bloom does beauty...

Glitz, Gloss and Glam was everything it promised to be and more as we got our beauty on at the Bell Tower this week. It was a night full of beauty tips and tricks from Bell Tower and the amazing NARS girls and lots of sparkle, pop and shopping with sweet Sorrelli. Add that to the B Scene at Berks County Living and you've got a room full of beautifully happy Berks County fashionistas!



Sorrelli sandwich with PR goddess Amanda Zeigler; Marketing and Creative Director, Lily Oswald; Founder and Designer, Lisa Oswald; and Bloom girl Christin. The sweets and sparkles during the evening were divine. And Amanda got a lip lesson from the one and only Jen Atwood at NARS.
 

Bell Tower make-up goddess Pav giving Christin a crash course in Eyeliner 101.  The result: eyes that POP! The secret: lining the bottom lid too! Pav taught us that it gives more contrast against the white of your eye. Brilliant!

Naturally perfect skinned Phoebe went for some elegant eye make up with Pav and WOW, that brown-eyed girl has really got it going on with a little added glam.
Christin's leather peplum (yes, the one from Zara) was the talk of the town that evening.  Her WIW action:  F21 boyfriend ripped jeans, Dolce Vita heels from Bell Tower, and Sorrelli sparkle.

Being beautiful isn't just about loving yourself inside and out as the Bloom girls learned, you've also got to know how to POSE! As we learned...head down, chin out! Or just laugh so hard at each other doing it you're sure to snap a good shot.


A special thanks to the lovely Amanda Zeigler for getting us on the guest list and keeping the Bloom girls glam.
