Last night the Polish Bar of Brooklyn and special guest host, The Fashion Bomb, introduced its “Five Point Beauty Focus” (brow shaping, makeup services, lash application, trend manicures, and pampering massages), in the first installation of the Get Pretty! event series. The brand’s PRO Beauty team, Rebecca Casciano and Starr Blackshere worked their magic on close to 50 beautiful faces as part of the evening’s festivities. Many, many thanks to Goodie Box Bake Shop, Nik Wes Creative, and all of the fly bloggers and digital scribes who helped make last night so amazing!

Last Thursday evening I joined forces with Brooklyn’s beauty hot spot, Polish Bar of Brooklyn, to celebrate the brand’s FAB 5 anniversary.

With nothing but love for my fellow boss ladies, helping Tricia Lee bring her brand to life for this unforgettable milestone was an amazing experience. The event was titled FAB 5 and if I say so myself, it definitely lived up to its name
