Hard Candy launch

This week I brought a couple of my InStyle co-workers with me to the launch event for Hard Candy. It will be sold exclusively at Walmart beginning the third week of September. I don't have the rest of the press material with me right now, but D2 Publicity's event at the Bryant Park Hotel loft was great! The make-up is fun with pretty packaging and bright, bold colors. Lots of glitter and glam to go along with many of the products--it would be hard to miss once it hits the shelves. There was a make-up artist and lip reader giving free make-up consultations at the event too. And I have to say there were really delicious hors d'oeuvres!

Jewelry, Bags and Shoes... Oh my

This week was sort of a slow week in beauty land for weddings since we're in between issues. So I offered to help out main book in the accessories department for a few days, which was a very interesting experience since I've never worked in a fashion closet before (but have done tons of staring...). I actually learned a lot about how things work in there and it's nice getting to know different editors from other departments. And okay, I was really close to stealing a 1/2 pair of Louboutins (I learned press samples of shoes usually only come in 1/2 pairs for photoshoots because that's all they need...), but who cares that it's only one shoe? My right foot would be totally kick-ass.
