Have you tried this yet?

One of the missions of The Thread is to introduce you to projects, people, and of course, fashion concepts that make your life easier and more fun. Our friends at P&G are constantly creating innovations that do just that, and we were lucky enough to attend an event in NYC called “Have You Tried This Yet?” where a full spectrum of beauty innovations were on display. In this episode, we talked to industry experts and demoed affordable and effective products from brands like CoverGirl, Herbal Essences, Olay, Clairol Nice ‘n Easy, and Crest 3D White. Welcome to your head-to-toe beauty lineup!

Imagine a party space packed with beauty demonstrations, great music, and experts ready to style and color your hair, match your skin with the right foundation, and load you up with massaging body bars. The “Have You Tried This Yet?” event was a pretty fun event, we admit.

Over at the Herbal Essences area we talked to stylists about how Touchably Smooth shampoo and conditioner add shine and smoothness to hair, which are especially important if you use heated styling tools. For girls who love to change up their hair color or just cover their grays, Clairol’s Nice 'n Easy has what’s probably the biggest at-home color innovation in decades. The color blend foam means a no-drip application! At CoverGirl the makeup artists showed me which NatureLuxe silk foundation was right for my skin tone, then helped me select a fabulous berry red gloss lip balm— hot for spring 2012.

Have you tried any of these innovations? You can find all the details—and coupons!— at PGTryit.com.  We’d love to hear what you think— post on our Facebook wall and let us know.
