Inside Belletrist x Kiko Milano's Beauty & The Book Event At The Bowery Hotel

Emma Roberts & Karah Preiss, founders of Belletrist, host beauty & book-filled event in NYC

“I am so excited to be hosting a beauty & the book event with Belletrist and Kiko because back in 2009 when I wanted to start a book blog I wanted to call it Beauty & the Book, because I hated that there was no where for people to talk about beauty products and books. I felt like when I was a teenager you had to either be a nerdy reader or a superficial beauty person and I feel like why can’t you be both.” — Emma Roberts

Guests sipped on book-inspired cocktails, picked up copies of past Belletrist book picks, made poetry on a giant poetry wall, grabbed a Belletrist quote bookmark, and listened to Emma & Karah in conversation with Journalist and Author Lili Anolik on her upcoming novel DIDION & BABITZ. Kiko Milano had a beauty bar set up so attendee’s could get their makeup done in the latest collection and collaboration between Emma Roberts and Kiko.
