After a day of running around New York City in the rain, we sat down last night for an amazing dinner at KOI Restaurant at the Bryant Park Hotel.

Sponsored by Total Beauty and Aveda, the five course meal was attended by over 25 beauty bloggers. We gushed about lipgloss and compared schedules for the week—which for us includes over 15 shows—and enjoyed the BEST rice pudding in the world.

(None of the other desserts on this tray are worthy of being in the presence of this rice pudding.)
