VAIO Teams Up with Sephora for Times Square Grand Opening

author posted 8/5/2009

The intense humidity and sweltering heat didn't put a damper on the Lauren Luke Makeup Challenge at the Sephora Times Square grand opening on Friday.  The challenge consisted of 14 contestants competing to win a VAIO P and a night on the town with YouTube makeup sensation Lauren Luke.  The challenge?  Recreate an original Lauren Luke look on themselves showcased on a VAIO CS Series notebook in under 15 minutes.  Multi-colored VAIOs were set up at each makeup station complete with earbuds so contestants could follow along as they listened and watched Lauren's technique.

I spoke to a number of contestants during the challenge and all were extremely excited at the prospect of winning their own VAIO.  And the winner?  Well, she started to cry with joy but quickly composed herself once she realized her makeup would run!

Check out photos and the video of the challenge.
