We’re finally back home after a whirlwind trip to New York.

Thanks to Total Beauty, who invited us to serve on their Blog Community Advisory Board and be a part of this incredible beauty tour, we experienced a day and a half of non-stop fun. We learned about new prestige beauty products, toured beauty departments at Bergdorf Goodman, Henry Bendel and Space NK, and met the publisher and beauty editors of Allure. (We sat next to Amy Keller, Allure beauty director who has the most gorgeous skin ever, and across from Fiona Gibb, Allure Web editor whose sassy bangs we’re coveting, during lunch.)

Aside from meeting the editors of our favorite magazines, the highlight of our trip was hanging out with some of the best beauty bloggers on the internet. It was great to see our friend Kristen from Beauty Addict again and so much fun to meet new friends Annie from Blogdorf Goodman, Tia from Shake Your Beauty, Michelle from All Lacquered Up, Connie & Caroline from The Daily Obsession, and Sara from Bit by the Beauty Bug.

We sampled some amazing new products and had some wonderful experiences that we’ll be telling you all about in the coming weeks.

While we get ourself unpacked and settled in here at home, here’s a few pictures from our trip for you to enjoy:

Here we are at dinner at Culture Kitchen (not sure if that’s the right name…) Sitting across from Tia is Emrah Kovacoglu, President & CEO of Total Beauty.
