Glossy Party Toronto

GlossyBox was putting on an event that they called "Get Holiday Ready with Glossybox". It took place at the Marc Anthony Salon in Toronto and I was lucky enough to get invited by the wonderful Ashley (Romanian Butterfly) to this awesome event. Ashley's "entourage" consisted of CarlyJean, Joy, Jessica and myself (and a special appearance by her mom - she was super sweet!)

Before loading you with pictures, here's a little about the event:

- At this party, they were honouring Ashley as their first GLOSSYGold Ambassador. She has referred many people to GlossyBox and her word-of-mouth has spread far & wide. For being a GlossyGold Ambassador, she received a special box...
- They had a nail bar, beauty bar, braid/bun bar and a candy bar
- There were approximately 10 different brands with their reps that we were able to test out and talk to (including OPI, GlamGlow, Annabelle, MaskerAide, Beauty So Clean and Vitabath)
- Photo booth
- Lots of bloggers & vloggers (some I recognized, some I didn't)
- Yes, their were gift bags....

Upon walking in, you see the picture of Ashley :)

Me,  trying to look chic

 

Elin Bianco - Their products smell like baby powder.

Jouviance - The face of this company is Véronique Cloutier and apparently she approached the company, not the other way around (or so the woman says)

Mmmmm Candy Bar

Masker Aide - Spoke with Karyn who shared a little about a product that they're in the process of making. I wont say much other than I really hope it comes out soon!

Beauty So Clean - Didn't get a full picture of all their stuff

Annabelle - Love the colours!

Since I'm on a No-Buy, this is quite awesome! I get to try lots of products, most of which I've never tried before! I'm really REALLY looking forward to trying several of these products (GlamGlow, I'm looking at you!) and you can be sure that their will be reviews about most of them.


I had a great time and would like to once again thank Ashley!  I'm looking forward to seeing the three of you again sometime soon!
