fashionably petite: Real Simple Beauty & Balance Weekend

Sally Hansen Nail Art Station

Real Simple Magazine is holding their first-ever Beauty & Balance Weekend at the Andaz 5th Avenue. The two-day pop-up experience on March 15th and 16th celebrates their annual beauty issue with fitness classes, brunch and beauty treatments.

I decided to spend my Saturday at Beauty & Balance pop-up, first checking out the Power Brunch featuring scrambled eggs and moving right along to my first beauty service - a manicure at the Sally Hansen Nail Art Station. My favorite treatment was the Amore Pacific mini facial at the Amore Pacific Skincare Lab, including products from the Moisture Bound line. After my mini facial I received a Benefit Mini-Makeover with the new liquid to powder Big Easy, which I am already obsessing over. I ended my day of beauty treatments with an amazing massage at the Kate Spade New York Relaxation Lounge. Guests also had the chance to get their hair styled at the Ricardo Rojas Hair Styling and Blowout Bar.

All guests had signed up for their beauty appointments online here. Saturday was very relaxed and organized, with each beauty treatment timed at 15 minutes. My beauty treatments couldn't go any smoother, as I was easily able to move from one appointment to the next, with a spacious setup for each beauty station. Guests also took home a Real Simple tote including beauty samples and goodies.

If you have any appointments at Beauty & Balance on Sunday, make sure you don't miss them!
