Spa Week Smash! Recap of Christopher Drummond Beauty Live Event

Ekayani with Christopher Drummond founder and creative director

This is just a quick post to say that the launch of Spa Week at the Altman Building was a great success. This was a press event where all kinds of magazine and television PR ladies ranging from HINT mag to The Today Show to took a seat in the high chair to get a 5 minute touch up with Christopher Drummond Beauty 100%  natural and organic based makeup with PETA approved vegan brushes. It is a mostly vegan line with the exception of the lip stains and lip gloss which contains beeswax. (I only mention this as this is an issue for some.)  Saude Pele the hydrating and soothing radiance booster, Peach Sorbet lip gloss in a tube, Aymee a lovely iridescent eyeshadow with apricot tones and the bronzier Gold were a hit. I had particular fun with a gal from BUST Magazine a very upfront and concerned vegan.

On her I tried the Paradise lip stain and then had fun switching to Shiraz.  She was this side of red and as she was going to the premiere  of "GIRLS" the new series which is a hit even before airing I figured my disco doll needed some subtle flash. As a strawberry blonde with wide blue eyes Aymee on the lids was followed by Gold on the rims and Wink from the middle to the outer portion of the eye.  I also applied a bit of Oscar on her brow bone to push it just a bit. The algae and seaweed based mascara with A & E was a revelation as she had no idea most all manufactured contain lead and mercury.
Will I be taking on makeup as another profession? Not sure about that one but it was great fun to use the skills I picked up in Paris and the tips I have learned from Chris in a live event. Everyone felt great after their touch up pleased with the results and loved the elegant black organza gift bags containing  samples of CDB in light, medium, dark or porcelain. Cruelty free, non - toxic, long lasting, versatile and easy to use what's not to like? It's wonderful to see this company finally taking off and hitting it's much deserved stride. Ever since Dr. Oz was dusted with  CDB Sol Bronzer by Kathy Freston ( Sol Bronzer at the End of this clip)  the orders have been rolling in for all products. Gratitude to both!

Spa Week runs from April 16 - 22. Be sure to enter for your chance to win $500 worth of free makeup from CDB.  Really you'd be a fool not to. Christopher Drummond Beauty is the exclusive makeup sponsor for Spa Week 2012.

Spa Week Launches April 16 - 22 Make Up Give Away by Christopher Drummond Beauty

April 16 - 22 is Spa Week, a North American phenomenon taking place in all major US markets and parts of Canada. A gal or guy can take advantage of trying out treatments for the alluringly low price of $50. 00 with little risk in terms of investment and a chance to try out some hot spots from Arizona to Toronto. Anyone who has ever dreamt about being pampered in a spa but has hesitated,  the appeal is clear as nothing is more rejuvenating than enjoying your own personal idea of relaxation in a setting dedicated to just to that end.
How It Works - Find Your Spa
Go to Spa Week page and type in your city and zip code to see what spas nearby are participating and what they are offering.  Relatively nearby to where I live the Ada Spa on West Broadway is offering a Green Tea or Milk Body Wrap while the A.F. Bennet Salon in Staten Island is offering a seaweed  detoxifying treatment for 60 minutes. Next, call the spa and book your appointment.  Follow your bliss for a price that is way below everyday rates but know that tips are not included.
A Chance to Win $500 Worth of Makeup from CDB
There are also plenty of free giveaways being offered by various cosmetic companies. All that is required is signing up for these random drawings but only one of them is the official sponsor for Spa Week.

If I were you I'd try my gander at winning this prize. This is your chance to win $500 of free makeup by my favorite makeup line Christopher Drummond Beauty that is Titanium Dioxide and Bismuth free. Not all mineral makeup lines are created equal as many of the ingredients are found to be skin irritants. Full disclosure that I wear and work at promoting this 100% organic toxin free makeup line because I love it!  In fact I was SO excited for a press event  for the line that I showed up a day early.  Just last week on April 4th, 2012 CDB was  featured on Dr. Oz's show by celebrity vegan Kathy Frestan. Get lucky! Sign up here to win.
