NYC girls, run to Bloomies on 59th—quick!

Whitney on CLINIQUE Happy Bottle

We’re terribly late in posting this, but if you’re in the city and have time, run over to Bloomingdale’s 59th Street, 3rd floor CLINIQUE counter for an opportunity to have your picture taken with Whitney Port from The Hills!

She’ll be there posing for pictures with fans to be used on a NEW Clinique Happy Personalized Photo Bottle from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. today.

If you’re not in the city, you should stop by your local Clinique counter where employees nationwide are celebrating “Clinique Happy Day” by making your shopping experience more enjoyable. They’ll wrap your gifts (even if they weren’t purchased at the Clinique counter) and help you to your car (among other things). You might even find yourself face to face with a Clinique executive as all employees from the top down will be working in-store at a Clinique counter today. (If you see our friends Sheila & Megan from the Global Communications department, tell them we said HI!)

And while you’re there, be sure to pick up NEW Clinique Happy Personalized Photo Bottle as a gift for someone special.

Have fun!

Total Beauty Web Editor Event at Space.NK

On Tuesday night, we were honored to be a part of the Total Beauty Web Editor Event at Space.NK in Soho (our new favorite store).

Holiday decor at Space.NK

We shared champagne and chocolate and shopped ’til we dropped with nearly 50 of the Web’s best editors. The beauty world is buzzing about how Total Beauty is radically changing the way women shop for beauty products and it’s so exciting to watch it happen before our eyes.

If you are a regular Makeup Bag reader and you have not yet set up a profile at Total Beauty, DO IT NOW!

(My Beauty Scout at Total Beauty just this morning recommended we try the Beauty Elixir by Caudalie—which, thanks to Julia, we already purchased last week and LOVE. We’ve been to the East Coast and back twice in the last week and this Beauty Elixir saved our skin from the dehydrating airplane air. How did My Beauty Scout know?!)

The Crowd at Space.NK

In addition to beauty bloggers we already know and love (Julia, Annie, Tia, Marina, Elke and Susan) we met some great new ones like Ben from We Love Beauty, Anne from Jet Set Girls, Antonia from Ms New Beauty, Amber from Beauty Blogging Junkie, Daneen from Spoiled Pretty, Delphine from Steeping Beauty, India-Jewel from Glam Blush, Jan from Beauty News NYC, Julie from You Blog Like a Girl, Jamie from The Beauty of Life and Karen from Haute and Bothered.

We were trying to meet and greet everyone that walked through the door, so we didn’t spend as much time getting to know everyone as we would have liked, but it was incredible to shake hands with web editors from Seventeen, Redbook, InStyle, Allure (our friend Fiona couldn’t make it, but Genevieve attended and she is an absolute doll!), Cosmo, Elle, Elle Girl, ABC and iVillage.

We should have snapped more photos, but here’s what ended up on our camera:
