NYFW: Bene Lounge event

Bene Rialto, through initiatives such as Bene Collective and Bene Lounge, supports their 50+ emerging designer brands through a consumer demographic interested in brand education and development, while encouraging discovery, engagement and interaction in a comfortable, experiential space. As a launch pad for brands, Bene Rialto continues to build a community of selective and inspired influencers passionate about the world of fashion and business growth. Bene Rialto is a place to discover what’s next in the world of emerging designers. 

The Bene Lounge, found in the third floor of Bene Rialto turned into a beauty-pampering sanctuary for some top influencers from the digital editorial, blogging and media communities during NYFW. 

With nearly a dozen daily sponsors from the beauty and beverage industries, with the likes of Color Wow Hair Care, Jamberry Nails, Bottega Organica, Chic Sketch, and many more, the select group of influentials were invited to relax and rejuvenate while learning more about the Bene Rialto concept and brand ambitions.

 A quick mani update with Jamberry Nails! There were tons of designs to choose from and in less than 5-10 minutes, you have new updated nail art!

I was able to add some curls to my second day hair sponsored by Color WOW Hair Care! 

A nice hand scrub and massage with Key West Aloe, which I have to say took me to the beach for a moment. All their products are made with Lab Certified 100% Pure Aloe Vera. Their scrub smells so good and kept my hands moisturized after! I will be doing a review soon on their Gentle Facial Cleanser and other skincare products soon on the blog.

So bummed to have missed Lululosophy chocolates, but she provided some sweets for the attendees. 

“Life is about good food, good friends, and chasing your dreams. These three things have become my mantra; my philosophy. I’d like to humbly share that philosophy with you through my chocolates so you can experience and share them with good food and good friends. I hope my chocolates can help remind you and those you love to continue chasing your dreams. ”

— Lucia Liu (Lulu) Founder and Chocolatier of Lululosophy 

Wink Brow Bar, provided brow threading services as well.

This was my first time getting my brows threaded and that was painless, and I'll be visiting their brow bar in the city soon. 

Makeup was provided by Advanced Mineral Makeup, which I will be doing a review soon here as well. But to give you a quick first impression, from my foundation to my daytime smokey eyes to my lipstick that day, my makeup was flawless the whole day. I, unfortunately did not get to do a proper selfie as it was a long busy day that time so keep an eye out for my review in the next few weeks for this.

I unfortunately did not have time to explore the rest of the floors which was full of different fashion products including the ones we met at the Bene Lounge. From a quick glance, I saw some beautiful dresses, beauty products and cute fashion accessories, I can't wait to go back and check all three floors out!
