How To Get Invited to Influencer/Brand Events + Most Memorable Ones I’ve Been To In Toronto

NYX Prom: Class of 2016

Last night I attended the NYX Canada Prom "Class of 2016" event. The venue was a bit of an odd choice - at Berkeley Church in Toronto. They totally transformed the space though, and it was beautiful inside! It was a very pink, photo-booth-filled evening with lots of goodies and great people!

They had a DJ playing all night and also phototraprphers and videographers there to capture all special moments of the night!

In the centre of the room, there was a large lip shaped installation where you could sign your name on it. The Eaton Centre store is opening TODAY so I wonder if they are putting this display in the store somewhere? We will have to wait and see!

I was able to bring a guest, so I brought my friend Nessa, who attends Ryerson for Fashion Communications. We both had lots of fun!

Upon departure of the venue, we were all given a small black backpack with some gifts inside! I love how they stuck to the Prom / High  School theme and threw in a NYX colouring book, some pencil crayons and their 'Beauty School Dropout' palette. 

Below are the photos we got taken in the photo booth! Nessa and I met two super sweet girls there. Check out Joyce and Jen's Instagram pages!

NYX in the Six | My First Toronto Event

I was invited to a "NYX in the Six" event last night for the pre-grand opening celebration of the NYX Cosmetics store. It officially opened doors (today) on Queen West in Toronto! I was lucky enough to have brought my friend from school (Lexi) as a guest too.

This was my first real Toronto event that I attended and it was so much fun. They had free treats, drinks, and lots of free goodies! We even got gift bags, which was so cool and totally unexpected!

They had a "create your own custom palette" bar with lots of fun colours to choose from - and then they made it up for you on the spot, stamped it with your name, and you got to take it home. Pictured above is the beautiful palette Lexi made. 

Here is the palette I got stamped with my name on it! 

Here are some photos of the contents of the gift bags. 

Thank you NYX Canada for having us - it was a great event!
