The Last day of NYFW: Bite Beauty & Will Chavarria
The Final Day Our last day at New York Fashion Week involved zero shows, which was actually pretty magical since we actually had time to explore the city, have a few adventures and barely make it to the airport in time for our flight. AKA a perfect New York City day. Bite Beauty Bar Our first stop was the Bite Beauty Bar to make custom lipsticks, an idea that was the brainchild of my beauty blogger companion for the trip Jenn Haskins.

It’s overwhelming and frankly, I am overwhelmed.
