Her vision is limitless. She shines so bright that she lights up the dream in my heart, and I know she does the same for everyone she reaches.
Today was a fulfilling day because I got to check out some spectacular treasures at the Hester Street Fair in NYC (LES) and above all, I got to meet my inspiration, Michelle Phan!
If you have ever been on the Internet, you have probably seen something about Michelle and her work. Michelle has evolved into a superstar in the beauty industry and has pioneered in the world of DIY and social media success.
In a nutshell, Michelle has worked her heart out and it is safe to say she has “made it.” I have susbcribed to Michelle’s YouTube channel Michelle Phan since 2006 and she has been a source of inspiration to me ever since.
To name a few of her accomplishments:

Michelle recently launched Em Cosmetics, her very own cosmetics line in collaboration with L’Oréal cosmetics:
And of course, she also spearheaded the YouTube beauty guru-inspired subscription service called Ipsy:
These are just a few reasons why Michelle Phan is someone to admire.
Her vision is limitless. She shines so bright that she lights up the dream in my heart, and I know she does the same for everyone she reaches.
At the Hester Street Fair, you have a chance to meet local artisans, chefs and jewelers. The first thing I did was head straight to Michelle’s Em Cosmetics tent to check out the goods and meet the ultimate beauty guru:

A brilliant touch is the empty bubble, where you can mix the colors to make your own shade!
I had such a great time–another magical NYC moment. Thanks to Michelle for her kindness and grace.
Ladies, never give up on your dreams and always reach for the brightest star!
