Mantra in Midtown hosted New York's editorial fashionistas and beauty gurus as they gathered to socialize and watch celebrity make-up artist Chase Aston work his magic. After a great night, guests walked away with a sampling of the Body Shop's newest products, and a lucky few enjoyed impromptu makeovers. Of course, the complimentary cocktails helped put the finishing touches on some of us.
