GOODNESS Lounge at New York Fashion Week Fall 2012

During New York Fashion Week Fall 2012, the GOODNESS Lounge by Renaissance Hotels at Museum of Arts and Design was one of my favorite stopovers between shows. The lounge was designed by Niki Cheng, owner of BoConcept New York, with makeup touch-ups by Lancôme and massages by Equinox and complimentary nail polish changes. CIRCA also showcased their collection of recycled, sustainable luxury jewelry.

I spoke with supermodel/environmentalist Elettra Wiedemann about GOODNESS, the full service pop-up restaurant hosted during New York Fashion Week, providing fresh, healthy and delicious food. A different prominent NYC-based chef was featured each day, with a unique menu only available at GOODNESS, located at ROBERT, on the 9th floor of MUSEUM of Arts and Design. This season GOODNESS earned the CFDA's Health Initiative Stamp of Approval.

Tarek Abbas, National Make-Up Artist for Lancôme gave me a flawless, natural-looking makeup touch-up and walked me through this season's hottest new products and shades, and briefly went over some of the specific products he used on my face.

Wiedemann also partnered with Talenthouse and DJ Zen Freeman to choose a winning resident DJ Travisty to provide a soothing soundtrack of lounge music and modern remixes at the GOODNESS Lounge

Here's a look at ROBERT, and featured chefs during fashion week:

- Mario Batali of Babbo - February 11th

- Leo Forneas of ROBERT - February 12th

- Alain Allegretti of La Promenade des Anglais, February 13th

- Julian Medina of Toloache, February 14th

Glamour and Lancôme Fall 2009 Collection Makeover Event at Bloomingdale's

I was eager to get my makeover with Lancôme’s new fall collection "Declaring Indigo", especially since I had two more events to go to that night. I was amazed to see the overbooked turnout, with 50 Lancôme make-up artists busy at work, at the Glamour/Bloomingdale’s event at the 59th Street store on July 29th. If you love Lancôme, I highly recommend booking an appointment with make-up artist Angel Mendoza (looks a lot like Lou Diamond Phillips), who gave me the look I was looking for.

I prefer a dramatic eye and nude gloss for my nights on the town and the Indigo Charm eyeshadow quad and Declaring Gold gloss that I ended up purchasing definitely helped me achieve that effect. I feel like you can never have too many eyeshadows – and I definitely didn’t have any rich blues like the Declaration and Liberty shades included in the quad. Charming is great to use for highlighting the inner corner of the eyes. The gloss looks great when worn alone or over any lipstick or gloss color, adding natural, extra shine. It’s not sticky, is smooth and evenly distributed on the lips and I like the angled applicator.

Attendees were photographed for an in-store shoot right after their makeovers and were able to take home the glamorous shot. I missed my shoot opportunity since I was one of the last makeovers, but I did look fabulous for my next events.

There was also a gift with purchase, including a nautical blue and white striped hobo bag that came with High Resolution Refill-3X anti wrinkle cream, mascara, neutral eyeshadow quad, nude lipstick and the Bi-Facil double-action eye makeup remover (love that - it works so well!).

I’m all set for fall with my intense new Lancôme look!
