Hi lovelies,

One of the hottest events of the season was the VITA LIBERATA Skin Finishing Master Class with Celebrity Make-up Artist Allan Avendano held at the who's who hotspot, the Mondrian Hotel.

Beauty editors, on-fleek bloggers, savvy make-up artists, and social media influencers alike, gathered for a day of primping, pampering, champagne, and brunch poolside while being taught the coveted tanning and beauty secrets of make-up artist Allan Avendano, a celebrity make-up artist and the creator of the Sports Illustrated and Red Carpet Skin Finish.

Allan Avendano is the make-up genius responsible for the sultry and bikini-ready bodies in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue that featured it-girl models Gigi Hadid, Chrissy Teigen, and more.

We were also treated with an insider-only talk with Alyson Hogg, the lovely founder of VITA LIBERATA Luxury Skin.

One of the best beauty secrets that I learned was that even for a naturally tanned girl like me, using VITA LIBERATA can add a healthy glow and give the illusion of more defined abs and muscle tone, regardless of my natural skin tone.

My favorite goodies from my swag bag that have quickly become my beach and everyday beauty routine must-haves are the VITA LIBERATA 3-in-1 Self Tan Dry Oil SPF 50 and the Body Blur.
