Long time, no blog! The posts from the past few weeks have been ones that I pre-wrote, so I feel like I haven’t blogged in ages. But boy, have I been busy! One day after graduation, June 17^th, I jet-setted to New York with 6 other girls for 5 days of visiting beauty brands. Why, you ask? First off, it’s great to find out how the beauty industry differs than the west coast. Also, some of us want to live in New York City in the future, so, this is a great opportunity to get on those companies radar! We had a jam-packed schedule and got a lot of business cards! I really enjoyed my whirlwind trip to New York City…I can really imagine myself living there! I posted a small gallery below so you can see some of the photos from the trip, including behind the scenes at the company’s headquarters! These companies were all amazing and quite a few of them gave us awesome goodies to try out, so you know you can expect future reviews!

Here’s a list of the companies we visited: Bumble and Bumble, Women’s Wear Daily, Arcade Marketing, COTY, Shiseido, Bollare PR, CEW Event, Tarte, Temptu, Givaudan, and INGLOT.
