Although I cover various topics here on BGG, my all-time favorite category is beauty!
That’s why I was so thrilled to attend SELF magazine’s Self Approved 2015 Beauty Awards last week. Held at Condé Nast’s new headquarters located in 1 World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan, the annual event rounded up and celebrated the best beauty offerings of the year.
Divided into six separate categories, the magazine found the must-have products that detox, hydrate, protect, brighten and multitask (editor’s pick was the wild card).
From luxe shampoos to coveted creams, the event showcased the magazine’s top picks in alluring fashion. The winning beauty buys sat atop black lacquered pedestals surrounded by pretty pink petals, creating a gorgeous spring oasis.
With an out-of-this-world view, tasty bites and of course, beauty talk, it was a delightful evening. Plus, some of the magazine’s winners were a few of my personal faves too!
Gorgeous SELF display made out of greenery.
Couldn’t attend a SELF event without taking a selfie! My hair was completely ruined due to the rain and humidity, but my lipstick was cute! Ha!
These yummy-looking chocolates were tempting, but I exercised SELF-control.

The manicure station truly brightened my evening.
