Inside Award Season Gifting Lounges

Stepping into the Secret Room Events gifting lounge during award season is a kaleidoscope of colors. Invitations are sent to entertainment nominees before an award show. Movie stars arrive with their managers and publicists to receive and learn about exquisite jewelry, trendy skin and hair care products, clothing, stationary and organizers, children’s products, vacation destinations and gourmet food items. A select few journalists also get to participate in the gifting frenzy.

Here’s a peek at some of the exclusive products presented and gifted to guests attending the event:

To get camera ready for the Golden Globes, attendees received NUDESTIX gift bags. The easy-to-use makeup crayons cover all the bases – face, eyes and lips for a fresh-faced, nude look. I received magnetic matte lip crayons and a sharpener. The easy to use smooth lip crayon spreads skin-saving vitamins, antioxidants and moisturizers. They come in eight different shades. Shop online or at Sephora stores to get movie-star looks.

While getting ready for an award ceremony nominees might want to use the KOCOSTAR Home beauty products they received. In the privacy of their own home, they can apply the Moisture Pack Series to enrich, moisturize, hydrate and soothe hair, skin and toes. Their most unique product is their Flower Mask comprised of 12 individual petals infused with the scent and essence of a rose, sunflower and tulip. The compact petals are made of fibers from eucalyptus tree to rejuvenate skin gently (even on the sensitive skin). Each petal targets specific areas of ones face or body with intense nourishment.

Every woman’s fingernail at the Golden Globes may be dazzled with MORGAN TAYLOR professional nail lacquer. Each attendee received a beautiful gift bag filled with Formaldehyde, Toluene, and DBP free nail lacquer that is infused with rare elements – finely milled luminous metallics, shimmers, decadent crèmes, stunning sheers and more glistening glitters. Inspired by luminous pearls, raw gems, semi-precious stones, glimmering silvers and radiant gold all drawn from the earth, beside lacquers, the nail care line has products with names that include Stick With It (Basecoat), Go Ahead and Grow (All in one nail treatment and basecoat with Keratin and vitamin E), The Need for Speed (faster-than-fast-dry top coat), Make it Last (helps your lacquer last longer on your nails) and lastly, Mattes a Wrap (chip-resistant top coat).

Food items included small batch, all-natural, non-GMO whole grain Maddy & Maize Popcorn as a sweet treat. The gourmet popcorn is available in a variety of elevated flavors that include Bourbon Barbecue, Coconut Curry, Birthday Cake with Sprinkles, Avocado Oil with Sea Salt and Lemon Raspberry Layer Cake. Each attendee received a reusable bag filled with variety bags of popcorn.

For a satisfying treat, Amberlee Taylor gave everyone a box of Mama Taylor Treats. “I make the BEST fudge you’ve ever tasted.” Inside each box were pieces of different flavored fudge that “melts in ones mouth and warms ones heart.” Her Caramel by the Sea fudge is her most popular flavor. It’s made with white chocolate with caramel and topped with sea salt.

William Robinson, the founder of LIVE VESSEL handed each attendee a functional, fashionable travel mug designed to optimize the quality and taste of a hot or cold beverage. It reduces residual chlorine in running water and optimize the water quality to make the water softer and sweeter. Robinson discovered these unique and popular hand crafted tumblers in China and Taiwan by ACERA artisans. Now he brought the vessels to the United States.

Nearby, attendees received a PASSION PLANNER to help them stay organized, focused and achieve their goals for 2018. Founder, CEO and Designer Angelia Trinidad is not your typical entrepreneur. She is young, a woman, and a minority who is a first generation American from a large middle class family. She is well educated beyond traditional education through personal reading. Her Passion Planner helps people break down their long and short terms goals into more actionable steps and give a person a place to write down and incorporate these steps into their daily lives.
