GBK returned to New York Fashion Week this season, hosting a Luxury Gift and Styling Lounge with Sparkling Hill Resort on September 6th and 7th at The Empire Hotel. Celebrity guests included Jay Manuel and Miss J of "America's Next Top Model", Celebrity Stylist June Ambrose, Ice-T of "Law and Order SVU" and his wife and model Coco Austin and Matt Letscher, Katie Findlay and Chloe Bridges of "The Carrie Diaries".
As soon as I walked through the door I was greeted by Sparkling Hill Resort, a European-inspired wellness resort known as the first resort in the world to incorporate Swarovski crystal elements into every aspect of its design.
At the lounge there was a bevy of beauty and fashion brands, but first I had to try the Mango and Strawberry Moscato from Viva Diva Wines by Christina Milian. The sweet Mango Moscato is a new favorite of mine that I'll be looking for the next time I'm at Wal-Mart.
Two brands I looked forward to seeing again were Presenting Sponsors Pilot Pen and Hard Candy. Pilot Pen offered their new assortment including their FriXion Clicker, Acroball Pure White and G2 Fashion FriXion Clicker erasable pens. Some of my new Hard Candy favorites include the green 'Ivy League' Mod Quad baked eye shadow set, All Lid Up creme eye shadow in 'Quick Sand', All Dressed Up hydrating lip stain in 'Chic' and Megawatt Smile lipstick + tooth whitener in 'Stay Bright'.
There were some more beauty brands I had the pleasure of meeting with, including D'Mademoiselle Pure Mineral Makeup and Skincare Product, Nikki's Magic Wand and EcoGenics Active Botanical Skin Care. I look forward to using D'Mademoiselle's Illuminating Finishing Powder in 'Moonbeam', Lip Toxyl Sheer - an advanced, lip plumping gloss infused with real diamond dust in 'Princess' and Dual Action Makeup Remover in for eyes and lips. Nikki's Magic Wand will come in handy for scraping out what's left of my almost-empty lip gloss tubes. EcoGenics Active Botanical Skin Care is a unique combination of nature and science, paraben free and ideal for all skin types. Their 5 Steps to Beautiful Skin Travel Kit comes with a cleanser, skin serum, moisturizer, micro-dermabrasion cream and a mineral masque souffle.
Cynthia Gale Jewelry showcased modern, urban eclectic, art inspired, sterling silver jewelry. Lulu Avenue featured their fashion jewelry such as the Madrid Double Wrap Bracelet and Venetian Cuff.
