Coachella recap 🎡🎟️🌵

Attending Coachella for the first time is a surreal experience, especially when it’s combined with a brand trip like the one I had with NYX Cosmetics Canada. Beyond just enjoying the music and vibrant festival atmosphere, being part of such an event gave me a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes world of brand collaborations and influencer partnerships. The trip started with a cozy dinner in Palm Springs, setting a perfect tone with fellow creators and the NYX team. Staying at a hotel that welcomed me with thoughtful gifts like the NYX ADDIE palette made me appreciate the attention to detail brands put into these collaborations. I found myself inspired to create different looks each day, from smoldering smokey eyes to laid-back festival vibes that matched the Coachella spirit. What surprised me the most was how much preparation goes into festival styling. I even did my own nails 12 hours before flying out to make sure every detail of my look was flawless. On top of makeup, NYX surprised me with thoughtful accessories like UV protection sunglasses and bracelets, which reminded me how important it is to protect your skin and eyes during outdoor events. For anyone planning to attend Coachella, my advice is to pack smartly: bring versatile makeup for different times of day, comfortable yet chic outfits, and plenty of sunscreen. It’s also worth connecting with brands or creators if possible, as these partnerships can amplify your experience and provide fantastic content opportunities. Overall, this brand trip was not just about makeup or fashion; it was about embracing creativity, community, and the unforgettable energy that Coachella offers. I hope my recap inspires others to enjoy the festival to the fullest, whether it’s their first time or they’re seasoned attendees.
