Sephora's Pretty Part-ay @ 42nd & Madison

As far as beauty parties go, last night's event at Sephora 42nd & Madison couldn't have been better: Champagne and crab cakes circling, exclusive tunes blaring, and big-time beauty editors combing shelves for their personal picks. “As beauty editors, we sometimes take products for granted, because we rarely have to shop around for them,” Marie Claire's Samantha Giordano said. “So this is a real treat, being able to pick out exactly what I want.” So, next question is, of course: What did they want? Here are a few faves:

HOLLY CARTER, OK! MAGAZINE
Nars Body Glow, $59—“It comes in Monoi Body Glow II also, which is just the oil, but I love the golden shimmer of this one. It's perfect for summer.”
Prada Amber Pour Homme, $49.50—“My boyfriend absolutely loves this. And it's such a great, sexy scent for fall.”

CARRIE STERN, QUICK & SIMPLE
Nars Blush/Bronzer Duo in Orgasm/Laguna, $36—“My old bronzer just shattered when I took it on the plane. That’s the problem: A lot of bronzers don’t do well when I travel because they’re too big. So this duo is perfect; two consolidated shades.”
Juicy Tube Smoothie in Spring Fling—“I actually have one at home that I’ve had for years. I love it, but figured it’s about time to get a new one.”

SAMANTHA GIORDANO, MARIE CLAIRE
Clinique Men’s M Lotion, $19—“I’m getting this shaving lotion for my dad. It’s a perfect gift for Father’s Day.”

APRIL LONG, NYLON
Murad Optimal Health & Beauty Dietary Supplement, $125—“I’ve heard a lot about these vitamins, so I’m really excited to finally try them out. And the package says it’s the equivalent of eating, like, 85 avocados? Have to try it.”
