Beauty Night Out Conludes in Baltimore
Sin PR's BNO has been a must attend in DC so I was not surprised at the amazing turn out at the first BNO Baltimore. Ladies arrived excited and after their first glimpse of the fabulous vendors, delicious hors d' oeuvres, and the amazing view from Pier 5 Hotel, they settled in for an evening of pampering and girl talk. Facials, foot soaks and even teeth whitening kept every guest feeling special and more beautiful than when they arrived and that's not all. This fabulous experience was topped off by a fantastically heavy gift bag full of moisturizers, shower gels, a beauty book and more. Every woman likes to feel special and BNO Baltimore delivered just that.
