        <summary>Michelle Phan and Ipsy sucessfully hosted their first beauty convention, Generation Beauty, for beauty vloggers/bloggers last weekend.

I met up with a few friends and we had an awesome girls' weekend full of sampling beauty products, networking with brands, sitting in on workshops, mingling with youtube beauty vloggers, and of course...shopping.
