Swirling, Tapping and Buffing My Way To The East Coast

A few weeks ago, Wendy, my fellow flight attendant and BE addict called and told me she had an extra ticket for the Bare Ecentuals Master Class in Philadelphia and asked if I wanted to go. Um- HELLS TO THE YEAH!!!! 


We booked a hotel a few blocks from the Ritz Carlton,where it was taking place, and hoped on a flight to Philly from LA. I was sooooooooo excited the night before we left that I stayed up all night. Wendy had a trip that landed at midnight the night before we left and we were picking her up at 4:45 so she didn't sleep either.


Most of the flight to Philly we talked about all things BE and from the train from the airport to our hotel we talked about BE. A few times we stopped and realized that if anyone was listening to us they must be thinking we were nuts. we compared brushes, eye colors, everything BE. What kits we did and didnt have, our wishlists, eye shadow combos- anything and everything BE. 


Once we got to the hotel, we unpacked, changed clothes and continued discussing our BE addiction over dinner at the best Mexican restaurant ever, El Vez. (If you ever go there, order a Sexican- delish!!!) After stuffing ourselves like fools we indulged in two other addictions we share in common- shoes and purses. 


And yes, then we headed over to the Ritz to stalk- I mean SCOPE the place out for the next night. Lol. 

We slept late the next day and headed out to grab lunch at the Reading Terminal Market (best vgean Philly Cheesesteaks EVER!!!). As we were walking over there I turned to my left and saw pink. I grabbed Wedny at the same time she grabbed me. The BARE ESCENTUALS TOUR VAN!!! OMG Leslie was HERE!!!!! We ran over and took pictures like the crazy addicts we are! We posed like Leslie, took pictures from every angle. 

Then a guy came out and introduced himself as Ed, Leslie's van driver. he was SOOOOOOOOOOO nice! (and I'm sure he thought we were nutty nutty nutty!) He asked if we were going ot the class- OF COURSE! and then asked if we would like a Buxom - DOUBlE OF COURSE!! and handed us a full sized Gabby. OMG!!!! I asked him how it was to work with Leslie and he told me that he's been a driver for a long time and Leslie is the nicest person he's ever worked for. <3


We then headed to the Market. After lunch Wendy said to me. "I have an idea. Do you want to get Leslie a gift?" "YES!" (We later then realized that if she had asked anyone else they would have thought she was weird, lol) So we went to an Amish stand and bought Leslie Amish Friendship Tea and Amish Friendship Soup.

....back  at the hotel we got ready. We looked fabulous! Wendy was in all black (super cute shoes!) and I was in a white dress with a black sweater. Hello- only the two of use would be coordinated without planning to be! (BTW- I wore Cupcake all over, Big Smile foiled on the lid and Wildflower lined and in the crease). 


We headed over to the Ritz as excited as two girls can be!!!!!
