So last Sunday I had the luxury of getting full-on pampered with friends before the big Lakers vs. Celtics game.  It's pretty rare to attend a beauty blogger-only event in LA so I was elated when CoverGirl told me they were hosting a soiree before the MTV Video Music Awards at Byron & Tracey in Beverly Hills.  All my LA favorites were in attendance that morning- Sydne from Think thru Fashion, Nadine from Nadine Jolie, Amber from Beauty Junkies Unite, Kristen and Sarah from Total Beauty, etc. and Sydne and I were amped to get glammed up before going to my college friend Scott's birthday/Lakers party later that day.  While the girls and I sipped mimosas, Rashida Jones from "Parks and Rec" (and Jim's ex girlfriend on "The Office") got her makeup done for the MTV awards show.  What did we think about Rashida?  Wow.  Not only was she gorgeous, but she's also funny and super smart.  It was awesome watching the fabulous Molly R. Stern (CoverGirl's makeup artist) do Rashida's makeup and listen to their funny banter.

Check out some pics from the event!
