I had the pleasure of working with VMV cosmetics and Kipling this past week at Kipling’s popup in New York on 29th and 6th at the Eventi Hotel. Presentation is EVERYTHING, so from the food to the design and displays, he setup of the interior couldn’t be more amazing. They were giving out complementary Kipling pouches/bags along with embroidering. They even had the cutest photo booth that would upload directly onto your Instagram. If you hashtag “mykiplingbag” on IG, you’ll see what I’m talking about. The music couldn’t be more amazing either! They had the illest guys come in to sing covers with their violins along with another violinist improving with the DJ.

If you don’t already know, Kipling is a handbag company, (they also sell travel bags, little pouches, jewelry etc) and they have rebranded themselves. The look and feel of it now is more trendy, targeting the everyday consumers. I can honestly say, I had not heard of Kipling until the event but I’ve gotten many reviews on it from people telling me how long lasting the bags are (10+years). I received a couple of free bags which I am currently using for my makeup and brushes :). What’s great about them is that they’re made out of nylon,making it super easy to clean.  >> http://www.kipling-usa.com/

What was my job? To do makeovers of course! The event was was pretty much open to the public except for Nov 12, when only Press was allowed in between 6-8. The line I worked with, VMV cosmetics is a Hypoallergenic line that has plenty of products with absolutely no allergens in them. They’re really looking out for people who are allergic to anything and everything.  Their labeling system shows consumers right away which allergen is in the product (if any). There are 76 allergens so if a product contains no allergens, it will be labeled “-76/76”. If there is 1 allergen, it will be labeled “-75/76” and that allergen is underlined in the ingredients. They also have a skincare line which I am currently testing out. My skin has been terribly dry to the point where it’s flaking (gross I know) but their moisturizer seems to be helping ALOT.
