If you’re a beauty and wellness enthusiast, the NewBeauty Live event was made for you!
The NewBeauty Live 2026 event, hosted by Lara Eurdolian, was absolute paradise for anyone who loves to discover, and try out the latest beauty products on the market. As soon as you walk in, you’re met with back-to-back brand activations that introduce their products, explain the benefits, and you get to leave with the product and give it a go yourself. The Balance, Beauty & Beyond themed event, which was hosted at Lavan Midtown, was a meeting of the minds for consumers who want to experience a hands-on way to find new products that they’ll love and spread the word about.
