What could be better than getting a tremendous gift bag, free beauty/spa services, AND helping to keep the Earth green? Answer: nothing. Enter: Pretty City's Green and Gorgeous Event.
The line winded down about half a block when I got there, but once doors opened it moved pretty quickly.
Inside were tables upon tables of different products to sample and people walking around with free Izze sparkling juice bottles. On the lower level a large crowd huddled in the corner of the room -- turns out they were waiting for free manicures and hair services.
The line was way too long for the mani's so I decided to wait in the adjacent, much shorter line for some free hair styling. Salon Ziba, who had a table set up with a plethora of their products, had a master stylist creating some really cute up-do's and other fun styles. Sold, I planted my feet in line.
My up-do came out great, and I decided to venture to the upstairs tables. After visiting each table, shamelessly trying out different samples, I figured it was time to go. The illustrious gift bags PrettyCity are infamous for were handed out upon exit, so once my friend and I walked in the door we were immediately handed out a reusable green tote bag (of course) filled with full-size products and even the latest issue of Shape Magazine. There were so many products, my shoulder was literally sore by the time I left the event.
The goodies weren't the best thing about the event (although it might seem that way), because the fact that everything was eco-chic and eco-friendly is just incredibly cool. Next time I use my new reusable tote bag at the supermarket, wearing my new organic lip balm, I'll know I'm doing my part.
