Caravan Stylist Studio Beauty Event: Insider Info, Swag Bags & More!
I went to my first fancy beauty event and it was pretty sweet. I heard about it from a Facebook post! A girl from my college posted about her internship at the Caravan Stylist Studio and mentioned a beauty event looking to invite bloggers and beauty interns. I am currently both of those things so I messaged her and scored an invite! I also brought along my make-up obsessed friend Gab to help!

I can’t stop staring at it. Is that narcissistic? Or am I just an artist proud of her work? I’ve always been fond of pastel goth trend. If you haven’t heard of that it’s basically cute pastels crossed with black and goth elements.
