The Adventures of Worldly Wendy and Jetsetting Jeanette at the BE Master Class

...we arrived at the Ritz and all of its glamor and headed to the second floor where the champagne reception was taking place. Wendy had failed to mention that she knew everyone from BE Addicts and Mineral Madness (the best online forums ever!) and we mingled a bit (and had a few glasses of champagne) before the main room opened up. 


WOWZA!!!!! I was speechless!!!!! Wendy headed to the front of the room and got us the best seats i the place!!!!!!! (THANKS WENDYCAKES!!!)  I loved that it was small and intimate. I had been expecting 200- 500 people and there was probably closer to between 50 and 75. We sat down and first things first- goody bags!!!!!!!


Super cute pink totes filled with heaven!!!!   Maximum Coverage Face Brush (Wendy shoed this to me on the train in and told her I was going to buy one- hello-in the goody bag!!!), Glazed Donut lipgloss (my FAV!! and I was wearing that night over Shell lipliner), Plum Brulee lipstick, the new Flawless definition Volumizing Mascara, RareMinerals Purifying Facial Cleanser, RareMinerals Purely Nourishing Facial Moisturizer, Face Fashion the Look of Now CLASSIC GLAM kit- EVERYTHING WAS FULL SIZED!!!, and the Bare Beauty Look Book (you can only get it at the Master Class).

We went through it and went over to Bravon, who Miss Wendycakes forgot to mention KNOWS HER!!!!!OMG!!! SO Wendy introduced us and we took pictures. I told him how handsome he is- such a cutie!!!! We talked for a few minutes and then..


Leslie, the Queen Mother walked in. Wendy and I headed over to her. This is when I find out that LESLIE KNOWS WENDY too!!!! I still can't believe she didn't tell me this!!!! So Wendy introduced me to Leslie (who is freaking TEENY TINY!!!!!!!!) and I got a bit emotional. This is really weird for me. I'm a flight attendant, so I meet famous people all of the time, and its cool, but not life changing. 

Wendy and Leslie

Meeting Leslie- I was just so overwhelmed. Here is someone I  have watched a million ties on television. My self esteem and so much of what I do changed when I started using BE. It was Leslie who got me to make the change. It was just- wow. I think I thanked her a million times and got all teary eyed, and she got teary eyed and that's how she began the night.


Vicki, Director of National Events, gave a quick speech and introduced everyone and Leslie got up to speak.

She talked for a while about BE- how she got started (she is so down to earth and so genuine, and wow- I feel so lucky to have meet her!!!) She was funny and smart and just amazing.

Then Jessica Foust (love her on QVC!!!!) went over some of the new products and in between they raffled off a few. Charmed, a collection that is going to be exclusive to Ulta and won't be out until November was my favorite. It comes in a pink box, has a gold heart charm and all of the pieces have a pink heart on them. it comes with a full sized 7 Layer Cake lipgloss, full sized Volumizing mascara, .75g Original Mineral Veil, .57g Flawless Radiance, .57 Timeless blush, full sized Charmed eyecolor, full sized Memoir eyecolor, Big & Bright eyeliner in Plum and a Tapered Blush Brush and an Eye Defining Brush with PINK handles. 


As soon as I saw it I told Wendy I was going to buy it that night. I love love love pink, and I have been to 3 boutiques and a Macys looking for 7 Layer Cake- all sold out. I also just told Bumble Bea that I want a charm bracelet for Christmas. 


Guess who won the raffle!!! YES!!! ME!!!!! I think Leslie was glad that I won it since we came all the way from Cali. (She mentioned it a few times in her talk, btw, and everyone there knew Wendy and I as the girls from L.A.)

After Leslie spoke Bravon made up a model (Julie) using the Beyond Gorgeous kit and Moonlight High Eye Shine Color. Wowza he is TALENTED!!!!!! I had asked Wendy earlier about a lip primer because I love all things BE but their lip products always come off. Bravon (the genius he is) talked about using the eye primer on lips. I'm telling you- if I mentioned it to Wendycakes, I got it!!!!!

After Bravon did his presentation Jessica Foust introduced some of the new and upcoming products. (OMG, Jessica is soooooooooooo cute! Hope you've seen her on QVC- love her!).  She showed Kaleidoscope Collection (Wendycakes wants it), Body Lingerie Luminous Body Shimmer, Beyond Gorgeous (I ordered it that night), Shine and Shimmer (Sephora Exclusive which I will be buying!!!!!) and All Wrapped Up (I will also be purchasing), Delish Lipgloss Palette (super cute and perfect for traveling!),  Brilliant Gold Beauty Duo, and one other kit, Buxom Samantha's Smoky Eye. 

OMG and hey showed the packaging for the November QVC TSV!!!! Holy nuts it's an adorable hat box!!!!! They are all going to be garden themed, designed around a different flower each time. Each of the pieces has black flowers embossed on them- SUPER CUTE! ANd less than $40!!!! A MUST HAVE!!!!! The first blush is called is Avant Garden- I mean, can it get any cuter???


It was getting late and Leslie and the others had to be in NYC the next day so we adjourned, took a few minutes to look at the new items on display and headed out into the hall. Leslie was there signing autographed photos and we were able to give her the gifts.

Wendy and I both ordered Beyond Gorgeous and we each got the Foiled Eye Kit gift for purchasing $50 or more and a free eyecolor sample (Ill post what it is when we get it)


Afterwards we talked to Jessica and Bravon who also signed autographs. I was amazed that bravon knew exactly who Wendycakes was- even the airline we work for!!!! And Jessica (who lives in Philly) gave us a list of places to go. Bravon also invited us to NYC the next day (we debated going but realized we couldn't get a flight home from NYC so passed on it). We stayed talking after everyone left until Bravon and Jessica had to leave. NICEST PEOPLE EVER!!

We headed down to the bar/lounge, high on the events of the night. We got a drink and were talking when the BE employees came down. I went over and asked about the best way to get to NYC and Sue Fike, the District Manager of NY/PA came ver and told us she was going to let the manager in NYC know that we may be coming and to treat us well. So awesome!!!! I can't believe how welcoming everyone was and so genuine and happy. It was such a great experience!!!!!

Wendy and I got back to the hotel around 1am and stayed up talking til 2am. (We had to be up at 4- UGH!!!!) We caught a flight home and are now planning a visit to the BE Outlet sometime this week!!!!
