MAC Cosmetics Dinner Party!
WHERE? I was fortunate enough to be extended an invitation to a dinner party hosted by MAC Cosmetics held at Perbacco in San Francisco, as a sort of kick-off to San Francisco’s Fashion Week.
WHO? Two key artists, Victor Cembellin and Louise Zizzo; along with Allison Greenberg and Heather Park, who work with public relations and the Global Communications department at MAC in New York. As far as guests went, I met several local bloggers and writers, including Donna over at the San Jose Mercury News; Annie, editor of Bellasugar.com; Sheryl, a freelance writer for Glamour.com, Mandy at Los Gatos Weekender, Karen from Makeupandbeautyblog.com, and several other guests (about 12-15 people total).
L-R: Heather, Louise, Annie (Bellasugar), Me, Victor, Allison
The party was situated in the Barolo (a private room) at Perbacco, and the table was already lined with appetizing platters of dried meats and cheese. There was an endless supply of both red and white wines (just water for yours truly), and lovely floral arrangements at each end of the table. I must say, the company was absolutely excellent – conversation flowed so freely from one topic to another, but inevitably, tended to gravitate towardsâ€
You one BLessed Lady..I’m really proud of you and all that you are doing for people who wish to know nore about MAC products. You think that you were honored, no honey, they were HONORED to have you there, trust me. For MAC knows that people look forward to your reviews and if you so, it’s a NO GO, then it’s a no GO. So, keep doing it one never knows what’s in store for them….******
I know, it was such a great opportunity, and I’m raelly glad I was able to take it 🙂
Thank you for your sweet comments, so much!!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. The corporate side of the business is something I am interested in (in addition to product of course!), and I’m grateful for the insight you have provided.
What an honor to be in the prescence of individuals who indeed exemplify the brand and everything MAC stands for. Many kudos to you.
