CelleCle Skincare<\/strong>\u2014The rep of this very new company explained to me that their skincare line was developed to help us deal with \u201cmodern-day\u201d dermatological problems, such as \u201ctechnology neck.\u201d But hey–I\u2019m not done dealing with old school<\/em> problems yet!!! To show me the benefits of the line, I received a refreshening mini-facial by lovely company aesthetician, Brittaney Johnston. If my skin winds-up looking even half as good as her<\/em> gorgeous epidermis, I\u2019ll be thrilled. (Even Mr. X thought my face looked better…and, I swear, somehow, thinner<\/em>!) www.cellecleskincare.com<\/a><\/p>\n Barlean’s<\/strong>\u2014This health and wellness company came up with the greatest gift\u2014a giant goodie bag chockfull of their wonderful oils, like flaxseed and omegas, and flavored fiber blends, which you add to smoothies or just plain milk. Their butter-flavored coconut oil is a winner! On top of popcorn, you have the most healthful treat. And now, with how much I\u2019m on the computer writing this e-zine, I think I really need their Eye Remedy, too, which I just found-out about! www.barleans.com<\/a><\/p>\n Photo by Karen Salkin.<\/p><\/div>\n The Happiness Box<\/strong>\u2014What a lovely idea this is! It\u2019s a cylinder with a year\u2019s worth of uplifting quotations. The basic idea is to draw one quote a day, to stay positive. It\u2019s something that everyone in this country will need not just for this<\/em> year, but until the next election<\/em>!!! www.potdebonheur.com\/en<\/a><\/p>\n Mighty No Bitey<\/strong>\u2014I love this story!!! The woman showing me this wonderful insect repellant (which is for people<\/em>, but they make one for dogs and horses, too,) had a very pretty voice, which was familiar to me. She turned-out to be stand-up comedienne Elayne Boosler! (So, the biggest celeb there was not a guest<\/em> but a sponsor<\/em>! How interesting.) And to add to the fun, I used to know her brother in New York, when he worked with my optometrist there! On top of that, she<\/em> used to watch my<\/em> TV show! What a fun mutual admiration society that sponsor table turned-out to be! (By the way\u2014she was there giving out these products to make people aware of her pet charity, www.tailsofjoy.net<\/a>. If you\u2019re a fan of hers, or of animals<\/em>, you should check it out.) And the icing on the cake is that this natural insect repellant is the bomb! You can even apply it to your hair<\/em>! [Note: I think this paragraph has set a new record for exclamation points!] www.mightynobitey.com<\/a><\/p>\n Photo by Karen Salkin. (Can you spot her jeweled hands snapping the pic?)<\/p><\/div>\n Anne Neilson Home<\/strong>\u2014You could tell that this designing woman is an artist, even from afar, because of her gorgeous full corner display. In the midst of it, she was gifting exquisite luxury candles, whose boxes are adorned with her ethereal angel paintings. www.anneneilsonhome.com<\/a><\/p>\n Dripo<\/strong>\u2014I don\u2019t drink coffee, but if I did, I have a feeling I\u2019d do in from this clever device. It brews the coffee right into a portable cup! How convenient is that?! \u00a0www.getdripo.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Photo by Karen Salkin.<\/p><\/div>\n Serumtologie<\/strong>\u2014Who would not be interested in using an affordable Vitamin C serum, straight out of Beverly Hills? The answer is\u2014no one. So, luckily for the Secret Room guests, this company was gifting just that, along with a jar of their whipped moisturizer, which is a good duo.\u00a0www.serumtologie.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n European Skin and Massage Studio<\/strong>\u2014To let us know about their facial studio in town, they were gifting their special charcoal mask, which is the latest thing in skincare! Now I just have to try-out one of their professional facials to go with the masque!\u00a0www.europeanskinandmassagestudio.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Just a hint that this company is from Australia. Photo by Karen Salkin.<\/p><\/div>\n Auspect Clinical Skincare\u00a0<\/strong>\u2014I love that this Aussie company (which has the “Aus” right in their title,) has \u201cstarter kits\u201d for so many different issues. What a fun way to try out all their wonderful products without a giant investment! And then you have the perfect travel sizes, as well. \u00a0www.auspectskincare.com<\/a><\/p>\n Julie’s Real<\/strong>\u2014I could have eaten about ten bags of this gluten-free granola on the spot! It is soooo delicious! And I usually\u00a0hate<\/em>\u00a0granola!\u00a0www.juliesreal.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Photo by Karen Salkin.<\/p><\/div>\n Forever in My Heart Jewelry<\/strong>\u2014What a great concept this company has\u2014for every piece of jewelry sold, the buyer gets to choose which animal charity they want part of the purchase price to go to. You can even go to their site right now, and buy the exact sterling silver heart bracelet they were gifting at the suite!\u00a0www.foreverinmyheartjewelry.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Martinni Beauty<\/strong>\u2014It appears that face masks are this company\u2019s forte, so they gifted a variety of them, which I\u2019m sure everyone was happy about.\u00a0www.martinnibeauty.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Photo by Karen Salkin.<\/p><\/div>\n Bioderma<\/strong>\u2014I had the most fun speaking with this company\u2019s charming French rep. And he has beautiful skin, so I trust him on skin care. He told me this is the original micellar water, which is a non-rinsing make-up remover that I\u2019ve been ever so curious to try since I first heard about it. But that\u2019s but\u00a0one<\/em> product in their extensive line; you\u2019ll be bowled-over when you see how much they have to offer! www.bioderma.us<\/a><\/p>\n Furrfighters<\/strong>\u2014They were gifting little cloths that clean pet hair off…everything! And they\u2019re easy-to-wash, as well. I wish that all my pals with pets would use them on the passenger seat of their cars before I get in! (And on their\u00a0own<\/em>\u00a0clothing, as well! Hint, hint.) \u00a0www.furrfighters.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Photo by Karen Salkin.<\/p><\/div>\n Storm Instant Wrinkle Lift Serum<\/strong>\u2014This is one of those magic eye-wrinkle-and-bags erasing serums. But it\u2019s even smarter than the others because it comes in a box of tiny packets, which are perfect for traveling, keeping in your purse or car, or storing at your boyfriend\u2019s house, so he never has to see the real<\/em> you! And the founder of the company is the woman with the greatest name I\u2019ve ever heard in my whole life–Karen Sinclair Drake! How jealous am I?! But I still crowned her My New Best Friend! And now, even though she has the better \u201cKaren\u201d moniker, I\u2019ll look<\/em> as good as she does when we got to afternoon tea soon because we both have the same anti-wrinkle secret! www.cosmeticresearchlab.com<\/a><\/p>\n Photo by Karen Salkin.<\/p><\/div>\n Splat Oral Care<\/strong>\u2014I can’t imagine a company with a wider range of tooth-health products! There\u2019s something for everyone, including innovative toothbrushes! I\u2019d love to give the Extra White toothpaste to everyone I meet, (including myself<\/em>!)\u00a0www.splatoralcare.uk<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n McCoy Co. Ltd.<\/strong>\u2014This skincare company from Japan was gifting their famous Non F expert body cream, which helps you look thinner! Now I know why everyone in that country looks trim!\u00a0www.mccoy.sakura.ne.jp\/hp\/english_hp<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Aromababy<\/strong>\u2014If these baby products work as well as their packaging is pretty, you\u2019ll have a happy infant on your hands.\u00a0www.aromababy.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Photo by Karen Salkin.<\/p><\/div>\n Urban Heal<\/strong>\u2014With Korean skincare being the hot new trend, everyone was clamoring for the facial masks from this company, which are formulated for a variety of issues. There\u2019s one for anti-aging and another to help bring dewiness to your visage. www.site-931917-584-9506.strikingly.com<\/a><\/p>\n Cote Hair Care<\/strong>\u2014This company makes only one shampoo and conditioner because they feel that that hair care does need to be so complicated. I love the simplicity of the concept! With this duo, there\u2019s nothing extra to think about. www.cotehair.com<\/a><\/p>\n Secret Room’s\u00a0charity this year is Paw Works<\/strong>, which is a non-profit animal rescue organization, as always-worthy cause. www.pawworks.org<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" SECRET ROOM EVENTS GOLDEN GLOBES STYLE LOUNGE 2017 Once again, Secret Room Events hosted their fabulous event honoring the Golden Globes at the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills.
