Schick hosted over 40 beauty & style editors for an evening at Luxe Laboratory to “free their spirits and inhibitions”. The event debuted Schick’s new TrimStyle razor, featured the Schick Intuition and perfectly highlighted Schick’s “naughty and nice” theme by transforming into two distinct areas, each embodying either naughty or nice through contrasting decor and separate menus. Editors began with “nice” as guest host Barbara Bizou guided them through the art of erasing bad karma, before spending the latter “naughty” portion of the evening with burlesque performer Veronica Varlow who demonstrated the art of self confidence and taught seductive tricks of the trade.
