GRAMMYs Beauty & Gifting Suites Wrap-Up

By Laura Medina

The Oscars are dawning on us but leaving these yummy GRAMMYs Beauty and Gifting Suites and Lounges would be heart-breaking.

Since the GRAMMYs occured a week to two days before Valentine's Day, this is the Recording Academy's way of showing its love to the musicians for all their hard work, dedication, touring, recording, and rehearsing.

Since the Awards Season gifting and beauty suites are the launching pads for some luxurious products and brands, you too can buy the same stuff these performers are using to prep and pamper before hitting the stage and the afterparties for your own holidays and parties.


The unspoken secret is that a multitude of gifting suites are tied to charity organizations.

On the day of the GRAMMYs, AJ Crimson of Kissable Couture and Ja'Maal Buster, the Eye Lash Guru, along with the best women DJs, loved their for Black Girls Rock!, a non-profit organization aiming to build young women's and girls' self-esteem.

What's a better way than aligning itself with a beauty pampering event helping the ladies of rock in getting ready for the GRAMMYs?



Does getting that Glamazon Look intimidate you because you don't know what to buy and how to put them on?


These are why beauty and style suites exist. They are here to support and teach you some really great tips.


If your fingers are too clumsy and your eyelids too scared about gluing on lush lashes, Ja'Maal Buster is here to the rescue.


Rock and R&B divas fell in love with his precise, easy, and never fussy eye lash applicator clips.

As a recent newbie to the Award Season show and parties...and galas...and festivals, this scribe found Ja'Maal Buster's Eye Lash Placement a quickie god-send.


Simply take the eye lash clips. Hold the false eye lashes in the clips. Apply the eye lash glue (it must be skin-friendly eye lash glue) to the rim of the false lashes. Close your eye. Gently place the lashes directly right above your natural lashes with the applicator clip precisely and easily putting the lashes in the right place.


Now, your eyes look lush and sexy without the tears and drama or the smear.


Hard Rock Cafe in Hollywood also doled out the goods to Malin Ackerman, Billy from ZZ Top, and Sally Kirkland.





Literally across the street from the official GRAMMY Gifting Lounge, 98.7 KIIS FM also showed its love and respect during rehearsal break to young emerging talent inside the ESPN Zone! at L.A. Live/The Staples Center.


Their feet rested easy but still looked cute with comfy but cute JellyPop pumps and flats...


Actress Jazzlyn Marae fell in love with all the styles saying “These shoes are all so adorable – I love them all!”


Haley Reinhart of American Idol stopped by the table and was eager to see what Jellypop had to offer. She took a couple of styles away with her saying “These are perfect and so cute!”


“I want them all!” said Jessie Malakouti of Jessie and the Boy Toys when she stopped by the Jellypop table


Performers aren't ready unless they have accessories, bling to dazzle onstage.


Joe King from The Fray snagged two of the Guy & Eva Jane necklaces stating “I love these for my daughters!”


Claudia Lee from the CW’s Hart of Dixie commented on how much she enjoyed the “the simple elegance of the line.”


Heather Dubrow from the Real Housewives of Orange County immediately flew to the table! She loved the necklaces and said the “line is absolutely beautiful and affordable!”


This is the ultimate wrap-up of the GRAMMYs Beauty/Style/Gifting suites and lounges, which were fitting, considering they were just in time for Valentine's Day.


They sure know how to take care of the ladies...and gents.
