6 Must-Have Items in My Fashion Week Beauty Survival Kit

Fashion Week was fun.  Sort of.  While I saw several good and a couple great runway shows (Christian Siriano and Monique Lhuillier), I'm not in love with the Lincoln Center locale.  And despite my dogged efforts, I never received the press goodie bag, which is partially why I pay for registration each season (lesson learned; next season I will rely on invitations).

What I do love, however, is all of the new beauty swag I picked up:



Patyka Green Tangerine Hair & Body Wash ($26) from France is made from organic green tangerine oil.  The aromatic, organic shower gel leaves my skin silky smooth and smelling subtly fresh and fruity.




Spanx Tight-End Tights ($28) come to my rescue every Fashion Week.  I don't think there's a better pair of tights on the market.  They come in stylish patterns and colors, and provide tummy, thigh, and rear-end control.



Victoria's Secret Bombshell Eau de Parfum ($45) is a glam blend of purple passion fruit, Shangri-la peony, and vanilla orchid.  I was given a bottle of the new scent at the Victoria's Secret Lounge and can't wait to use it.




Maybelline Stiletto Mascara ($7) kept my lashes voluptuous and helped fill in my too-thinly arched brows.




Votre Vu Magnificent Energizing Creme for the Feet ($29) smells divine and thanks to a combo of the cream and Magnificent Exfoliating Treatment for Feet ($32), my post-Fashion Week feet feel refreshed and renewed.







Lenor Greyl Scalp Revitalizing Essential Oils ($47) is what I plan to use after I wash my hair.  I love that it's made with natural, purifying ingredients including borage oil, increases blood circulation, and prevents scalp deficiencies.

Conway Discount Clothing Chain Closing in New York City

(Tracy E. Hopkins) It's the end of a budget shopping era. Conway discount stores are closing in New York City . As of this weekend, a sign on the sole Herald Square location (34th Street btwn 7th and 8th Ave) says the store will close in "7 Days." Before I relocated to the Big Apple, I was introduced to the discount chain while on a bus trip from Baltimore.  I recall the first time I saw Conway's signature pink bags carried by hurried shoppers in midtown. And Miss Foster, the trip organizer and a bargain hunter from way back, took me to the store for the first time. Conway store in the Fulton Mall./Tracy E. Hopkins When I moved here in 1994, my love affair with Conway continued.  I furnished my first apartment with discount knick-knacks and home goods from the store.  And much to my chagrin, in hindsight, I curated most of my wardrobe for my first full-time job from the long-shuttered 42nd Street and Third Avenue store. One regretful ensemble: Lime green and...
