"Real Woman" Benefit Cosmetics

Nick Verres and Oscar Garcia-Lopez--Episode 11 "The Benefit of Fashion" Challenge "Project Runway: Under The Gunn"

In this past week's episode of Lifetime's "Project Runway: Under The Gunn", it was the "Real Woman" Benefit Cosmetics Challenge. You can read my "Nick's Take"/Inside Dish on the episode HERE --yes, Oscar should have won and Tim Gunn is "trippin" (for a lack of a better word) in RE: to saying I was there Creative Director and that I FORCED the "Pageant Gown" on Dani Vierra, Oscar's client...but that's neither here nor there. This post is about my "Mentor Style":

Burlesque Purple: For the "Challenge Announcement", I wore one of my favorite purple suits--it's a purple colored sateen Topman suit with black satin shawl collar lapels. I wore it with my skinny black tie from Topman and my teal velvet "slippers" shoes from H & M.

The following day--for Runway--I wore my "midnight blue" shawl-collared tuxedo suit from H & M, my skinny pink tie from Calvin Klein and polka dotted Brooks Brothers pocket scarf. I also wore a pearl tie pin that was a gift from my Dad.

Midnight Blue...and PINK: Since by now, I knew that it was a "Benefit Cosmetics" Challenge, I realized the brand was "big" on the pink color...therefore I purposely wore my bright pink tie and pocket hankie. Those were my "wink-wink's" to Benefit in regards to how much I LOVED their cosmetics!

Nick-Mondo--During some "Project Runway: Under The Gunn" filming down-time, I had the chance to pose with my fellow mentor, Mondo Guerra in the fabulous Benefit Cosmetics "Pretty Room".
