How Beia Encourages Skincare for Your Love Life Amid Launch of Body & Intimacy Serum

by Samantha Bergeson June 29, 2022
written by Samantha Bergeson

Beia is bringing sexy back to the bedroom and beyond.

Founder Brittany Lo exclusively spoke with The Knockturnal about what drives the beloved business. Especially now more than ever, businesses need to de-stigmatize female pleasure. The brand’s newest product, Body & Intimacy Serum, introduces a new kind of pleasure derived from sustainable ingredients like Squalane, Coconut, and Aloe Vera to rejuvenate skin.

Below, founder Lo gives us the lowdown on why Beia is ahead of the curve.

The Knockturnal: What led you to create this brand?

Brittany Lo: Beia was founded in June 2021 and the word stems from the Mandarin (Chinese) word “bao bei” meaning precious treasure. Beia is all about taking time for me-moments and finding these precious treasures of time throughout the day for yourself. I grew up fascinated by my mother’s makeup bag and wrote in my second grade journal that I would one day have a beauty line, but the idea specifically for Beia’s big vision of serious skin for your personal pleasure came from my dating experiences and having intimate conversations with countless women who were taking their next step in their relationships (marriage) through my other company Beautini and learning about their pain points when it comes to beauty.

My first company Beautini, a wedding hair and makeup business, organically turned into a built-in market research platform with my clients and gained insights into their personal lives. For starters, a large group of women, due to blemishes or other skin concerns in their nether regions, were extremely self-conscious during sex. Additionally, more than that, they weren’t orgasming. Uncovering this was a turning point—a moment where I committed to empowering women with the tools they need to discover personal pleasure in all the right ways. Because when you stop listening to the noise and start doing what feels best for your body, you’ll begin to feel truly confident.

Beia is serious skincare for the bedroom and beyond. This is SO much bigger than sex. It’s about feeling your best before, during, and after the big event.

What is your bestseller? 

It was actually incredibly important to me to launch Beia with one single hero product. Quality is a top focus for us so I wanted to make sure we invested all of our time and research into making one incredible product rather than a handful of average products. By launching with one SKU, we were able to learn more about who our consumer really is and what they really want and need from us to then develop our future products. I hosted focus groups with many of our Beautini brides which led us to creating our Daily Hydrating & Setting Mist as our first product. They wanted a product that would ensure their makeup lasted all day, but also gave them a morning after glow too!

Who is your customer? 

Our customers are between the ages of 25-45 who value taking care of themselves and invest in products that help them do so! At heart, she knows she’s a badass babe who deserves it all. However, all too often, that sentiment gets lost in the shuffle of everyday life. She needs help cutting through the noise of work, social demands, family and beyond so she can focus on what’s more precious than anything else: herself.

She won’t necessarily go out of her way for personal pleasure, but she’s certainly open to the idea of it. When the girls come calling for a spa weekend, she thinks it sounds ahhh-mazing. She’ll sign up for a fitness class for the workout, but really enjoy the release it provides. When it comes to intimacy, you won’t ever catch her walking into a raunchy sex shop—but if an opportunity for intimacy comes to her, she’ll totally embrace it.

Once she gets into the groove of  feeling and looking her best,  she’ll start experiencing a way more fulfilling life.

Where do you see the brand in 5 years? 

We are expanding into the sexual wellness space. Currently there is a lot of shame and guilt associated with women when it comes to sexual wellness. I want women to feel empowered to own their sexuality and make personal decisions that they feel good about without worrying about societal norms or expectations for women! With Beia we want to introduce products that address intimate concerns in a very sophisticated way where eventually women will proudly display their lube or sexual wellness products on their nightstand rather than hide it deep within a sock drawer. When you feel your best, you experience true inner confidence that radiates from the inside out and I’m determined to help women achieve that radiance through Beia!

Why was creating a clean beauty brand important for you? 

Growing up I would react to different products and ingredients pretty easily so I wanted to create products where you didn’t have to choose between what’s good for your skin vs what works best. Consumers are now more educated on what they put in their bodies from a food standpoint and I believe this is expanding into beauty more and more. Our customers deserve the best so I want to create products that make them feel good and are really good for them too!

Tell us about the self-love vs. guilt concept behind the brand. What does that motto personally mean for you? 

One of the big factors in me creating Beia was experience all the societal taboo around sex. As. a society we have been programmed to feel guilty experiencing pleasure or try to never talk about sex in everyday conversations because we feel awkward or uncomfortable discussing that topic. In reality, our physical beauty, mental health and sexual wellbeing all tie into our beauty and wellbeing and it’s important we see this is a version of self love and not to be ashamed of pleasure.

This Tasting Menu Paired Every Dish with Champange. Here’s How it Went.

by Benjamin Schmidt June 21, 2022
written by Benjamin Schmidt

For many Americans, champagne has always been reserved for moments of iconic joy: celebrations and special occasions only. Given champagne’s seemingly physical manifestation of joy with its golden color and pop of bubbles, it makes sense.

But today, we’re witnessing a shift in the perception of champagne- toward one of consistency, crispness, and of course, effervescence- serious and sophisticated taste profiles suitable for the lunch or dinner table. Champagne has emerged as a strong contender for daily drinking, and no reasonable sommelier would criticize you for choosing to select a bubbly sip along with your main course.

In order to make the case, guests joined Laurent Fresnet, Cellar Master at G. H. Mumm, for a Tasting Encounter: a chance to sample a variety of the house’s most cherished wines along with a series of beautiful dishes, ultimately demonstrating the capabilities of champagne. Here’s what we drank and ate:

 

Champagne: G.H. Mumm RSRV Cuvée Lalou 2006

Paired with: Rigatoni with lamb, artichoke, and feta

Notes: This wine is a story of minerals and one of the top offerings from Mumm. The meaty artichoke plays flawlessly against this earthy composition of apples and stone fruit while the cheese is a natural pairing, if not a bit amusing with the chalky feta attacking this acidic pour, never landing a single punch. According to Mr. Fresnet, 2006 was an “unbelievable” year for champagne, and its shared boldly in this ripe wine. This RSRV designation indicates a unique blend of five of Maison Mumm’s Grand Cru terroirs. The lighter character of lamb worked politely with this champagne, countering claims that champagne is ill-suited for consumption with many proteins. Solid pairing, would recommend.

Shop RSRV Cuvée Lalou 2006 from $145.00 at mumm.com

 

Champagne: G.H. Mumm Cordon Rouge Vinothéque 1961

G.H. Mumm Cordon Rouge Vinothéque 1961

Paired with: Seared tuna with broccoli, pine nut, tahini, and chili as well as a variety of cheeses.

Notes: While the cellar master is his principle work, Laurent Fresnet is also the guardian of the Mumm Oenothèque, a library of old vintages that have been the subject of meticulous care from the moment they were cellared. The signature Cordon Rouge of 1961 is one such wine, containing decades of history and preservation. To even think of serving this wine with food could astound, but with remarkable effervescence after all this time, the 1961 was well suited to the seared tuna, being particularly activated by the pine nut, which offered a textural contrast to the honey-tinged notes of the champagne. The historical context made this course a bit overwhelming, in a good way.

The Cordon Rouge was again served with a classic selection of cheeses supplemented by honeycomb, rhubarb, and apricot. All together, these accompaniments with this archival champagne felt incredibly refined and indulgent; the flavors naturally sweet and luxurious, and the situation feeling deeply French. High marks.

 

Champagne: G.H. Mumm RSRV Rosé Foujita

Paired with: Dark chocolate tart with dulce de leche ganache and vanilla ice cream.

Notes: A civil affair, the RSRV Rosé Foujita is a blend of six Grand Cru terroirs, bringing together Pinot Noir from Verzenay, Aÿ and Bouzy, and Chardonnay from Cramant and Avize. Red wine from Ambonnay, another Grand Cru village, is added to the blend. Together, there is a fullness and intensity on the palate, as well as aromas of red and black fruit. This Rosé played smoothly against the dark chocolate, where notes of cherry and raspberry managed to push toward the front. This feels like the X-rated version of a classic dessert wine. I couldn’t help but feel a bit scandalous. High marks.

Eva Longoria brought celebrities, influencers, and editors who all share a love for tequila to kick off the summer at her Hamptons beach house. Named after her luxe tequila brand Casa Del Sol, ‘House of Sun’ is set to be the place to be all summer 2022.

Bodvár House of Rosé Throws Lush, Pastoral National Rosé Day Event

Did I dream this event? It still feels like I haven’t woken up. Bodvár House of Rosé hosted a private luncheon and DJ reception to celebrate National Rosé day, and celebrate we did.

I ponied up to the bar as soon as I arrived, ready to try both the signature cocktail and the frozé, each served in Godinger National Rosé Day glasses.

Both were as crisp as the sky was blue; lovely, light yet piquant notes matched the picturesque yet gaudy environs.

Photo: Julie Logan

CEOs Ann and Bodvár Hafstrom raised a toast to their elegant dinner guests, thanking us for coming and wishing us well.

Lunch was divine, a summery blend of watermelon salads, ostentatious fruit flights and perfectly cooked meats. It felt like being on a film set, except we were allowed to eat the food. Thank heavens.

DJ SUNNFORS took us toward dusk with some of finest mixes I’ve heard outside of a techno club. They delivered a sensational mix of alternative r&b, post-punk and house, a winning combination if there ever was one.

We danced the night away, I had more charcuterie, and we all left with a limited edition Bodvár Basket Beach Bag, featuring items from partners like Alice and Olivia.

Let’s do it again this weekend?

All the Inside Details for Patricia Field’s Surprise 80th Birthday Party

by Samantha Bergeson June 7, 2022
written by Samantha Bergeson

Iconic costume designer Patricia Field rang in her 80th birthday with a surprise fete courtesy of Pretty Connected’s Lara Eurdolian.

Field, who is the visionary behind the curated closets of “Sex and the City,” “Emily in Paris,” “Devil Wears Prada,” and “Younger,” was shocked to see her closest friends like Fern Mallis, Kelly Cutrone, Miss J, Orfeh, Daphne Rubin-Vega, Anthony Haden-Guest, and Leah McSweeney at Fig 19 to toast to her epic b-day.

Guests sipped on custom cocktails crafted with Curamia Tequila and Kastra Elion Greek Vodka paired with Q Mixers as an homage to Field’s Greek roots. Le Coqtail, Bev, and Bronx Brewery also supplied alcohol. Custom pizza pies by Williamsburg Pizza spelled “Happy 80th” and “Pat Field” in ricotta cheese and Moet crystalized personal bottles in honor of Field.

While Field’s actual 80th birthday was on February 12, the forward-thinking fashionista was currently filming Season 2 of “Run the World” and waited until the nice summer weather to celebrate with good vibes. And the party sure paid off thanks to the intimately luxe LES speakeasy!

Fashion stars Robert Verdi, Ryan Raftery, George Wayne, Erika Alexander and The Blonds posed in luxe looks while Broadway actress Orfeh led the “Happy Birthday” song with a special performance by Dai Burger.

“What a surprise this was for me,” Field gushed of the “unbelievable” event. “I’m so happy and I hope you’re all as happy as me.”

Each attendee was gifted a limited edition Patricia Field x Pretty Connected ICON charm to commemorate the special event, which was also filmed for an upcoming 2023 documentary celebrating Field’s legacy and career.
