Beauty Tips from ZYRTEC for ALLERGY FACE Hosted by Jordana Brewster and Jamie Greenberg

My beauty look: a cross between The Weekender and The Charmer, perfect for an office daytime look

On March 29th, The makers of ZYRTEC invited media guests for a morning of beauty tips to tackle spring allergy season, hosted by actress Jordana Brewster and makeup artist Jamie Greenberg at the Gramercy Park Hotel. Following the session, guests were welcome to custom ALLERGY FACE makeovers from partner-on-demand beGlammed. 

During our session, Jordana and Jamie gave us an exclusive first look at all-new beauty looks for allergy sufferers. These looks are available exclusively on the beGlammed website and app through June 7th. 

There are three beauty looks for allergy sufferers:
The Weekender: A light, natural look 
The Charmer: Flirty, daytime look 
The Stunner: Bold look with a bright lip and smoky eye 


The Weekender beauty steps:

1.  Applying a tinted moisturizer, to hydrate and reduce the look of puffiness, caused by allergies, 2. 2.  Dabbing a color correcting concealer to cover up redness, especially around your nose.
3.  Cream blush in a soft pink or peach to give your cheeks a rosy glow.
4.  Make your eyes appear more open by curling your lashes and applying waterproof black mascara.
5.  Apply a tinted lip balm, using your fingertip for a subtler look.
6.  Spritz a setting spray to so makeup stays put all day and skin looks smooth but not shiny.

The Charmer beauty steps:

1. Apply a medium-coverage foundation to hide redness and visibly even out skin tone.
2.  Apply a brow volumizing fiber gel for a slightly fuller look.
3.  Swipe neutral-toned eyeshadow on eyelids and under your eye, fill in your lash line with a thin brown eyeliner to define the eyes. Apply waterproof mascara to upper and lower lashes.
4.  To reduce the look of puffiness, apply highlighter to the cheekbones.
5. Finish with a nude blush cheek color and soft lip color

The Stunner beauty steps:

1.  Use a green-tinted concealer to help cancel out redness. Apply a full-coverage foundation followed by a translucent powder to help set the foundation.
2.  Define your brows with a brow pencil to frame your face and distract from the puffiness.
3. Apply a dark blended eye shadow for a smoky look and cat eye with waterproof black eyeliner. Finish the eyes with a waterproof mascara - a must for dealing with watery eyes from allergies - and some false lashes for a bolder, more dramatic look. 
4. Take down the appearance of puffiness by contouring your face using flushed cheeks with slight highlight.
5. Apply a bold lip.

I got a sneak peek into this sale and all I have to say is this is one you don't want to miss! I expect the lines to be long but this is well worth the wait if you love Marc Jacobs. I couldn't believe the pricing! There was a $4400 coat I was eyeing, and with 90% off it would have been $440. All of Marc Jacobs Collection is 90% off, and Marc by Marc Jacobs is 85% off. Accessories are 80% off, which you'll find more of downstairs. 

Unfortunately there was no beauty products or shoes at this sale. Only a little selection of Little Marc shoes downstairs. Since I already splurged at the United Nude sale, I refrained from buying pieces from the Marc Jacobs Collection. Instead I opted for two Marc by Marc Jacobs short sleeve tops for spring - the Tomoko sweater in Black that I got for $25.20 (retails for $168) and the Armstrong sweater for $40 (retails for $268).

I also picked up a black 13" laptop case for $23.60 and two of the lightweight, packables small duffels for $15.60 each that I got in Twilight Blue and Black/White. I probably would have bought more if the items I wanted would have had a perfect fit, but a lot of Marc Jacobs pieces run big on me. I had also thought about getting a Marc by Marc Jacobs gunmetal leather skirt I would have paid $89 for (retails for $598) but it was a little loose in the waist. Don't expect to leave this sale empty-handed though!

DIFFA's DINING BY DESIGN Celebrates 20 Years in NYC

M Moser Associates
 This year marked the 20th Anniversary of DIFFA's DINING BY DESIGN in New York. The annual fundraiser took place on at Pier 92 on March 16-20th, raising approximately $800,000 to fund HIV/AIDS education and prevention services across the country. 

The 20th annual DINING BY DESIGN New York, co-located with the Architectural Digest Design Show at Pier 94. brought together over 40,000 guests experiencing over-the-top table designs by more than 30 designers, architects, manufacturers and brands. Leading brands included Florim, Roche Bobois and Gensler, and M Moser, utilizing their table installation to raise awareness toward the fight against HIV/AIDS. Through their table design, M Moser aims to encourage contemplation and ultimately action in the race to zero: zero new infections and zero discrimination in the continued fight against HIV/AIDS. 

Through DIFFA's Student Design Initiative, sponsored by the Angelo Donghia Foundation, local design schools built installations, taking special care to create an installation that raises awareness about HIV/AIDS care and prevention. Students from Parsons incorporated found materials from each of New York City's five boroughs, coming together in a single color; an analogy for the many New Yorkers affected by HIV/AIDS. The Pratt Institute's installation represented a "home" in the fight against AIDS.The New York School of Interior Design titled their installation "Shining bright Together."Evoking emotion and energy through light and color, it symbolically references a pulsating heartbeat. A series of lines merge in the center to embrace a theme of unity. 

Check out the table designs below from the event sponsors.
