Pür Minerals took the Windy City by storm this weekend, teaming up with London’s premier fashion brand (and Kate Middleton fave), L.K. Bennett, at Chicago’s 2012 Spring Fling Event. More than 200 of the city’s fashion elite celebrated spring in high style, enjoying custom Pür makeovers and “Cherry Noir” manicures by Mario Tricoi (a stylish nod to Grey Goose, whose Cherry Noir vodka made its debut). Hosted by Graham Kostic of Glossed and Found, the event featured stunning images from Pür’s latest photo collaboration with L.K. Bennett, plus guest goodies like our On the Go Eye Trio and the U.K. brand’s spring/summer look book.

Reaching Out to the Community

We at Pür are big on giving back. From supporting the American Heart Association’s Go Red For Women® movement to volunteering locally, we’re committed to making our community a better place. This weekend, our very own Ela G. took to the streets of Atlanta. As a volunteer with Seven Bridges to Recovery, Ela visited some of the city’s most poverty-stricken areas, where she brought meals and spiritual support to those in need. From all of us here at Pür: we’re proud of you, Ela!
