Thi Cosmetic's Press Event

On April 2nd, we hosted our first ever Thi Cosmetic Press Event! It was an opportunity for Taylor and me to officially showcase our cosmetic line and our new storefront to the local press and media. Guests received a complimentary eyelash application – a huge hit with all the women!

Designed by the ridiculously talented Gloria Wong Tritasavit, our quaint and cozy studio was transformed into a sweet frenchy-moderne design accented with black baroque, fresh flowers, and plush feathers throughout the room. Our products were displayed as delectable goodies in glass apothecary jars and fancy cake stands - almost sweet enough to taste! The evening was filled with music, scrumptious desserts by Jen's Cake, and a little bubbly to get the evening started.

The event was a huge success and we couldn’t have done it without the generous support of our good friends and industry colleagues. We want to give a huge THANK YOU to our talented and gifted sponsors:

Gloria Wong Tritasavit: the visionary and creator behind the design concept
Bianca Mascorro of Little Miss Press: for the lavish media & press invitations
Paige Benjamin of Passifloradesigns: for the creative and beautiful floral arrangements
Jen Kwapinski of Jen’s Cake: for the “ooh-so-good” desserts and cake design
John Woods of Enhanced Lighting & Sounds: for the brilliant lighting ambiance
John Le of 3 Seasons Restaurant: for the delicious appetizers
Jennifer Skog of Jennifer Skog Photography: for making the evening’s event picture-perfect
Andrew Hsu of Studio MSV: for capturing the celebration and excitement of the night

Thank you to our makeup crew: Niama, Courtney, and Irmina who worked tirelessly through the evening to make our guests feel and look amazing!

Special thanks to our wonderful husbands, Tom and Frank, for not only putting up with our hectic schedules and craziness throughout the process, but also for serving as great bartenders, DJs, cleanup crew, you name it, they did it – and with a smile!

Lastly, we'd like to thank all our family, friends, and loyal clients who has supported us throughout the years. We couldn't have made it this far without all of your love and support!

We'd like to share some photos of the night (shot by Jennifer Skog):

Here's our sassy cousin, Pam, who flew up from San Diego just for the event. She's one of our biggest fans - we love you girl!
