Austin Beauty Week Fall 2012 To Support Susan G. Komen For The Cure Austin

Some of Audrey Hepburn‘s most famous words are, “I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick. I believe in pink.” If you find yourself agreeing with her, then you have to attend Austin Beauty Week with me. This fall, the series of events will benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure in Austin.

In this day and age, we women are as busy as ever. We’re strong, driven and intelligent individuals. We often have to be reminded to slow down and treat ourselves – and lavishly, that is. During the week of October 22-27, given that we’ll be caught up in the hustle-and-bustle of our daily lives, Austin Beauty Week will be here to save us with a bunch of tempting beauty specials. It’s saying to us, “Stop, relax. Use me. Embrace me. Love me.” And that, ladies, we shall do.

Austin Beauty Week is dedicated to beauty and wellness, and pampering you inside and out. It is a week full of events to spoil yourself with. The events will include both services and refreshments (including cocktails!) – many of which are complimentary.
