Some might say that having your makeup done before an hour-long yoga session would be silly, maybe even a waste of time, right? But that's exactly what Bobbi Brown's Team had in mind when they invited a group of beauty blogging mavens to participate in Bobbi's Coffee to Cocktails Long-Wear Challenge.

I can't even begin to tell you how amazing it was to spend time backstage during New York Fashion Week (NYFW) with some of the most celebrated makeup artists, designers, hairstylists, and beauty insiders in the biz. My week kicked-off when I sat down for a one-on-one interview with Mr. Roberto Cavalli himself (amazing!) and ended yesterday with another A-list interview that still has me grinning from ear-to-ear...

I remember seeing Bobbi Brown on the Today Show last year talking about her Pretty Powerful campaign and thinking it was such a great idea. It focused on helping real women to embrace their unique beauty and showed how the right makeup can help you to feel Pretty Powerful. Brilliant, right?!?!

This year Pretty Powerful 2.0 kicked off with 30 new women, before and after photos, videos, and face charts, making it easier than ever for anyone to achieve a Pretty Powerful look. While I'm not officially part of this group of 30 fabulous women, I was fortunate enough to receive my own Pretty Powerful Makeover from Bobbi's Director of Global Artistry, Kim Soane.
