Whole Foods Natural Glow Makeup & Pampering Event - Los Altos

One of my favorite events to cover each year is Whole Foods' annual beauty sale. The 2014 and 2015 events in Campbell were such fun experiences. I was already very excited for this year's event when they mailed me these baby and skin care samples. There are still two more events this weekend so make sure you sign up for your makeover adventure!

A big thanks to Lauren from Pink on the Cheek for helping me film our experiences getting a make over with the brands at the Los Altos event. See my YouTube video below.

First I got my foundation, concealer, eye liner, and mascara done with Dr. Hauschka products. The foundation is so light weight and provides a nice even coverage. I hardly felt like I had make up on. Dr. Hauschka is also really known for their skin care products which I can vouch for from previous years' samples. I'm not concerned about having my baby kiss me with these products on since they're made with natural ingredients.

Later I went to ZuZu Luxe and Gabriel Cosmetics to touch up my brows, eye shadow, and liquid liner. I was so amazed with the pigment in their shadows and how light weight it came on. The liquid liner was also very smooth and dried quickly. They gave me gifts of the Bisque and Charcoal colors. Highly recommend these shadows as a combo.

All the goodies from the event!

This cutie Lauren got a makeover from Mineral Fusion, ZuZu, and Gabriel Cosmetics. Her skin looked flawless.

A few food vendors were at the event including these yummy healthy Coco Roons from Wonderfully Raw.

And we have a brief but refreshing cider tasting with Rambling Route from Washington. The Apricot and Yakima ciders were my favorites.

Whole Foods Natural Glow Makeup and Pampering Event - Bay Area

 Around this time of year, I look forward to the Whole Body by Whole Foods annual pampering events. In 2014, there was an event promoting a 10 Days of Beauty sale at the Campbell location. I had a blast getting my nails done and noshing on good wholesome food. For 2015, I enjoyed getting my nails painted with chemical free Zoya polish at the Makeup Breakup event.

Last week, Whole Foods sent me a personally curated package of goodies. Here's my little man modeling the products. 

Weleda Baby Shampoo and Body Wash

Weleda Baby Diaper Rash Cream - We already started using it and I'm impressed with the fast acting cream. It works as well as the Aquaphor one I use except Weleda's has natural ingredients. As you recall, we have lots of baby skin issues.

DeVita Solar Protective Moisturizer with SPF 30 - This one's all for mommy! I wear moisturizer with SPF everyday even if I only expect to be outside for as long as it takes to walk from the car to the office. Sun protection is a big deal for me.

Some other brands I look forward to seeing at this year's event is Giovanni's line of hair products. I was really impressed with their 2Chic shampoo and conditioner the other year. All the Mineral Fusion products I've tried from nail polish to face wash have been great. I also really look forward to seeing more from Dr. Hauschka skincare.

The event is open to the public, you can sign up for the event with the information below. I hope to see you at the Los Altos event!

Whole Body by Whole Foods - 10 Days of Beauty

The Whole Body store, the personal care arm of Whole Foods, invited select bloggers to their media preview party last Friday. Whole Body has a hair salon and dry nail spa in store as well as a wide array of beauty products. True to form, Whole Body shares the same caliber of environmentally safe and humane standards for their selection of products as the Whole Foods stores do for their groceries and produce. They encourage vendors to use natural and plant based ingredients with gentle preservatives. There is absolutely no animal testing done on the selection of personal care products. Read more about Whole Body on their website.

Starting February 7-9th, facial care is 25% off

From February 12-16th, make up is 30% off

To kick off the preview to their sale, Whole Body treated us bloggers to a catered event by the Kitchen at Whole Foods, using all ingredients found in the grocery store. And free wine!

Aromatic soaps on display

Body scrubs and champagne

We got our nails manicured at the salon using brands like Zoya and Mineral Fusion which have mild chemicals and long lasting colors.

Whole Body carries a large selection of Weleda brand skin food. Weleda uses sustainable ingredients from fair trade partners to cultivate natural beauty.

 Desiree was on hand to style everyone's hair at the hair salon. We had a good chat about food while she worked and I have now befriended yet another foodie!

I took this photo from my friend, Olivia, who has a much more in depth and comprehensive break down of the event. I'm glad she caught a photo of me getting primped because all you ever see on this blog is food stuffs. Check out her blog here.

Whole Body also gave us a ton of product samples to try. Most of which I will be using on my Asia trip. I can't wait to share on Facebook or Instagram my experiences with the products.

Check out the Whole Body salon and store in Campbell, especially during their sale starting on February 7!
