So I was thrilled that it returned here last week-end. This time, Red Carpet Events LA threw their fete in the\u00a0Glass Lounge Room, and garden area, of the Intercontinental Hotel in Century City, which showed-off the beautiful day we were having.<\/p>\n
My contributing writer on this one is Roz, who enjoyed the entire Red Carpet Events LA experience as much as I<\/em> did. She stated, \u201cThe ambiance of this event was very elegant. And the transition between indoor and outdoor areas was seamless. The colorful displays and interesting people added so much to the festivities.\u201d (All the comments in quotes throughout this review are from her, as well.)<\/p>\n Photo by Karen Salkin.<\/p><\/div>\n The Lounge featured many fun gifts that were new to one or both of us. So let\u2019s get to the highlights of them:<\/p>\n Camouflage Cellulite Body Liner<\/strong>\u2014I<\/em> was already a fan of this shapewear that not only helps hide cellulite, but you can make the legs end in different lengths, for your various outfits. Roz explains, \u201cThis long-legged wonder goes under pants or tight outfits to give you a very smooth and sexy look. Put them on and just watch imperfections disappear!\u201d And they come in black, white, or beige, so they definitely work with everyone\u2019s wardrobe. \u00a0www.camouflagecellulite.com<\/p>\n Photo by Karen Salkin.<\/p><\/div>\n Zatik Skin Essentials<\/strong>\u2014We had a long wait to speak with this skin care company, because they were so popular, but when we did<\/em> finally meet them, we totally understood all the hubbub. Roz exclaimed, \u201cWhat a fantastic product line this is! And the lovely reps were so generous with their time and skin care products.\u201d We adored that the Odor Defense Roll-On comes in both lavender (for normal people) and unscented (for problem breathers like me<\/em>!) Non-allergic Roz smelled everything<\/em>, and said that the fragrances on all the items is \u201cgreat!\u201d We tried-out several of their wares, and thought the Nutri Face Serum with Rose Hip & Black Seed\u00a0is \u201cfantastic,\u201d the Peace Toner spray \u201cfeels refreshing and light,\u201d and the herbal nutrients in the Harmony Moisturizer is \u201ceasily absorbed.\u201d But our favorite was the Solar Mineral Sunscreen, (which everyone<\/em> needs on a daily basis,) because it \u201cblends right away,\u201d without the usual \u201cheaviness.\u201d And the best part is that everything in this entire line is natural and vegan. www.zatiknaturals.com<\/p>\n Photo by Karen Salkin.<\/p><\/div>\n Pure Trim<\/strong>\u2014There was a plethora of wellness products from this company, which every health-conscious guest welcomed! First up was their Wellness Shake, of which Roz said, \u201cI love that this is vegan, and full of probiotics, vitamins, and gluten-free ingredients.\u201d We both loved their TrimBars, which come in delicious Peanut Butter Chocolate and Double Chocolate, and are the perfect snack for on-the-go peeps like us! And lastly, Roz said their \u201ctotally organic\u201d Pure Gardens Face & Body Skin Serum has a \u201clovely feel.\u201d So they help you stay healthy, both inside and out. www.puretrim.com<\/p>\n Photo by Karen Salkin.<\/p><\/div>\n Adonia Products<\/strong>\u2014This skin care company was gifting their famous easy-to-apply Self-Tan Body Foam, which tennis player Roz deems \u201cgreat for the legs,\u201d along with their Peptide Lifting Serum, of which she said, \u201cI love the syringe-style applicator of this collagen boosting serum.\u201d No wonder this sponsor was so popular with the looks-conscious music biz crowd! www.adoniastore.com<\/p>\n Photo by Karen Salkin.<\/p><\/div>\n Minute Relief<\/strong>\u2014My broken back was already a fan of this Joint & Muscle Relief Spray even before the event. So I suggested to athletic Roz that she try it on her painful tennis knee, and she said, \u201c Wow. This product is so fast-acting; it worked on my knee right away, and I felt a positive difference.\u201d I\u2019m just proud that I knew about it before she<\/em> did! And now all of you<\/em> can scoop your<\/em> pals, as well! www.minuterelief.com<\/p>\n Photo by Karen Salkin.<\/p><\/div>\n Nuwati Herbals Healer Tea<\/strong>\u2014I have used this herbal product to soothe my colds for many, many years now. So long, in fact, that sometimes I can just look<\/em> at the bottle and feel better! When Roz discovered that you can either breathe it in to clear your sinuses or drink it as a tea, she queried, \u201cWhat more can one ask for?!\u201d\u00a0 www.nuwatiherbals.com<\/p>\n Photo by Karen Salkin.<\/p><\/div>\n Woloch Handcrafted Art<\/strong>–This company, that promotes and distributes Mexican art and design, was gifting delightful prints of super-artistic ice cream cones. My mouth was watering just looking at them, both for the creamy colors and<\/em> the design! www.woloch.mx<\/p>\n But everyone\u2019s favorite part of the Red Carpet Events LA\u2019s lounges is the immense gift bag they receive on the way out. This time, the bags were very festive, bright, shiny, pink totes, which matched the happy mood of the overall event.<\/p>\n Just some of the highlights of the huge VIP gift bags! Photo by Karen Salkin.<\/p><\/div>\n I snuck a peek into one, and here are my favorites of what I found inside: hip and sexy fingerless black gloves from Boho by Moe Munroe<\/strong>; Ferrero Rocher<\/strong> famous chocolates in a heart-shaped box, (just in time for not only the Grammys, but for Valentine\u2019s Day, as well!); Skin To You<\/strong>\u2019s cleverly-named Vitamin C Ya;\u00a0a delicious-smelling white tea and ginger candle from Hometown Candle Co.<\/strong>; two pairs of Thorlo<\/strong> socks, with their famous \u201cnano glide\u201d technology; Clayton Shagal<\/strong> Collagen Gel Plus, to hydrate mature skin; the unfortunately-monikered, but fascinating party game, Cocktail Farty<\/strong>; Grow Girl<\/strong> hair supplements, (so everyone can stop doing fake extensions and have hair that\u2019s as luxurious as mine<\/em> naturally); Sun Bum<\/strong>\u2019s leave-in hair conditioning spray; Mahi<\/strong> hot sauces, in various degrees of hotness (just like my friends!); Wolo<\/strong>\u00a0protein bars in very interesting and unexpected flavors;\u00a0Dashing Diva<\/strong> glamorous press-on nails; Good Guy<\/strong> hair regrowth shampoo, (in case it\u2019s too late for those aforementioned supplements to work for you); and Pure MediCanna<\/strong> CBD Healing Salve, which all the guests really needed after that huge haul of gifts!<\/p>\n Their\u00a0charity this time was the\u00a0African Millennium Foundation<\/strong>, a non-profit and non-governmental organization that facilitates the social and economic empowerment of the people of Africa, especially women.\u00a0www.1amf.org<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" RED CARPET EVENTS LA GRAMMYS GIFTING LOUNGE 2019 One of the things I missed most last year, when the Grammys were held in New York, is the Red Carpet Events LA Gifting Lounge that takes place when that awards show is here in L.A.
