This was the first event PITA and I attended – it’s an invite-only and I am honestly shocked that they always allow me in!  Prior years have included manicures, massages and the usual pampering programs, but this year?  Watch out!

Walked in for our 1-3 time slot.  Within five minutes they couldn’t have pried me out with a crowbar.

Restylane Silk was offering FREE Restylane filler injections!  I’d gotten the sign-up emails a few weeks earlier, but my first reaction was – honestly – ewhhhhh.  I was wrong. The technician numbed the injection sites first and the doctor (hot blonde in white coat) performed the injections with these teeny, tiny needles.  However….if they run this next year, I will sign up 150,000 times for a shot; these syringes can run roughly $700-800 each!  Very, very well done professional promotion and super-impressed by the almost-immediate results.  I did ask for leftover samples to take home (driving, remember?) and offered to slip the tech an Uncle Ben since she seemed to know what she was doing, but that didn’t fly either…

Silk also provided professional makeup artists who were incredible – PITA sat in a chair, the artists brushed light powder, blush and eye shadow on her face and it didn’t look like she was wearing even a bit of makeup!  That’s what we all need to buy:  Artist in a Can!

BALI Intimates was offering free bra fittings and free bras sent to your home (choice of four styles).  Very interesting to learn I’d been wearing the right size all along, except if I wanted more cleavage I could change cup size … well, who doesn’t want more cleavage!  And here I thought I only had to eat more ice cream!  Also got a few one-time use codes for 25% off any Bali Bra (limit 2 bras per code).

Spa Chicks on the Go provided excellent manicures using Essie nail products. I’m not an Essie user, only because I just never started!  Given all the rack and ruin I put my nails through over more than a week, I will definitely be picking some up.  One thing I did notice, not just at this event, but all over NYC, was that women were wearing much brighter nail shades – colors that would have shocked us years ago and are now seen on all ages…and sexes.
