Runway-Ready With Primp at NYFW

As the buzz and beauty of New York Fashion Week descends upon the city, we at Primp Events are gearing up another insane, fun, thrilling week. There is a lot of pressure, but this is honestly where we thrive. It all starts with our team of super-talented, super-experienced service providers. They have done and seen it all.

It is a week where you have to be particularly nimble and willing to adjust on the fly. Over our years of working together, we have developed a rhythm that really helps us to adapt to whatever fashion week throws at us. Whether it is last-minute manicures and make-up adjustments for the runway, a sudden change of mind on hairstyles, or a change of models who all of sudden need some precision eyebrow shaping it seems there is always something. And it is always something different. There are big shows and small, product demos and corporate events. All with a different vibe but the same demand, this is a week where you have to look flawless.

There is definitely a special energy around fashion week and we do enjoy it. It is just one of the many aspects of being centered in NYC that we love. We get to work with so many different interesting clients and businesses who are looking to create magical, memorable experiences for their customers, employees, or friends. There is truly no other place we would rather be and no other people we’d rather be working for and with.

Celebrating Moments and Milestones in 2023

As we at Primp Events bid farewell to 2023, our hearts are filled with gratitude for a year of growth in every way. We love how our mobile salon and spa services bring smiles to people’s faces, and this year we did it for an incredible range of amazing businesses, brands and people.

There were new collaborations with iconic brands like Nike, Birkenstock, CoverGirl and Byrdie. We loved re-uniting with a wide range of great partners from Sally Beauty to PwC. New York Fashion Week was bigger, better and more exciting than ever. It is always a thrill to see our work at the shows. And there is nothing that puts a smile on our faces like getting to meet and service the women of Project Greenhope. 

The whirlwind that was 2023 was made possible by our rock star team. They are wonderfully talented, truly dedicated and simply just lovely people. They are what makes Primp unique, making every event and the experience of our clients special and memorable. With them by our side we are excited for what is ahead. 

So to our clients, collaborators, models, and everyone who allowed us to Primp up their moments, and to our fabulous team that made the magic happen, thank you for making 2023 an extraordinary year. We wish you all a happy and fabulous New Year.

Birkenstock Event

If you have ever owned a pair of Birkenstock shoes, you know how amazing their shoes are. (And if you haven’t do yourself a favor!) They are an incredible company, too, so it is no surprise they recently had their IPO on the New York Stock Exchange. Our Team at PRIMP had the privilege of helping them celebrate this momentous occasion with a series of events around the city celebrating, what else? Foot well-being. 

They transformed two locations in the city, creating oases of holistic health. It was like stepping out of the city into a beautiful zen garden. A zen garden where you would find the most indulgent foot massages waiting for you courtesy of our awesome team. No surprise that people absolutely loved it! It was a really cool event and so great to collaborate with Birkenstock with our onsite spa services. It was one of the best examples of the special experiences we can create when a company brings us in early and we work closely together on all the details. 

Congratulations to Birkenstock on this fantastic milestone and we would love to help you with your event. Even if you are just thinking about an event, give us a call and we will share our thoughts on how together we can make it an extraordinary event that your guests will love.

The Right Kind of Chill

As leaves change colors, days get shorter, and temperatures creep lower, our relaxing summers can seem like distant memories. Hustle and bustle is the name of the game once again soon to be followed by a sprint to the holidays. And while every season has its wonders, especially now it is important to relax and renew. Adding chair massages from Primp Events to your fall or winter event is a perfect way to do it. 

Three great reasons to add chair massages to your event:

  1. Instant Relaxation: Fall often brings a flurry of activities and to-do lists. Chair massages offer a quick and delightful break, a place where stress takes a back seat, and relaxation takes center stage.

  2. Cozy Comfort: With the cooler weather, indoor events become even more appealing. Chair massages fit seamlessly into various settings, ensuring your guests stay warm and snug.

  3. Revive and Recharge: Chair massages are known for their ability to ease tension, melt away stress, and re-energize you—a perfect match for the changing seasons.

When you choose Primp Events, you are choosing an experience that will elevate and distinguish your event. And make for some very happy guests. Our experienced massage therapists are true masters of relaxation, offering a personalized touch that sets us apart. Whether you're hosting a work event, a small get-together, or a celebration inspired by the season, Primp chair massages will help your guests relax, renew, and recharge.

NYFW

We provide mobile spa services for a wide range of clients from schools and hospitals, to film and TV, to fortune 500 companies throughout New York. One quintessential New York experience for us was working at Fashion Week for a major brand.

We were asked to show up at the theater pre-sunrise for a 3 pm show. When we walked through the door there was already lots of activity with the crew setting up the stage and lighting. We were then led downstairs and through a set of doors where we were greeted with an explosion of models, hair stylists, makeup artists, producers, and photographers mixing, mingling, and working. The place was rocking! It was electric and exciting and let's just say I did not need coffee that morning. Within minutes we were part of it and spent the next six hours helping each model get ready for the show.

Just as the show was about to start, I scampered off to find a good place to watch. It was magical. All these stunning women with hair two feet above their heads walk the celebrity-lined runway with great music blasting and fantastic lights sparkling above. And then in two minutes, the show was over. And I will tell you what, it was an amazing two minutes that I will always remember.

CDI, LLC tech summit with special guest Molly Bloom!

If you were fortunate enough to be at the CDI, LLC tech summit in NYC recently, you got to hear a fantastic talk from guest speaker, entrepreneur Molly Bloom of "Molly's Game” and you also got to enjoy some wonderful mobile spa services from Primp Events. We were asked to come in, set a great tone, and help make it a really special day for everyone. Guests were able to partake in stunning makeovers, relaxing chair massages, and gorgeous manicures or hand massages. The services were a huge hit! And a great prelude to Molly’s inspiring talk. The chair massages help you unwind and forget about the stresses in your life and manicures and make-up leave you feeling great about yourself. All in all it made for a really enjoyable and memorable day for all who attended.

Some benefits of adding spa services to your recruiting events.

We recently had the pleasure of helping Price Waterhouse Coopers (PwC) with a recruiting event. We brought in chair massages, manicures, and hand massages to help their candidates feel relaxed and welcome as they learned about PwC and got to know other potential candidates. Everyone loved the services and more importantly they set a great tone and made for a comfortable atmosphere where it was easy for people to engage with each other. The result was lots of great dialogue between the candidates, the recruiters and the PwC team members who were there to talk about their experiences at the company. As we all know company culture is a very important consideration and every candidate left that day with a positive feeling about PwC, not to mention some loose backs and pretty nails.

THANKSGIVING DINNER OUTFITS

If you can already smell the turkey, apple pie, and cranberry sauce, it is Party Season! The question of the month is what do I wear for Thanksgiving Dinner Party or should I just enjoy my dinner plate in bed?

Here are a few fashion choices I consider this year.

The classic sweater, jeans, and booties

This perfectly summarises: stylish yet comfortable, to be prepared for all of the running around and Turkey Dinner craziness.

A fall dress with boots

That is a great option if you all planning to enjoy all of the dinner goodies. The dress will allow you to breathe and move after the last bite you take.

Oversized Collard Shirt

Vintage is so in trend right now and I love it! You can pair this feminine shirt with a pair of darker color jeans.

Sweater Vest

Another great Thanksgiving outfit idea! Vests have been popular for a while now and it is super easy to style with a button-up or a turtleneck.

Plaid Blazer

Keeping it classy! The gorgeous statement as a Plaid Balzer is something elegant yet chic and approachable.

So what is it going to be? A family dinner, a party with friends or a stay at home kind of day?

Fall Trends.

Bye Spooky mood, we are ready for new makeup trends!


While we will always enjoy the timeless neutral palette and the natural beauty look, consider breaking from your usual routine and dive into bright tones! Everyone can find something that illustrates their personality. Ranging from delicate and feminine tones to eye-catching bright and bold hues!

Smokey Eyes! Smokey eyes are always in style, as they really should be! Smoked-out eyes are sexy, sensual and goes perfectly with with simple nude gloss.


Blush Party! Forget about barely visible contouring and try creamy, rich blush. This year, pink cheeks and temples are really popular. Some people even use lipsticks to achieve the desired smooth and silky appearance.

Metallic Eyeshadow! It is a remarkably simple way to add a touch of sparkle and shine to your look. By the way, celebrities love this look this season!

Fall is one of our favorite seasons, and we hope you enjoy trying out these cute fall cosmetics ideas that we intend to use for ourselves.

Halloween Makeup!

It is almost Halloween so it is time to get ready! Most people think costumes and candy but we think MAKEUP! A great Halloween costume is not complete without makeup. Thankfully, it is easier than you think.

Halloween is the rare occasion when people won't bat an eye if you wear strange, extravagant makeup. It is the only time of year that you can use anything and anything, wild contact lenses, glitter, and fake blood. Seriously, everything works when we talk about Halloween makeup. Remember that bright red lipstick in your collection that you never had a chance to wear, well that might be just the right time to try something bold!

The most important tip is: make sure to stick to the long-wear makeup, nothing is more terrifying than make-up that does not last all night.

A good idea is to use an inspirational photo. Using one is helpful, as well as a trial run beforehand. It always turns out better the second time around. Professional stylists and makeup artists can help you be the star of the Halloween party this year.

Do you know what you are going to be this Halloween? If you need help bringing your costume to life, let our make-up team at Primp help you.

Destress Employees with these Affordable & Great Event Benefits

Numerous studies show that job stress is far and away the major source of stress for American adults.

Employee Wellness Events can help alleviate stress in the workspace.

  • We all need a break! During a demanding workweek, a 10-minute break to unwind and recharge can seem impossible, especially when you need it most. It is simple to access physical, mental, and emotional wellness right at your office with corporate chair massages.

  • Create an amazing atmosphere. Employees spend a lot of time with their co-workers. The more they enjoy it, the happier the workplace will be. A Wellness Event could be a great opportunity and atmosphere for employees to come together and a great productivity booster for the entire office.

  • There is always something for everyone! Everyone can be pampered with different services, including Chair Massages, Mini-Facials, Manicures, Pedicures as well as Hair Styling and Make-Up demonstrations. Even a 5-minute hand massage works wonders.

  • Event packages can reduce your overall expenses.

PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE MAKEUP

I really do love Fall, especially in New York City. There are so many seasonal events, hidden parks, and unique experiences you can only enjoy for a few months each year. I love sweater weather, scarves, comfort food, leather boots, and coffee in my favorite mug. But I need to confess, there is one thing I have trouble getting excited about. It is Pumpkin Spice Lattes. The warm cozy Fall in a cup just does not do it for me.

But in my makeup!? That’s a different story. I love Pumpkin Spice makeup — the famous mix of spices: cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and allspice.

First prep your skin with your favorite moisturizer ( recommend SPF) and let's dive in!

  • Start with priming your lids to help eye makeup go on smoother and last longer. Use a fluffy brush and a light shade as a transition into the crease.

  • Apply a slightly darker shade into the crease using a blending brush

( use a fluffy blending brush after each step to make sure everything is seamless)

  • Then apply a dark shade ( deep orange or brown) to the outer corner of the eyelid. Blend and build it up until it's as vibrant as you want it to be.

  • With the wet/dry eye brush apply shimmer eyeshadow to the center and inner third of the lids, taking it close to the inner corners. You want to make sure to blend everything in the outer corner for a smooth transition.

  • Using the crease and blend brush, apply darker shade eyeshadow across the lower lash line. Blend out using windshield-wiping motions all the way across.

  • Time for a liner! Apply dark brown or black eyeliner pencil to the lash line, then use a brush to smooth it out after applying and wing it out a bit.

  • Add your favorite mascara and a quick brush to your eyebrows

  • Enjoy your smokin-hot Pumpkin Spice Latte Makeup look!

Fall Nail Care

One of the best ways to express your love for the fall is to dive into the array of Autumn​​ nail polish colors. Orange, green or brown can shine differently when you go with fun trendy nail polish. The leaves on the trees are changing and here we come with deep teal, forest green, gothic white, dusty red, or milk chocolate! I also like to make sure my nails are a part of my new fall beauty routine.​​ Just like our skin is affected by colder weather, so are our nails. Thick lotion or oils is my go-to, to save my nails from getting brittle or breaking.​​

As much as I love to experiment with fun nail colors in the fall, I always let my nails breathe and recover from my obsession with nail polish. Just a few days of rest can do the trick and do not forget to moisturize the nails during these breaks.

Considering all the changes from the outside (temperature and humidity level) we might want to give ourselves some help from within. There are so many good foods full of calcium, iron, and antioxidants for nail strength and growth. Make sure to include dark, leafy greens, like spinach, broccoli, kale, and collard greens in your diet. And no matter the weather we are ready to shine!

Sunny Days & Shades

Sunny days are here and our surroundings are now becoming more colorful. We have many things to look forward to including summer trips, outings, and more.

What better way to prepare for the warmer days than getting your feet ready for any type of show - even if it is just you strutting down your own runway while on your way to work!

From French Tips to sparkling shades, there are endless selections of combinations to choose from.

Prepare your hands and feet with these pretty, fun polish shades and nail art.

Pedi-Care: Winter Tips

Cold weather got your feet feeling blue?

During the winter time, we have no choice but to cover up and keep certain parts of our body from the cold. One, in particular, is our feet and because it is always covered up during this season, we tend to also provide it with less attention and maintenance since it would be rarely seen in any scene.

But must we wait until the sun is shining on our feet again to continue to give it some love? Lucky us, we do not need to! Let us give you some DIY winter tips that will make you have happy feet again no matter what season we are in.

The Sweetest Soak:
Ahhh...this one comes in handy especially on those rough days at work. Here is our favorite —
Anti-oxidant Honey Foot Soak.

Just drop a cup of honey into a shallow tub of warm water and with a 15-minute soak, your feet will feel softer than ever.

The Invigorating Scrub:
We might not be able to erase our coldest days but we can for sure scrub the dead skin away with our DIY Peppermint Foot Scrub.

What we need:

1/2 granulated sugar
4 drops of peppermint oil
coconut oil

Once swirled in together, we can then start applying it directly to our feet. Scrub the homemade potion and soak your feet in warm weather afterward. A slice of heaven for sure!

Moisturizing Socks:

Whether you start with our DIY soak or scrub, it is very important that we keep our feet moisturize especially in this harsh weather. Dry feet during winter can easily cause cracked heels and can lead into multiple disorders such as athlete’s foot. Our simple solution?
Our DIY Jelly socks!

To restore moisture back in our feet, we will only need a few things:

a pair of socks
petroleum jelly 

Before bed, coat your feet with the jelly and massage it evenly. Apply the socks once done and voila! The jelly will be working its magic overnight while you are getting your beauty sleep.

We hope you all enjoyed our mini DIYs and remember, our feet need TLC all throughout the 4 seasons and it only takes 1,2,3 to make it all happen.

The Beauty of Jade Rolling

For the holidays, I received a Jade Roller as a present with the face cream order.  I really did not know much about a Jade Roller so I put it aside and went about my normal skincare routine. A few nights later, I was watching a video posted by Well & Good and there was a woman discussing the benefits of Jade Rolling. I tuned in and am SO glad I did. After listening to her speak about the benefits of Jade rolling,  I immediately put mine in the refrigerator. Before bed that night, I washed my face and started my usual skincare routine. Afterward, I made my way to the refrigerator to roll the cold Jade roller over my face in the middle of my kitchen. I rinsed it off after use and returned it to my refrigerator. Now, the Jade Rolling is part of my daily face moisturizing routine. I felt divine, alive, relaxed and calm. The feeling of being able to treat my skin through a simple method is just phenomenal and it is as easy as 1, 2, 3. 

Below is one of the basic steps to use this invigorating treat for your skin! 
How to practice Jade rolling:

I recommend putting your roller in the fridge for a few hours before using it.

Step 1 -  Clean your face.

Step 2 - Exfoliate your skin.

Step 3 - Apply serum or moisturizer.

Step 4 Start rolling WITH outward and upward motions around each area, about 3 times.

Step 5- Wipe your face and reapply serum or moisturizer if needed. 

Step 6- Clean your Jade Roller and place it in a pouch or ziplock bag.

Dress Your Nails For The Season

The holiday season is here and it is time to join in with the festivities.

Organic Skincare

Last week, I was sitting across from my 82-year-old mother and found myself staring at her face. Something was slightly different. Her skin looked firmer, healthier-glowing a bit. I had not seen her in a few weeks so the thought of a little plastic surgery did cross my mind. She joked for years about a little nip and tuck here and there but she would tell me right? So of course, I said something. I told her how great she looked (because she did) so she had the opportunity to spill the beans. She said, “it is the cream you told me about.” I could not believe my ears that I was getting all the credit for introducing her to this wonderful organic skincare line I discovered about 10 years ago called Savor Beauty. I was excited to think that my skin may look like hers when I am her age since I use the line religiously twice a day. It truly is an amazing line and I think it works!
