nyc socialite?

one of the best things about fashion week is that many of my beauty blogger friends from all over the country travel to nyc and we get to catch up (on products).

in addition to the runway shows and backstage interviews there have been back-to-back social events. total beauty and aveda sponsored a dinner for the total beauty i-correspondents friday night at KOI (however, i did not take any pictures there because i looked like a drowned rat from the crazy downpour that evening).


before heading over to MAC's indochine event erika, julia, daneen, amber and i attended the launch event for melissa walker's new book violet by design and christopher kane's juicy tubes at the lancome boutique. while there i also had the fabulous leandro bare do my makeup (hence my much improved look in the above picture). if you ever at the nyc lancome boutique - please have him do your makeup. at indochine i met some new blogging friends - dina, henna, and tamar.

daneen and i posed for a picture with one of mac's key artists, victor c. he attended the dinner after working backstage all day and sweetly entertained dozens of blogger's makeup trick questions.

and finally just this morning md skincare showed off their newest products over breakfast at alice's teacup (above is a picture of connie and i from this event). i have already practically used up the powerful sun protection lip balm sample they gave me!

and somehow i also managed to vote today (yay super tuesday!). and now i'm relaxing with an eggplant parm hero on my couch.
