Think Angelenos are obsessed with beauty? Try New Yorkers: we only want the best, we’re hyper competitive as it is, and we have more diversity and culture than anywhere else in the U.S. - not to mention, we’re one of 4 fashion capitals of the world. All of this leads to beauty-obsession, from our faces to our art to what’s on our plates. Take a look at our picks for this week, and please get ready to start saying the following: don’t hate us because we’re beautiful.
8/8 - 8/12 JK7 Luxury Hour-Long Facial in SoHo
Established by Dr. Jurgen Klein (of cult botanical skincare line Jurlique) is launching his premium line, JK7, by offering complimentary 1 hour luxury facials in SoHo. If you’ve always wondered if the hundreds of dollars A-listers spend on top facials are worth it, give it a whirl.
8/9 - 8/14 Korres Sample Sale
Of course, good skin starts at home, and there’s a lot you can do DIY, especially if you rely on quality, all-natural brands like Korres. If you’ve been waiting to stock up on their divine Brightening Wild Rose line (the Overnight Facial is amazing), head to their sample sale STAT.
Are we shallow because we’re beauty-obsessed? Of course not. Absorb some art that feeds your inner beauty at BRIC’s annual Summer Art Social, hanging out with the artists in residence and enjoying some free ice cream and other treats.
A Year of Unlimited Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is one of those things that you didn’t know you needed - until you get it, and it changes your life. (Just trust). Be confidence about your seductive, touchable skin 24/7 - say adieu to razors.
A High Tea for Two at the House
Time to repose in resplendent style, beauty queen. This Gramercy Park landmark is an idyllic place to spend an afternoon with a proper British tea, gourmet sandwiches, desserts, an Alice’s Tea Cup scone and jam, and cakes - all served on an adorable 3 tiered tray. Finally, a meal as classy and pretty as you are.
8/14 Secret Summer NYC
Undoubtedly one of the most anticipated events every summer, this farm-to-table cocktail and food extravaganza unfolds in a “secret garden” lush with climbing ivy. La vie est belle!
