Mischo Beauty Covers Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week: CVS/Pharmacy Reinventing Beauty Lounge at Robert Verdi's Luxe Laboratory

CVS/Pharmacy hosted a "Reinventing Beauty Lounge" as part of Robert Verdi's Lux Laboratory during fashion week and the timing couldn't have been more perfect! If you've been following me on Twitter, then you probably know that the first couple of days of fashion week started off cold and rainy- add achy feet to that, and you know why this lounge was perfect.

We were treated to makeup touch-up, blow outs, manicures and given the opportunity to view some of the latest product offerings. While I've tried most of the brands that were presented, new for me was Essence of Beauty- which is CVS/Pharmacy's own brand. Never knew that! The next time you're in CVS, you need to check out the Jasmine Ginger hand cream by Essence of Beauty. The scent is amazing!

Most of you already know how much I loved Sally Hansen's Hi-Definition nail polish collection. Well, for my manicure I choose the limited edition, newly released "Opulent Cloud" designed by Tracy Reese to compliment her Fall 2009 Ready-To-Wear collection. It's a gray with tiny flecks of gold, and it looks so chic on! I think just about every other person who received a manicure the day I was there chose this color.

And a very HUGE thank you for car service to and from the CVS/Pharmacy "Reinventing Beauty Lounge" which was provided by Mercedes Benz- because as you can see, the rain would not go away!

Beautiful hair needs an expert: Ellin LaVar PenetratingBalm

I've been testing out Ellin Lavar Textures' PenetratingBalm and I highly recommend it for dry, coarse and naturally curly hair. My hair falls into the 4b hair type category, so my natural hair is thick and coarse. This is a great moisturizing leave-in conditioner, that helps to detangle and soften hair. After using this, I found my hair to be very manageable and easy to section off for blow-drying.

The texture of the PenetratingBalm is somewhat thick and very creamy, and a little goes a long way. This would also be a good moisturizing styling aid for those of you with dry, naturally curly hair. It's formulated with an oil from the seeds of Brazil's passion-flower fruit called Maracuja. This oil works to nourish the hair, which is very important during this dry winter season, and it works to control frizz and keep curls shiny and defined.

I'm recommending that Tracee Ellis Ross use this to nourish and hydrate her naturally curly hair and I'm recommending this for you as well! Questions? Did anyone see Ellin's reality show "Hair Trauma" on WE TV? If so, what did you think?
