The Week in Review: HP & Star Wars, Couvoisier, Orchard Mile, The Root & More!

It’s been a very exciting full week back from Europe filled with fun events and news I’m excited to share with you all. As some of you know I launched my youtube channel this week (there’s a massive beauty giveaway happening now) and also unveiled my spread in All You magazine! If you follow me on Instagram you’ve seen there hasn’t been a shortage of events happening in NYC. Here are some of the highlights of my week:

HP Star Wars Celebration

The force was definitely with HP this week, announcing they are one of the official partners of the new Star Wars The Force Awakens film. We stopped by the launch party to sneak peek some of the the exclusive Star Wars product line up from HP! More products and details will be released soon but until then enjoy the trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens which hits theaters December 18th, HERE.

Holiday Must-Haves from Kevyn Aucoin

Kevyn-Aucoin-celebrity-makeup

Last night I attended a fabulous Retrospective Gallery Showcase of Kevyn Aucoin’s career. From his artistry, drawings, signature quotes to the first products he launched and celebrity notes it was a beautiful presentation of his work and words.

“I’m not saying that putting on makeup will change the world or even your life, but it can be a first step in learning things about yourself you may never have discovered otherwise. At worst, you could make a big mess and have a good launch.” – Kevyn Aucoin

Kevyn-Aucoin-The-Contour-Book-Volume-2

The event also served to showcase the fall and holiday collection. Some of the new products I’m absolutely dying over:

The Contour Book Volume II The Art of Sculpting + Defining ($65, $225 value) – The perfect follow-up to Volume I. If you happened to own the original you know the formulas were perfect but the circular shapes of the compact made application a bit challenging. Volume II is the solution to all. A Sculpting Cream, Sculpting Powder, Candlelight Cream, Candelight Powder to perfectly sculpt and highlight and four eye shadow shades, two matte and two shimmer to shape, define and sculpt eyes. The most convenient contour kit in travel size.
