Estée Lauder's America's Night to Repair Event

Yes, that's me from the Estée Lauder's America's Night to Repair Event at Macy's Union Square on July 22nd. Myself, along with my fellow Glam bloggers, Stephanie of Stiletto Jungle and Beth of Beauty Junkie in SF spent an amazing time with the Estée Lauder team as we learned more about the Advanced Night Repair products.

Upon arrival, it was amazing to see the buzz happening around the Estée Lauder area at night as women were waiting in line to get their free 10-day supply of either Advanced Night Repair Eye Synchronized Complex or Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Recovery Complex.

My Estée Lauder makeup artist was Mimi and she did an amazing job on me. I have only been using the eye serum and had never tried the Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Recovery Complex. Once she put it on my dry face, I immediately could feel my skin "drink in" the hydration. I'm a new fan, let me tell you and am using my 10-day sample now to continue the goodness. One important tip Mimi shared with me was to mix my eye serum with my concealer for maximum coverage that is working for my skin. Once she put it under my eyes, I looked in the mirror and my dark circles were gone! Amazing!

After I was done with my makeover, I felt fabulous. Also worth noting to mention, how great my skin felt with the Advanced Night Repair products. As a fashion blogger, for the most part, I take on the role of reporter and generally don't step in front of the camera too often. At events, I'm too busy snapping photos or trying to get an interview. This was a fun experience for me personally to enjoy, all the while live tweeting from the event and taking notes on my HP Vivienne Tam digital clutch, which just so happened to match my new Vivienne Tam dress.

The three of us had a great time! Thank you Estée Lauder for the wonderful America's Night to Repair Event!

Glam Adapt Party

Last Thursday I had so much fun celebrating Glam's new venture called Glam Adapt, an ad-serving platform built for brands. It's already getting great buzz and you can read the review here at TechCrunch. The celebration party was in a private area of the swanky Clift Hotel in San Francisco. Let me tell you that fashion parties are few and far between in San Francisco and whenever I can support my friends at Glam, I'm ready to put my dancing shoes on. Here I am with my fellow fashion blogging friends, Tami of Fete a Fete and Stephanie of Adventures in the Stiletto Jungle. We sipped champagne/wine and noshed on delicious appetizers while dancing to beats by the DJ.

Me and Stephanie. Loved her amazing modern white shirt!

Stephanie had the most to die for Rock & Republic studded stilettos (left). I also loved Christina's lace up stilettos.(She works for Glam.) Super hot heels, right? Not sure what brand they are but wow, did they look good. We took a moment out on the balcony for this quick iPhone shot.

HP Sex and the City 2 Trunk Show in SF

I had a great time today at HP Sex and the City 2 Trunk Show area at the Westfield Shopping Center in San Francisco. The concept is that you are in Carrie's closet filled with Manolo Blaniks and HP Vivienne Tam clutches (as well as other HP laptops and printers) -- a fashion tech girl's dream closet I say!

I got a tour from Shay Fan who pointed out to me these famous pair of Manolos that were in the first movie. I love them!

There were a couple of fun photo things you can do at the booth. The first was a large green screen so you could be in a picture with your 4 favorite ladies. (You can actually choose from a few different backgrounds.) They printed me out a photo to go home with but you can log on later one with a special code to download the photo. I was so dorkily excited to do this! You can see my finished photo in the monitor. I'm the tiny girl in the left corner -- it's not quite to scale but totally fun!

I also took a photo at the "vanity" counters they had which placed your photo in the movie ad. FUN!

You can see the slideshow of all my photos from the HP Sex and the City 2 Trunk Show.

If you are in the SF/Bay Area, stop by this weekend! You'll love the mix of shoes, bags, and HP laptops + printers and Sex and the City fun. Then make it an afternoon of shopping in true SATC style.

While you are there, take a quick photo of yourself with your cellphone at the booth and twitpic it to @coquette to for a special "double entry" in the SATC2 giveaway. You'll be entered to win a pair of free tickets for a special pre-screening of Sex and the City 2 in SF!

The deadline to enter is Sunday, May 9th at 7:00pm PST (<---now extended so you have more time to head over to the mall this weekend!) For more information, visit the SATC2 giveaway page.
