I’m back from my trip to Atlanta for the #FDFabulous event, hosted by Family Dollar. All I can say is brands, brands, BRANDS! I kicked off my trip in the 2016 GMC Denali Terrain, the only SUV suited to that enhance my beauty and bossy bossiness. When I arrived at the event, there were so many beauty and cosmetic brands being represented and showcased, I was sure that a branding influencer like myself had died and went to beauty blogger heaven. Family Dollar went out of their way to deliver events that gave bloggers and vloggers the opportunity to get up close and personal with the products that women use to enhance their natural beauty and the results were phenomenal.
#FDFabulous was an exclusive experience for beauty bloggers and influencers. Events like this are usually centered on one specific brand. #FDFabulous had over two dozen brands being featured and all of them had their own spotlighted space. It was an interactive learning experience that provided tutorials, demonstrations and of course, samples! To add to the festivities, recording artist/actor Tank serenaded the ladies in the room, which made us swoon even more. Along with getting to know the details of certain products, I also got to mix and mingle with beauty bloggers from across the country. Mitzi Miller, editor-in-chief of Ebony Magazine, hosted a panel which featured celebrity hairstylists Chilli (Rhianna’s hairstylist), Lloyd Boston (Michelle Obama’s hairstylist) and Larry Sims (Zendaya’s hairstylist), who also dazzled my tresses. . Interestingly, no matter where in the country each blogger came from, there were products that piqued all of our interests. From haircare to cosmetics, #FDFabulous covered it all. The event was a hit and I look forward to returning next year.
