So right before this semester began, my computer had a little crisis and decided to die on me! =((
Which means I have lost nine...yes you heard right--NINE new videos that I had made for you guys...along with my work from my undergrad and grad school...and family pictures of my late grandmothers that I love.

I have faith that some how my father (who works with computers for a living), will be able to help me!  If for whatever reason, my computer is beyond repair, I have def. learned my lesson of backing up everything I do!

Because I am now in my last year of grad school (already!), and of the computer mishaps, I will not be posting on here as much as I like to.  I normally do one post on here a week.  Instead, I will be posting more on my blog, which is what I wanted to do in the first place. 

This video was put together very quickly just to show my subscribers who are not yet connected with me on twitter, facebook, or my blog: what I have been up to since my computer went kaput!

I also wanted to take this time to thank all of my lovely subscribers, friends, and viewers on here: I do all of this for you guys! I truly love everything beauty related, and I love reporting back to you guys about great finds, hauls and looks of course!

Love you guys!

Korres Fashion Night Out Event

On September 10th, 2009, I was invited by my childhood friend Kathy, who works for Korres-- to their "Fashion Night Out Event".  It was a blast! I invited a fellow you tuber Carol to come with me and we had complimentary facials done!  I hope to soon interview Heather Mancini, Director of the Korres Retail Stores.  So keep an eye out for that!

The Descritpion of the Event on the Korres Facebook page:

"Head to Korres SoHo [110 Wooster Str] or Brooklyn [140 Montague Av] on September 10, from 6pm to 11pm for a ‘Detox Bubbles, Cupcakes & More’ evening. Both stores will feature a detox bar, serving complimentary antioxidant-infused cocktails based on the Greek skincare brand’s natural ingredients – Wild Rose, Pomegranate, Thyme Honey & Sugar Crystal, along with natural cupcakes. Detox on the outside too, with a Korres makeover or get advice on how to wear VOGUE’s hottest new season color looks using “green” make-up.

The Foundation from Korres that everyone has been blogging & raving about:

 

Me getting ready for my facial, and Kathy working her skills on me!

The eyeliners that Korres makes are amazing! I might just have to go back & pick some up! They glide on smoothly, have a great color payoff, and wont smudge--even in the water line!  This is the first time I found an eye pencil that stays on in my water line.

The eye pencils by Korres, and swatches of them:

Thanks so much for inviting me to the Korres Fashion Night Out Event Kathy!

 

The night of the event, I purchased a package of three Lip Butters in "Jasmine", "Quince", and "Pomegranate".  This product is "a buttery lip balm that melts on the lips and offers a shiny, tinted finish.  The combination of shea butter and rice wax offers deep hydration and softness, ideal for chapped lips".

I enjoyed these products, the event, and customer service so much, I had to come back with my parents who also had facials done!  May I just add that Korres, a company founded in Greece, also has a great line of products for men? Keep that in mind for your special man's birthday or the next holiday coming up! Korres has a gift package of great products for men such as after shave, etc., that would make a great Father's Day Gift!

My father very much enjoyed getting a facial on his birthday =)
