Event: 5th Annual Beauty Night Out

An wide-ranging gathering of beauty lovers turned out this past Wednesday for the 5th Annual Sin Brand Beauty Night Out held at the Longview Gallery.  The space was the perfect size for the event in which attendees were able to indulge in beauty services by local brands such as Hela Salon & Spa and VIP Mobile Day Spa

For the fashionistas a number of vendors were on hand offering an array of items sure to be a hit for Spring & Summer outings.  Cynirje owner and designer, Nakia Fisher showcased beautiful handmade jewelry and took the time to explain details to each interested visitor to her table.  Women's Clothing Store located in Arlington, VA offered a 50% discount on beautiful bright dresses and seasonally appropriate and flattering trench coats which were a big hit.  A great amount of restraint had to be exercised to refrain from taking a number of their pieces home that evening.  The store is closing for a move to a new location so the mark downs can be found in store also at 5713 Lee Hwy, Arlington, VA 22207.  Tari DC also came with racks of both vintage and contemporary pieces including a La Perla ring that caught the eye of quite a few as well as a pair of Louboutin satin pumps among other high end pieces all available for a great value.  Tari DC is located in the heart of Georgetown.

Scentsy, a relatively new brand, won quite a few over, present company included, with their enticing aromas.  A flameless, wickless candle with over 80 scent options offered samples of their newest scent to visitors.  The Scentsy consultant who also happens to be the owner of VIP Mobile Day Spa, Cameo Person, was very helpful and knowledgable about the product.  Completely won over by the safety aspect for those with little ones and the fact that the sample scent was such a hit at home they have definitely found a new customer in me!

Hello Cupcake, Honest Tea and Hope For Children in Vietnam were on hand with snacks for guests as well as an open bar with wine for those needing a bit more to unwind after a day at work. 

All were clamoring for a peek at the Beauty Bag which was made available later that night and was well worth the wait.  Samples from Kiehls, Dr. Michelle Copeland, Pencil Me In Cosmetics, Udderly Smooth and Conair were included along with gift certificates to Kenneth Cole, Hela Aesthetics, Equinox Tysons Corner and The Spa at Mandarin Oriental

As a beauty lover I am pleased to say SIN Brand put on a great event.  For those that didnt get to attend this year I would recommend arriving as close to, if not before the event begins, in this case it was 5p, to beat the crowd and ensure your place in line for the beauty services.  Do not forget your wallet!  Many of the vendors have one of a kind wares that would be a welcome addition to your closet.  Wear comfortable shoes, there is much to see and experience.  I will absolutely plan to attend again next year.
