Pamper me event : Satya Jewerly



Nearly two months ago a close friend if mine delivered her baby.

The baby was delivered at Roosevelt hospital near Columbus circle. I ran to the Wholesfood in the mall to pick up some flowers. One way out I saw this small jewelry shop. The window display had too many pieces that I liked, so I knew it wasn't going to be a two minute browsing session.

Today at The Pamper me event I got to see the jewelry from Satya again!!! ( I didn't know the brand name until today).

Their pieces are genuinely exquisite.

It doesn't matter how much I have on my plate, every year I have made it my year to participate in volunteer events, walks and donate to a cause. Satya is my kind of company, as they  place a heavy emphasis on Philantropy.

"Our Mantra: Beautiful, meaningful, inspiring. We design so that anyone can view our collection and piece of jewelry that warms their heart because it is so innately true to them. Satya means truth in Sanskrit, and it is the guiding force behind all 'we do. We make jewelry of all truths and donate to children’s charities throughout the world.



Here are some of the beautiful pieces, available for sale at Satya website/stores.

Pyrite Sun Bracelet - Prism
Gunmetal and Gold Celestial Bracelet - Darkness to Light
Here Comes the Sun Bracelet - New Jade
Head over Heels Bracelet

I love this one, it's on sale as well:

Silver Bless Your Heart Necklace - Turquoise

LASHBLAST VOLUME BLASTING MASCARA: Covergirl


LashBlast Volume Blasting Mascara

LASHBLAST VOLUME BLASTING MASCARA 

CoverGirl


I totally understand why this product was selected for the Beauty Awards 2012!!!

This is my favorite makeup item, hands-down !! It is a staple in my pocketbook. Some people turn around and go back home if they leave their cellphone, Lashblast is on that same page with me. 


When I got the stores and find the LashBlast double back on sale, its like hitting the lotto. Its a magical moment because I buy more mascaras than most. I have an eye condition, which requires for me to change my mascaras very frequently ( recommended is 3 months). I change my mascara every month. 

I have tried many mascaras, many have been pretty good, maybe even great. But none excel Lashblast. Lashblast makes my eyelashes thick, long, voluptuous and defined. If I apply multiple layers, my lashes remain flawless.
