Bobbi Brown Sample Sale Shopping Haul

I finally made it to the Bobbi Brown Sample Sale! I thought maybe I would have gotten one or two things but I got more than that! Although prices weren't reduced for the last day, it was still a bargain! What I recommend before hitting up any beauty sale? Know your shades in advance!

In Bobbi Brown's Skin Foundation, my shade is Warm Natural (4.5), which they didn't have. They had Golden Natural (4.75) in the Skin Foundation and the Natural Tan (4.25) in the Moisture Rich Foundation. I ended up going with the Skin Foundation for $15, and did find Warm Natural (4.5) in the Face Touch Up Stick ($12). I also got the Retouching Wand in both the Medium and Medium to Dark shades ($12). I also got the Long-Wear Brow Gel in Rich Brown. There was only one Rich Lip Color shade, Cosmic Pink, which I picked up for $8.

Unfortunately there was no mascara or eyeliner. There was also some Bumble and bumble product. Hopefully this sale comes around again!

Recap: Design on a Dime NYC 2017

Francis Interiors - Fifty Shades of Grey

On April 27th, I got a sneak peek at the 13th Annual Design on a Dime benefit at the Metropolitan Pavilion in New York City. The benefit presented 60+ unbelievable vignettes from top designers.

Some of my favorite vignettes this time around include Francis Interiors "Fifty Shades of Grey", featuring several Nourison products including a Maxell rug, Calvin Klein Home Lunar rug with a luminescent radiance and velvet-like texture, kathy ireland Home Studio shag and Mina Victory pillows and throw blankets.

Nourison was also featured in Elissa Grayer Interior Design's pink and navy themed vignette, with a Twilight rug in Blue and Ivory covering the floor.

Some of my other favorite vignettes included Root Cellar, Petit Lau, Decor Aid, Nickelodeon, Elle Decor and Andrés Sáenz Interior Design.

For the fourth year in a row, Design on a Dime has raised over 1 million towards the mission to end AIDS and homelessness. Proceeds from Design on a Dime fund Housing Works' groundbreaking programs and lifesaving services for New Yorkers living with HIV/AIDS including housing, healthcare, and a supportive community.
