The last few days have been amazing! I attended Total Beauty's annual blog summit. It's Fashion Week in NYC and Thursday was Fashion Night Out so that added to the festivities and excitement.Normally, I don't get all caught up in the glitz and glamor, downplaying things and keeping it mostly natural. However, how could one not get caught up in all the beauty, skin care, fragrance and style :-)
I wanted to share all of the events, photos and a special video I had done of me getting my face air brushed at Sephora. NOW I know how the models look so darn flawless. It's fake LOL.
Before I get down to sharing (which will take place in a number of posts), I wanted to give a big hearty THANK YOU to Total Beauty for making the beauty tour and informative seminars possible. I can not express my gratitude enough. I got to meet some amazing people in the beauty industry who I may never have crossed paths with.
During our Total Beauty tour in New York City, I had the pleasure of visiting and going behind the scenes with Victoria's Secret Beauty, Chanel, Tractenberg & Company (a large PR firm), Kiehl's, Molton Brown, Warren Tricomi (at the Plaza Hotel in NYC), and the infamous L'Oreal.
I have to give big props to Victoria's Secret and L'Oreal. They really took care of us. I can't even do them justice by giving them a little honorable mention so I will share with you separately about my time with them and some of the others that help shape our world of beauty. Over the week or so, I will share in defined detail the wonderful things that I experienced on Wednesday and Thursday. In the meantime, here's an overview:
Wednesday (traveled most of the day via tour bus):
- Met up with Total Beauty team and received a nice tote bag (to the right) filled with some nice goodies (chocolate...yippee!, water, pretzels, a travel coffee mug, signature notebook and pen)
- Breakfast and new product previews (yet to be released!...coming for the Holidays) at Victoria's Secret headquarters. They were very generous to us bloggers and I can't wait to share this one with you in a day or so. Hint: 1,000 Wishes
- Visited Chanel Boutique in Soho and received a sneak peak of some of their latest skin care offerings. Chanel sent us on our way with a nice little signature bag that contained one of their nude nail color polish and some of the new skin care samples
- Visited Tractenberg & Co. to preview products from 22 of the brands they provide PR for. They also provided lunch. This was a very busy site as there were so many products to view. I am not going to share them all with you because some were not nearly as impressive as others. Over the next few days, I am going to give you my opinion on the products I sampled and were impressed with.
- Visited Kiehl's (signature skin care store around since 1851!) and received an overview of new products and some generous samples and a full size jar of their body cream (very luxurious and decadent...more on this in a future post)
- Visit to Molton Brown for a preview of some of their new products and a snack of mini cupcakes
- Visited Warren Tricomi at the Plaza Hotel for introductions to some of their product offerings. This place is truly classy. I was introduced to a number of product lines. 3 or 4 of them left a really good impression on me and I will share that in a few days as well. I also met up with one of the buyers and she requested that I get her some samples of my Blended Naturals line!! I can't wait to share this one for you. Imagine li'l ole me at The Plaza!
- Night ended with dinner at TAO, a hot spot in NYC. Dinner was delicious and a raffle was conducted of which two lucky ladies won a video cam and an I Touch. Here are some photos from dinner:
