Enjoi Lux and Kami Cosmetics Presents The Glam Room


Enjoi Lux anfd Kami Cosmetics Presents The Glam Room event was held on Sunday, June 5th at Studio 450, at 450 West 31st Street.

Enjoi Lux merged glamour and empowerment into a 1 day fashion & beauty experience celebrating the drive and determination of today's woman. By adding a touch of GLAM to a day of beauty and inspiration, attendees had an opportunity to hear tips and tricks of the trade from a panel of industry influencers while shopping and enjoying sips and treats. 

The GLAM panelists included Kyrzayda Rodriguez, from Style Network's "Glam Fairy," Brooklyn's Dollhouse owner, Chyna Russell, top yoga expert in New York City, Kat Fowler and hair & beauty editor, Deena Campbell. The panel was moderated by multimedia beauty and wellness journalist, Grace Gold. 

The panelists shared their own challenges. Since Instagram posts make everything look so perfect, Chyna struggles with being able to show her vulnerable side on social media, and she's been able to connect with her followers in that way through Facebook Live, as they get a glimpse into her home life and being a mom. Kyrzayda told us how she quits everyday, but then picks herself up and keeps going, and to always put your best foot forward, even when you are tired. For Kat, being a freelancer, is challenging since you don't have the stability of a normal job and end up having to deal with a lot of rejection. It'd important to believe in yourself when things don't go your way, and remember to tell yourself this is who you are and what you do and you're here for a reason. Make sure you are being clear on your purpose and mission. 

When asked who they take inspiration from, Chyna said her clientele, as she really tries to understand what it is they would like to achieve. Kyrzayda takes inspiration from her followers and their comments, as well as bloggers that she follows. They also talked about how important collaborations are, and how it's a great way to grow and learn something new from each other.
