CVS was the title Sponsor of the event. We got to try out some amazing BB creams. BB creams if you have not tried them they are a fun product. The are face creams that act as a moisturizer, foundation, primer, and smooths out your tone. They had a wide selection from, age defining, to ones with great spfs.

Also they had a some great hair thickening products.  Like the Nexus weightless thickener and Salma Hayek beauty products.
