Going to parties after my day job makes me realize that I’m getting old…lol. But I dusted my dentures off, oiled my joints, and saddled on down to Manhattan last night to attend the Vibe Luster’s Smooth Touch Party in celebration of singer Letoya Luckett’s debut as their hot new spokesmodel. How cool is that?
Luster Products Inc, a black-owned and operated hair company that has been in business for over 50 years, launched the Smooth Touch line of products geared to meet the needs of younger, style conscious women who want healthy, head-turning styles (sounds like us!) and tapped Ms. Luckett as the brand’s face.
The line includes products formulated for relaxed and natural hair and include:
Smooth Touch Go Glitz Olive Oil Sheen Spray
Smooth Touch Hydration Vibe Olive Oil Hair Lotion
Smooth Touch A Reason to Gloss Shine Polish
and for those who relax, Smooth Touch New Growth Relaxer Kit with Triple Strength Olive Oil Conditioner
Find out more about the products here.
So after checking-in I electric slided into the main room and caught a glimpse of both Letoya Luckett and actress Keshia Knight Pulliam looking head to toe GORGEOUS!
Let’s just say photography isn’t in the cards for me…lol.
Both ladies were super sweet. Letoya is very humbled and excited to be the face of Luster’s. Her pic is on the relaxer box :)
And I also decided to channel my inner-Claire and snap some Real Style pics. Now, I’m not as smooth as Claire is with this so I missed a few names. If you’re pictured and you’re reading please let me know who you are…lol.
I loved this girl’s pretty-in-pink one-shoulder dress and how she contrasted it with the black belt and shoes. Her name is Jewel Danielle and she has an accessories line coming out so I’ll have more info on that soon.
This fly guy is Aldin Morgan and he’s on Jewel Danielle’s accessories line team. I love his fitted jacket paired with jeans and accessorized with those fly shoes, newsboy cap, and Louis Vuitton messenger bag.
Next up, this foxy lady’s jumpsuit and straw hat were too cute to pass up. I love her arm candy, too.
This cutie’s classic navy blue wrap dress caught my eye. Love how she paired it with the tan belt and shoes. Cute smile to match.
I fell in love with this statuesque beauty’s chic white shorts, jacket, and lovely pearl bracelet.
And last but not least these two gentleman came through in some sharp jackets paired with jeans looking too smooth.
Well that wraps up the event!
How did I do on my first go of capturing Real Style? (BTW, nobody has on yellow contacts–that’s the flash…lol)
Will you be checking out the Smooth Touch products?

Very Nice. I am not a fan of Luster’s hair products because of that pink hair moisturizer that leaves your hair feeling greasy and weighed down.

Danielle, what about a picture of you? ;)
I love LeToya. That second pic of her looks like one of those high school senior class pictures…you know the one you take with the feathers wrapped around you. Lol.

@ Michelle I got a pic with Letoya but it came out so dark you can’t tell who’s in it…lol. I put up a pic of me and Keshia on my Twitter (@stylenbeautydoc) though. I look like Godzilla compared to her tiny self in it…lol. I usually don’t do well in pics because I always have some stupid look on my face or something. I need to go through the Tyra school of photo-taking…lol.
LMAO @ senior pic with feathers wrapped around you!

:) Smiling @Danielle. Ok, that officially convinced me to get a twitter account. I guess I’m coming in uber late like Kanye. Thanks! Always love your articles!

Danielle, I loved your article. Couldn’t stop until the end. You had my undivided attention. Keep up the good works. You are fantastic!!!

Michelle—you MUST join Twitter—there’s all kinds of random mess on there and depending on who you follow the jokes never end…lol.
@Claudette Gray—haha–thanks, mom ;)

loved what you chose to highlight, i’m sure you already know now asking ppl to move to the light to take the pic would be best. Closeups of details like accessories would be appreciated but I do like the outfits you chose to highlight. I’m sure you will only get better :) Keep doin what you do!

@Bonifant thanks! I actually didn’t know about moving into the light…lol. I also need to have my regular camera on me (these were taken with my blackberry). I usual leave my cam home when I go out because it usually doesn’t fit in whatever little bag I carry when I go out and I don’t like holding stuff…lol.
Will definitely remember to get close-ups of accessories, too :) thanks!!!
