I attended the Garnier Greener Future Tour on yesterday.  I was invited to the event by Shalanda, my fellow Houston Fashion Blogger of Live-Life-In-Style.com.

It was a nice mobile set up.

Shalanda and I

Reigna and I.  She’s another one of my fellow Houston Fashion Bloggers.  Check out her blog at KoutuReign.com

One of the Garnier reps explaining how the recycling Beauty Brigade works.

Garnier Rep giving lots of info on the new Greener products.  Something that stood out to me was her explanation of the difference between recycling and upcycling.    Upcycle = product resembles’s it’s original state (purse made from chips bag/juice box).  Recycle doesn’t necessarily look like original product.

Shalanda had a section in appreciation for her readers and special guests. Check out the cute Garnier cupcakes. :-)

There were hair stylists working with Garnier providing hair demos with the new Garnier products.  That’s Amy in the chair.

Here’s a close up of some of the products that were used.

 I’ve heard other bloggers talk about Essie Polish but this is my first bottle.

I received this bottle of Essie polish as a Klout Perk. I’m so glad I did. It’s a gorgeous pink.

I combined it with my beauty supply polishes

Kiss Nail Art in Silver Glitter, Absolute in Lavender (my most recent NOTD you can see here) and Sinful Colors in Let’s Talk.

This polish retails for $8.  I’ll have to see how long it lasts before I can decide whether I’d spend $8 for a bottle of polish.  I tend to stick to inexpensive polish because when I used pricey polishes, I haven’t noticed a difference in the longevity. No matter the brand or even if I get my nails professionally done, polish on my natural nails doesn’t last more than 3 days on average.  :-(
