Seen at NYFW Luxe Laboratory with CVS Reinventing Beauty.

Before I let you in on all of the great and most important, affordable beauty products that are carried at CVS, I wanted to show you some of the fun and exciting people that were at the CVS Reinventing Beauty Lounge.

This is me writing about all of the happenings in the lounge for the day. Doesn't the retreat look divine?

This is Robert Verdi, the host of the lounge, selecting his favorite fragrance for the CVS Essence of Beauty Line. He is with model Elizabeth Mathis.


Outside of the CVS Beauty Lounge were some other fun fashion and accessory lines. Holly Montag and Stephanie Pratt took a few minutes to try on some great new sunglasses.


As I walked in I spotted Miss J right away, and as I was leaving I actually opened the door for Kathy Griffin. Pictured with them is comedian Kristen Wiig from SNL.


Some blogger friend were in to take in the happenings of the lounge as well. Pictured from left are Debbi, Michelle and Aly.


Christophe was giving blow-outs and gave me some very pretty, loose wavy hair. I will post more about him, his products, and his tips later today.

Here is CoverGirl makeup artist Jake Bailey doing his thing in the lounge. He turned me onto some great products and gave me some must-have makeup tips that I will discuss a bit later too.
