Happy Monday Natural Beauties! This past Saturday my daughter and I took a trip to Macy’s Department Store. I was invited to attend the launch of Big Girl Cosmetics. This is a cosmetic line that was founded by Kiley Russell, a Makeup Artist who has a very inspirational story. Remember when Oprah gave away cars to everyone in her audience? Kiley was in the audience that day and decided to use her car as investment money to open her own business. Talk about vision and dedication! She now owns Big Girl Spa located in Hyde Park, IL and her cosmetic line is sold at three Macy’s locations with River Oaks Shopping Center being the latest location added to her roster.

The event featured a DJ playing live music, makeovers and a photo booth to take before and after pictures of each client. Zoie and I had fun taking pictures:)

 

After Makeup

I loved all the beautiful shades, my favorites were the Poppy blush and the bronzers.

To keep up with all of the Big Girl Cosmetics happening, visit their website here. The next time you visit  Macy’s River Oaks visit the Big Girl Cosmetics counter and don’t forget to join me at RO Shopping Center in July for the “Chicago Natural Hair Mall Tour.” Congratulations to Kiley and the Big Girl Cosmetics team!
