Fashion's Night Out!

If you're in the NYC area, be sure to check out Fashion's Night Out tonight, an initiative aimed to promote the retail industry by encouraging consumers to spend the night away! What's cool about this is it's actually a huge global initiative - France, China, Brazil, Italy and a ton of other major countries are all hosting Fashion's Night Out tonight. I would totally be there if I still lived in the city (maybe I'll start up Fashion's Night Out - the South Bend, IN edition next year).

In between guilt-free shopping built on the premise of saving people's jobs in the fashion industry, be sure to check out one of my absolute favorite make up lines, tarte cosmetics (an eco-chic line filled with good for you ingredients and fab formulas and shades). tarte is teaming up with designer Tracy Reese and retailer Henri Bendel to host two parties where you can enjoy cocktails and a complimentary makeup application from a top tarte artist! The tarte/Tracy Reese party is held at 64 Hudson St. from 6-11 and check out tarte/Henri Bendel at 712 5th Ave. (at 56th St.) also from 6-11pm.

tarte is also currently on sale on TheFairest.com, a genius new member's only site that hosts beauty sales a la fashion sites like Rue La La and Gilt Groupe. Scoop up some tarte at 50% off for one more day!
