Ali Goldstein, VP of Marketing at Maybelline, took the stage to address all guests by saying,
“This building is the ultimate representation of hope, dreams, accomplishments and aspirations, which is also what Maybelline stands for; it represents the New York state of mind. It’s about the young girl who comes to NYC to discover herself.”
The DJ then cued Alicia Key’s “Empire State of Mind” (nice!). Maybelline will unveil its new 2013 makeup in January in 129 countries (at all mass retailers.) BUT, beginning December 26, 2012 the hottest new item will be The Rocket by VOLUM’EXPRESS Mascara, ($7.77) for lashes 8x bigger, smoother and even.
