Happy Wednesday everyone! As most of you know, I attended the Kandee Johnson
Glaminar with my beautiful sister, Melissa, this past weekend.
The event was held on Saturday, June 27th from 9am to 8pm
at the Sofitel Hotel in Beverly Hills, California.
The glamorous day was full of beauty tips, tricks, inspirational stories, hardship stories and how to really market yourself in the beauty industry.
If you don't know who Kandee Johnson is, allow me to introduce her: She's a one-of-a-kind, spiritually embraced, kind-hearted, down-to-earth, mother of four, professional makeup artist and Youtuber. (Below is a recent video of her favorite beauty picks for 2015. Check it out!)
Her "success" story isn't about how she makes millions or drives fancy cars, because she's not that kind of girl. Her true story is about how she treats people, her integrity to stand by her faith, why it's important to value people and yourself, and then of course, she's just a bad-ass makeup artist with incredible techniques. And she shares all of this on her YouTube channel.
We were welcomed right away into the Glaminar by her "Glambassadors," and handed goodie bags! (Products revealed at the end of this post. Don't peak!)
Finally! The doors open, and every one rushed to the front rows! The AV was playing on repeat, showing Kandee in all her tutorial glory.
Water, candy and notepads were on every table.
Que the music!
Kandee was just about to enter the room, but first, let us take a selfie.
My sister Melissa and I met some of the sweetest girls. (From left to right: Lexi from Indiana, Isabella from Chicago, Myself and Melissa from California) & Jess (not pictured) from Mississippi.
Let the magic begin!

The full-day event was a blast. We were even spoiled with Sprinkles cupcakes...
...and had the best meet and greet to follow. Here is my sister Melissa receiving some great big Kandee hugs!
...giggles upon giggles...
I received a few awesome hugs myself.
And now the moment you've been waiting for - what's in the bag?!
Take a look! Lashes, brush sanitizes, beauty blender, RCMA, and so much more...
I can't say enough good things about the event, the experience and about Kandee. Her core is genuine and people like that can't fake it. No matter how much make up you put on, the real you always shines through.
And if you think you're not I'll leave you with one last quote by Kandee herself...
