My Night with Kim Kardashian, A Peek Inside An Industry Event

Last week I attended a Fusion Beauty Event with Kim Kardashian.  Even though I've met her before, this was different.  It was an intimate cocktail party with Kim at Villa Parci in the Meatpacking District and a select amount of other bloggers and I actually got to hang out and converse with her for an hour and a half. I admire her so much because before anything, she's a business woman.  Kim spoke to the Fusion Beauty collection, which she's a Spokesperson for and then answered any questions we had and just hung out.  She's very sweet and down to earth and yes, stunning.  She wore n a grey bandage skirt with a lace top, black bra peeking through and black Louboutins.  I had to ask her what her guiltiest pleasure was since I was thinking of BeautySweetSpot and she said watching mystery shows.

Out of all of the Fusion Beauty products discussed Kim clearly loved the Illumifil the most. It's a primer with light reflecting properties that her makeup artists use both under and over her foundation depending on the look they're trying to create.  My favorite Fusion Beauty product – a balm called Bitten.

If you really want to see what the event was like, check out the below footage.  I got some of it on tape!  Kim spills her date night makeup tips:

Exclusive Interview: Bethenny Frankel Talks Fashion & Beauty Post Baby

This year during New York Fashion Week I stopped by the Robert Verdi Luxe Laboratory on the last day.  I normally always go earlier in the week, but I was so swamped this year, I had to wait and I'm glad I did.  As I was finishing getting my hair styled by Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spas in his suite, none other than Bethenny Frankel walked in to have her makeup touched up by Stila. First of all I have to say, I've always been a Bethenny fan, but after meeting her I'm team Bethenny even more now. Much prettier in person, I can't believe the woman had a baby in May.  Wearing a sophisticated navy structured dress and grey pumps she came in with her hair blown out (like every day) and no makeup on.  After leaving the Robert Verdi Suite she was going directly to do a taping for Rachel Ray.

Since becoming a mom has anything about your style changed?

I think twice about wearing promiscuous clothing.  If I think it may be too short, it is. When in doubt, I don't wear it anymore.  I keep things simple, dress in color and wear good accessories.

What's your go-to accessory?

My wedding ring.  When I'm not sure what to wear I always stick with my solitaire diamond necklace.

Has your beauty regimen changed since you had Bryn?

Not really.  With me, it's all or nothing.

Did you learn a lot about pregnancy and parenting from your friends?

I really didn't take any unsolicited advice.  People freak you out.  Chances are none of those crazy things will happen to you.  I learned as I went and things are great.

What's do you carry in your purse at all times?

Lotion.  My skin is very dry and baby wipes.

What's your guiltiest pleasure?

I don't believe in guilt.
