One night a year, thousands of women embark upon the Metropolitan Pavilion event space in New York City in search of one thing- the coveted beauty bag. Each year, the CEW Beauty Awards Product Demonstration features hundreds of brands under one roof. This 2 hour annual event allows CEW members to preview all the nominees by testing the products, smelling the scents, and learning more about the products via their beauty consultants and demonstrations.
My colleagues and I spent over an hour walking through the multiple rooms visiting table after table of mass and prestige beauty products which ranged from Olay,Glowelle, Veet, Ahava, Lubriderm, L’Oreal, Chanel, MAC, Philosophy, and more!
Oh wait, did I mention that there was also a Barefoot Wine tasting table?
As you can see, the event is packed with women anxious to try the latest and greatest beauty products ranging from those carried in CVS to the hallowed halls of Saks and Neiman Marcus. The people watching at this event is equally as amazing since most women are dressed in the newest fashions and sporting gorgeous bags!
The coveted swag bag weighed over 40 pounds this year! Luckily for you all, there is no way I can use all of these beauty products.
In honor of tonight’s amazing event, I’m giving away a bag of product to ONE lucky reader! The bag contains over $300 worth of beauty products including, but not limited to the products seen below. The bag includes everything from Frizz-Ease’s newest shampoo to a full size Lancome foundation.

My number one beauty product is my Say Yes to Cucumbers face wash because I don’t wear makeup on an everyday basis. (I do wear it, but when you are posting Op Beautiful notes that say ‘You are beautiful in your b-day suit!’ It would be ironic wearing it!) 🙂
Body lotion and my undereye concealer. I hate to admit this but the concealer I use is $90 but in defense, it lasts FOREVER (although I’m pretty sure that it is a beauty faux pa (sp??) to use concealer past 6 months (woops!) and works magic underneath my tired mommy eyes!
lately ive been into oil of olay micro scrub face wash. it’s just enought grit to exfoliate but not enough to put me in a bad mood for the rest of the day.
My favorite (everyday) beauty product is my Cetaphil face lotion. I couldn’t live without it! But my favorite splurge product are definitely my MAC eyeshadows!

My fave beauty product right now is suprisingly a rust colored eyeliner from Target. I wore the brand off the bottle (oops!) but it was not a brand I recognized and was amazingly cheap (like $5 for a set of three eyeliners). IT just complements my eyes so well and makes me look so awake without being hash or funny looking.
