Positively Polite

Yesterday, I attended Carmindy's book signing at Sephora on Bloor St. in Toronto. The store was buzzing with women (and a few men like my boyfriend who I dragged to the event) needless to say Sephora looked like it did on opening day. Women hurriedly grabbing makeup & skincare items as if their were some sort of shortage. Regardless, how the economy might be at the moment you wouldn't know a deep recession was around the corner with the way women were spending. OK so I'm raising my hand slowing as I too couldn't resist & purchased Benefit's Boi-ing Concealer (review to follow). So now to the long book signing line-up, which wasn't that bad & having my boyfriend/photographer with me the line-up was a breeze. Carmindy took her time to talk to everyone individually, obviously time permitting, & was such a doll. She's really nice, friendly, and down-to-earth. Alot of ladies were asking for makeup advice & she graciously answered. As for the book, I stayed up late last night trying to read everything but got too sleepy. Therefore, haven't finished yet. She offers some great advice & there is a chapter with makeovers where she lists the products used, which I loved because there's nothing worse than seeing a look you like & not knowing what products were used. As for her lip colour at the signing she told me it was from her Sally Hansen line, which should be coming to Canada shortly. There are more dates for her book signing just check her site Carmindy for more info!
