ARTISTRY Beauty Lounge at New York Fashion Week

The ARTISTRY Beauty Lounge at New York Fashion Week allowed media guests to enjoy special treatments and unwind with food, drinks and complimentary Wi-Fi at the Empire Hotel. I got to experience ARTISTRY's F.A.C.E.S. technology, an exclusive Facial Analysis Computer Evaluation System, complete with a personalized report. I then had a one-on-one consultation at the ARTISTRY Beauty Bar, to customize and choose products based on my facial analysis. 

I was then able to indulge in a luxurious facial, paraffin hand massage and makeover. I got to check out ARTISTRY's latest fall palettes, including Mountain Glow and Après-Ski which 

were both used for my look. Other palettes included Golden Sunset and Alpine Air.

I am also excited to try the new ARTISTRY 14-night restore program, with Deep Night Action 7 Complex, which provides 7 levels of restoration to help correct existing damage, defend against future damage and boost the skin's response to a daily skincare regimen. The 14-night treatment will result in smoother, more hydrated even toned skin, for a healthy glow. 

Love my ARTISTRY makeover with fall palettes Mountain Glow and Après-Ski used for my look!

ARTISTRY Spring 2012 Featuring Intensive Skincare Anti-Wrinkle Serum

Earlier this year at the ARTISTRY 5:01 Party at Bar Basque inside the Eventi Hotel, I previewed the newest skincare technology from ARTISTRY, including Intensive skincare anti-wrinkle firming serum. The anti-wrinkle firming serum is proven to boost collagen activity by 300% overnight and lead to firm, supple, more youthful skin, in just four weeks. - without common retinol irritation, thanks to ARTISTRY's Targeting Complex technology.

During the party, guests were able to try the anti-wrinkle firming serum, with a luxury facial and hand treatment. Guests were then treated to a makeup application with the new spring colour collection.

The ARTISTRY spring makeup collection is gorgeous with the Fresh Radiance cheek and eye quad, Lagoon eye pencil and Pacific Orchid lip gloss duo compact, for a romantic look that blends brighter tones with a soft, radiant glow. The Golden Glow cheek and eye quad, Island Violet eye pencil and Tropical Coral lip gloss duo compact combines striking colours with an all-over golden glow.

Laura Kaeppeler, Miss America 2012 and ARTISTRY brand ambassador, mingled with guests during the party.

It was a fun night filled with cocktails, hors d'oeuvres and luxury beauty and skincare, complete with a fashion runway show.

ARTISTRY® Beauty Lounge During New York Fashion Week

The ARTISTRY® Beauty Lounge at Empire Hotel was a relaxing getaway between shows at New York Fashion Week. Media guests were introduced to an exclusive beauty bar, hand and chair massages and makeovers from one of the world's top-five, largest selling premium skincare brands, ARTISTRY®, exclusively from Amway. Complimentary Wi-Fi and refreshments were also available.

Guests indulged in a 15-minute eye lift with Creme LuXury Eye, which launches November 1, 2011 and offers a 360 degree transformation around the upper and lower eye areas, that helps skin act up to 15 years younger.

This was the first time I had experienced any ARTISTRYV products and I was amazed at how luxurious everything was, from the Creme LuXury Eye to the Automatic Eyeliner and Eyebrow Pencil Holders and Refills to the Light Up Lip Gloss with a built in mirror and LED light. The light appears as soon as you start to unscrew the wand. I love it! I can't say I have another lip gloss that lights up. I've received so many compliments on it!

Other products I also recommend trying:

- Time Defiance Cleansing Treatment - restores moisture balance and refreshes the skin

- Time Defiance Conditioning Toner - gently exfoliates the skin

- Time Defiance Day Protect Creme SPF15

- Time Defiance Night Recovery Creme

- Powder Compact and 3D Face Powder Refill
