PrettyCity.com Hosts NYC’s Beauty Sample Sale

PrettyCity.com, the nation’s leading online resource for all things beauty, along with SHAPE magazine, will host its 3rd annual Beauty Sample Sale on Wed., Oct. 7 from 6-9 p.m. at the R Bar located at 218 Bowery in New York City. The Beauty Sample Sale offers an extensive array of beauty product samplings, on-site makeovers, and complimentary spa and salon treatments.

With a unique take on the traditional “sample sale,” The Beauty Sample Sale offers beauty devotees a one-of-a-kind shopping and sampling experience. “I’ve always loved sample sales, what woman doesn’t? There are plenty of such sales for the clothes horse but there were no events for beauty aficionados like myself. Women may know what brands of jeans look best on them, but when it comes to finding the perfect shade of red lipstick or picking skin care that suits her skin, sampling is essential,” said Carolyn Brundage, chief executive officer and founder of PrettyCity.com.

In addition to New York City, this year the Beauty Sample Sale will make its way through Chicago; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Miami, Orlando and Tampa, Florida. Beauty enthusiasts from across the country gather to partake in exclusive samplings of the latest beauty products, opportunities to experience distinctive spa and salon treatments, as well as deeply discounted sale prices on cosmetic, skin and haircare products. Attendees also enjoy a complimentary martini bar, snacks and goodie bags filled to the brim with products.

Looking beyond the surface of beauty, The Beauty Sample Sale is an attractive opportunity for attendees, encouraging them to take a break and spend some time to look and ultimately feel good. “At Shape we believe that taking care of yourself on the outside helps shore up self-esteem on the inside. The truth is that looking good does equal feeling good, and partnering with PrettyCity for the Beauty Sample Sale has been a great way to bring this message to life for thousands of women,” said John Balen, promotions director at SHAPE. “Attendees love the event and have such a wonderful time sampling the products, learning about the latest skincare and wellness treatments, and just coming out to shop and enjoy themselves. SHAPE is excited to continue the partnership again for the third year and expects an even larger turn out for the 2009 Beauty Sample Sale events.”

This year’s event partners include: American Laser Centers, Laser Cosmetica, Clo & Iz, Orchard Harvest, Marina Cosmetics, Pencil Me In and more. Plus exclusive goodie bag items include: Pencil Me In eyeliner pencils, David Babaii for WildAid Hair Polish, Whish Shave Crave Beauty To Go, Sundari Chamomile Eye Oil and Montagne Jenuesse assorted face masks.

With over 5,000 women having attended The Beauty Sample Sale in years past, the event is proving to be recession-proof as it has steadily grown since its inception three years ago. “These events have been so popular largely because women consider taking care of themselves outside and inside a top priority. They’re willing to spend money to look great, but they need help wading through the millions of products and thousands of services available to find the ones that truly work for them. The Beauty Sample Sale is a smart way for women to sample products and services that they’ve heard about without wasting their hard-earned dollars,” said Brundage.

The NYC Beauty Sample Sale, Wed., Oct. 7 at the R Bar (218 Bowery), is open to the public and tickets are available online for $10 at: http://www.prettycity.com/beautysamplesale/tickets.htm

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
