Last night I couldn't sleep (not because of the sudden appearance of ants in my room) and when I finally went to bed I only slept 3 hours before waking up from excitement and angst. I was so pumped to get ready for Beautycon! If you don't know what it is, it's like Comic Con but Beauty Con, get it?
So anyway, the event was scheduled to start at 10AM, so I decided to get there early (like an hour and a half early) to ensure that I would get ONE of the 100 postcards Weylie (ilikeweylie) was going to pass out during her meet and greet. I parked at 8:30AM and when I started walking to the location, I was a little disappointed. There was already a line. Yes, at 8:45AM there was a line that was half a block long. I thought, good thing I'm early, until two hours later I was still in line at 10:45AM. At this point everyone was dying from the burning sun and I was so sure I'd get sunburn (which I did because I didn't bring sunscreen).
I finally got in at 11AM and was so overwhelmed by the different signs. I got my GA wristband and started wandering where the crowd was.
To summarize everything, there were a lot of small freebies: greek yogurt, popcorn, "secret" gift from bareMinerals, button pins, phone case or flip flop DIYs, lulus jewelry&clothing spin-the-wheel raffle/prize, and I'm sure there were more.
I was able to meet my YT idols: ilikeweylie, fromheadtotoe, and xteeener. They were usually spotted together. I got pictures and gave them my homemade snicker doodles and a thank you/greeting card. For Weylie, I actually made a quote journal with quotes from her Instagram.
Overall it was a great day (besides the 2hour+ wait in line and sunburn). I am so fortunate to be living in LA where I get the opportunity to meet so many YT stars. Last time I was at IDEA fitness convention and got to meet Cassey Ho from blogilates. Both that convention and this one were FREE. Must keep my eyes peeled for more free events in the future :)
And that concludes my post.
