Maybelline’s 2013 makeup line preview was held last Thursday at the top of The Empire State Building’s 80th floor Observatory…WHAT A VIEW! I was grinning from ear-to-ear, like a kid at a candy store… LITERALLY! There was a hotdog cart and Dylan’s Candy Bar… SWEET!

Right as you entered the venue, I saw a newsstand where you were greeted with an empty Maybelline bag to “shop Maybelline way” (grab all the makeup not-yet-available-until-January 2013 you can!) Tattoo artists (temporary, of course) were on deck at the Eye Studio Color Tattoo 24hr Metal Cream-Gel Shadow stand; the DJ spun hot tracks and the night was right!

Ali And Evelyn

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.

Here’s what else Maybelline will launch in January 2013:
