On Friday, Real Simple magazine hosted their annual Beauty & Balance event at the Andaz hotel in NYC.

Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup {Review}
Finding the right foundation shade can a struggle, so when my friends at Conde Nast asked me to partner with them to get matched and try Estee Lauders Double Wear foundation I was all over it.

At which time their beauty advisor will place this remote control (pictured below) up to your cheekbone to read your shade. I was an unexpected Desert Beige (which is lighter then I usually go).

Girls Day Out at Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spa in Garden City
As you can probably imagine I’ve been to my fair share of spas but I’m embarrassed the say, that past my immediate family, I’ve never done a spa day with the girls.
