I was blessed to attend 19 fashion shows backstage to witness first looks and chat with celebs and designers (I even took a selfie with Diane von Fürstenberg herself and Vogue’s own Grace Coddington!) I must say it was a September to remember.

This ‘Curl Gurl’ was at Lincoln Center and other off-site shows sometimes from 6:00 AM all the way to 10:00 PM during the weekend — but it was all worth it! Aside from my life support (COFFEE!) to keep me going, I had my camera, Mercedes-Benz credentials and backstage passes all raring to go.

1. Ouidad Melt-Down Extreme Repair Mask ($40.00) Carrying around heavy bags (especially my camera strap) tend to catch my hair, ripping and causing unwanted frizz. This repair mask provides bountiful TLC for my curls. Read the review of the Melt-Down Extreme Repair Mask HERE!

2. Ouidad Double Detangler Comb ($24.00) This comb arrived at the perfect time to detangle my hair is one swipe. This comb is weighted, so fewer strokes are needed to detangle in half the time.

3. Clinique All About Eyes Serum De-Puffing Eye Massage ($28.00) PERFECT since I was up
at 5:00 AM for NY Fashion Week, and still going strong until 10:00 PM ALL WEEKEND — my usual sleep-in days. A true lifesaver! My eyes look refreshed with no bags in sight!

4. WHISH Deodorant Wipes: (30pk $22.00/8pk $7.00) Wearing ALL BLACK during Fashion Week is tricky with deodorant, leaving behind a white, chalky residue. A quick and easy swipe of these deodorant wipes banished both odor and slows unwanted hair growth. Read my full review of these deodorant wipes HERE!

5. Joelle Cotton Shapewear Tank Top by Yummie Tummie ($48.00) Breathable and perfect
for layering, the Joelle Cotton Shapewear Tank Top slims the midsection and torso with moderate control, smoothing you out without adding an extra shaper. Perfect hip-length design makes it ideal for low rise pants.
