PRLog (Press Release) - Feb. 27, 2013 - Beautiful Planning Marketing & PR (http://www.bpm-pr.com (http://www.bpm-pr.com/)), also known as BPMPR, recently celebrated the success of their first-of-its-kind event, The Reality of FASHION The Reality of AIDS(http://realityontherunway.com/). This was a philanthropic event where various reality TV stars joined forces to walk the runway in order to raise money for the RFRA 2013 AIDS charity of choice, Broadway Cares. The event took place on the evening of Saturday, February 9th, 2013 during the New York City Fall/Winter 2013 Fashion Week. Though most of the focus was driven to the load of reality stars walking the runway for a profound purpose, one of the greatest perks the attendees received, besides watching their favorite stars strut, were the gift bags which featured an array of products that ranged from health and wellness items to beauty cosmetics.

“The event was such a major success,” states CEO and founder of BPMPR, Monique Tatum. “We worked with some amazing people, and we were so happy to bring some light to such an important cause. Despite the snow storm a couple days before the event, we worked with some amazing companies that managed to deliver their items to us just in time. They were a part of this event as well.”

Each gift bag varied in the unique slew of items it contained. Sponsors for the gift bags included:

·         Plantogen, which featured their organic microdermabrasion scrub. It is a gentle facial scrub with Vitamin C rich Kakadu Plum, Bamboo Stem Powder, Licorice Root and fruit enzymes that provided mild microdermabrasion and skin brightening properties.

Known for its expertise in styling curly, kinky, and wavy hair of all types and textures, Miss Jessie's Salon became the go to place for curly hair solutions. Various gift bags featured their “curly meringue” and “soapy suds” hair products.
