"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" ... or so they say. But we all do little things to help enhance what we're working with. I'm not a big makeup person myself, but the first time my friend showed me the magic of bronzer, I was hooked.

So imagine my complete horror and dismay to find out there's going to be a Beauty Night Out this Saturday, June 18 — horror and dismay because I won't be able to attend.

This event, to be held at the Aveda Institute (1520 South Blvd. # 150) from 5 p.m.-8 p.m., serves as the launch party for celebrity makeup artist Jami Svay's new book, The BEAUTY­-Full Guide. The shindig will include a book signing, complimentary beauty services, such as makeovers by the Jami Svay pro-artistry team, spa treatments by Aveda students and additional pampering from The Brow Bar, Glo Glam Mobile Tan and more.

From the press release:

The Beauty?Full soirée hosts other amazing happenings and features to include additional pampering from The Brow Bar, Glo Glam Mobile Tan, the CLT Style Lounge designed by Shawna Robinson of Happy Chair and Charlotte Style Magazine, a tell?all Beauty Confessional hosted by Charlotte Tidbits and The Boutique Bar featuring Scoop Charlotte. Guests will enjoy a light summer fare menu of tapas, wine, fruit and other beautifully sweet indulgences to compliment the evening including a fresh yogi bar by Pinkberry.

So yes, you lucky ladies who get to go: It's going to be a great time. (Insert a look of envy here.)
