Hola Chicas!
Monday evening, I had the wonderful opportunity to attend Lord & Taylor’s exclusive hard-hat preview of their new makeup counter launching this fall. Picture me and about 30 other bloggers decked out in pink hard hats as we traipsed around the main floor of the 5th Avenue flagship store. All I can say is thank you to the lovely folks at Chictopia for extending the invitation.
I consider myself to be a bit makeup challenged, so it was great speaking to the experts and getting their advice on how to amp up my glam factor. Folks, trust me when I say that the new renovation makes choosing the right look virtually fool-proof. According to Estee Lauder, a whopping 95% of ladies are wearing the wrong foundation for their skin tone! Their solution: customizable lighting to mimic the environment where you’ll be wearing your makeup.
For those of you who are a little more self-assured and know exactly what you want, Clinique unveiled a new self-service station with the promise that if you carry around one of the little wire baskets, the sales associates will leave you alone and let you shop in peace.
For me, the highlight was the Lancome counter which features the world’s first mascara bar and is fully stocked with all 117 shades of their foundation available in 10-day sample sizes so that you can try before you commit.
Of course, there were plenty of samples and goodie bags to go around. I’m a skincare and bath product junkie so couldn’t wait to dig into the face masks and body washes when I got home. However, since I am still somewhat clueless when it comes to makeup (despite all the education I received at the event), I haven’t even touched the lipsticks, blush, eyeshadows and mascara. My loss is your gain since I seriously smell a makeup giveaway coming on…
Wait for it…
