury Transformation in Covent Garden

During my stay in London I made sure to hit all the most fashionable tourist spots because I didn't want to miss that famous London High Street look!

I also made a special stop at the famous Covent Gardens which is a market in London that's popular with many local fashion bloggers and full of chic stores and cute photo ops! I was invited to get my Tilbury Transformation at the Charlotte Tilbury London store in Covent Gardens and couldn't wait to check out the location! I already covered the opening of Charlotte Tilbury's very first LA store at the Grove this summer and was so excited to see what the original London boutique had in store for me! When I arrived at the shop I headed downstairs to the very royal looking beauty lounge and checked in for my make up appointment. My artist Billie was so friendly and helped me take some before and after pictures for you guys so you can see my transformation!

She started with the skincare routine to give my face a natural glow and then applied the new airbrush foundation that I have been dying to try! The foundation was super light but gave great coverage and stayed on all day! After finishing with my face she started working on my eyes and even let me try the brand new Starry Eyes pallette along with the Rose Gold cream eyeshadow.

 I love the Rose Gold cream color because it easily blends into the skin and stays shimmery all day long!

Finally we finished my look with a pop of color to match my outfit. This lipstick color is called "The Queen" and I am in love with this bright and bold shade! It matched my dress perfectly and definitely has a royal and sophisticated tone to it making it different from a traditional bright pink lip. Check out the amazing results below! I headed off to my afternoon tea looking and feeling very posh as the brits would say! I would definitely recommend stopping by the store for fans of the brand! I scheduled my transformation for right before my Pret a Portea reservation at the Berkeley hotel and I can definitely say that getting my makeup done by a Tilbury expert really made a difference! It saved me so much time and hassle getting ready and came out way better than anything I could've done at my hotel so I would definitely recommend making an appointment if you are on the go!

The Ultimate Wellness Party Hosted by Completely Bare in Beverly Hills

The Completely Bare SummerHouse threw the ultimate weekend pool party high above Los Angeles on the hills of Mulholland Drive last weekend where I got to experience a full day of self care and wellness with a little partying mixed in too! The amazing day started off at the gorgeous BH mansion filled with fun photo ops perfect for showing off the priceless view from the house.

First, I got to take an exclusive yoga class focused on meditation techniques for self-empowerment and I even learned some new moves I can't wait to bring into my own practice.

Then after getting relaxed and centered the party continued with massages, brunch, and vitamin therapy provided by IV drip. I enjoyed the amazing lunch prepared by gourmet Chef Burke while lounging by the pool.

 I of course brought my swimsuit and took a dip to cool off before heading back to the festivities. It truly was a taste of the good life! The day continued with tunes from the DJ and celebrity guests such as Catt Sadler started to arrive for the afternoon panel. Guests enjoyed waxing and beauty treatments compliments of Completely Bare and we even got to make homemade lip scrubs with NCLA beauty! Mine was pink of course! 

The panel started at 3:30 and included Girlbosses from all areas of the entertainment industry who came to discuss cancel culture and give tips to aspiring content creators! Lily, Completely Bare’s marketing director, Amrit, an immensely successful self-made DJ and CEO, as well as podcast host, YouTuber and influencer Diana Madison and Claire of EQT music who organizes concerts and works with up and coming musicians. 

The panel was so inspiring filled with great career advice from women who weren't afraid to break the mold and are now ready to help the next generation of leaders. My favorite thing about the panel was how all of these women wanted to support up and comers and each of them spoke about the importance of sharing knowledge and advice with the next generation. The overall message seemed to be that when women stick together we are unstoppable! 

After hearing all the great advice and discussion about the latest marketing trends in the entertainment and influencer world I enjoyed the delicious bites and refreshments courtesy of chef Royce Burke, and H2Rose, Three Olives Vodka, Eric Philippe Champagne, and Gray Whale Gin.
