Luichiny Shoe Review and Event

Hello Makeup Junkies! 


I hope you all are having a wonderful week. Life has gotten pretty crazy for me now that school has started. This is a very exciting year, though, because I will (finally) be graduating in the fall. Woohoo!!! :D


Now that I've thoroughly veered off course, let's get back to the review. As I mentioned in my previous post, I went to Las Vegas recently. While I was there, one of the largest fashion trade shows, MAGIC, happened to be taking place. 


Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to go to the trade show, but I DID get to work with a wonderful company and attend one of its events!

Here is how Luichiny describes itself: 

Visit Luichiny here.

A quick picture in the room (we stayed at the Palazzo) before heading out to the Luichiny event at Aria Hotel, Las Vegas.

The Luichiny guests had their own private section of the lounge. V.I.P., baby!!! :)

Each of the tables had a clear case on top. Inside, the new Luichiny line was on display for everyone to enjoy. It was so fun to admire the shoes while relaxing and enjoying a drink.

I am absolutely loving the new line! The colors are bold and there were a lot of chunky heels, which is very "in" this season. (I wish I had gotten a picture of the pink and teal shoes above. They were super cute!!!).

Also at the event were The Cope Twins, Amber and Angela! I got a chance to meet with them briefly. They are both SO SWEET... and not to mention GORGEOUS! In case you are not familiar with them, they are a couple of hot, Nascar drivers who l-o-v-e Luichiny, too.;)

Learn more about the Cope Twins here.

This was the featured drink of the night: the Luichiny Martini. It has such a nice ring to it, right?!! The Deuce should add that one to the menu. It was a light, fruity cocktail with what tasted like hints of champagne, cranberry and lime. (I'm no food-ie, so I could be completely off on those ingredients lol). Bottom line: It was yummy.

I made some new friends. :) These eye-catching ladies are also bloggers! They had the most original outfits at the party.


Sorry to Heather for her head getting cut off in the picture. My boyfriend, a.k.a. my photographer for the night, said it was hard to see. 

Of course, I had to get my very own signed picture of Amber and Angela. I plan to get it framed and hang it up somewhere; it'll be a fun reminder of the event.


THE REVIEW:

Where to begin, is the question. There are so many good things to say about the brand! 


First, I want to comment on how nice everyone on the Luichiny team is. It is clear from the event that they have a genuine appreciation for their fans and retailers. 


Second, the Luichiny PR team is amazing! Ashley, in particular, has been very helpful and accommodating. Of all the companies I have had a chance to work with, this has been the most pleasant. 


Lastly, I love the global appeal of Luichiny. Their website had this to say: 

"Our designers travel to Europe, South America and Asia to uncover the latest fashion trends. We are always testing new European styles in our upscale boutiques in New York to find the hottest, freshest footwear fashion for you. "

How awesome is that!?!!

  

The "Bow Tie" Shoe

What I LOVE about the "Bow Tie" shoe:

• Extremely comfortable. Usually, I have to add cushioned insoles to all my heels. I forgot to bring some with me on my trip to Vegas. I went straight to the event after landing, so I had no time to stop at a store. After walking around all night, my feet felt fine. I am truly amazed at how comfortable the shoes are... even with a 5-inch heel!
• Colorful. I got many comments walking around Vegas in my Luichiny shoes. The colors were very bright and I love the color blocking. (This allowed me to go with a simple black dress and fun accessories).
• Platform. The shoe has a 1-inch platform. Personally, I love a good platform. It allows you to wear a higher heel without your feet suffering the consequences. 
• Texture. The upper part of the shoe is made with Imi-leather. The entire shoe has this great snake-skin texture to it. This adds dimension and flair to the shoe, as opposed to having it smooth. 
• Anti-slip pad. At the bottom of the platform there is a red heart. This heart seemed to keep my feet from slipping when I was walking on smooth services, like marble inside the casinos or a wet dance floor. Typically, I have to buy a separate non-slip pad to adhere to the bottom of my shoes. It's nice that Luichiny shoes come with that feature.
