HBO Played Host to the Stars in Honor of 75th Golden Globe Awards

Ancestry presented Four Seasons soiree for nominees and VIPs

It was one big family gathering last week, as Hollywood stars came together to celebrate at the HBO luxury gift lounge in Beverly Hills. From mixing and mingling to sponsor hopping and DNA swapping, guests were enjoying their golden day affair.

Ancestry reps were eager to please, showing off their online portal and helping celebrities build their family trees. Whether you’re interested in learning more about your ethnic mix or finding long lost relatives from across the globe, stepping back in time was just a few clicks away.

Watch Gang was front and center with their stylish collection of timepieces from around the world. And this isn’t your ordinary watch company. This “gang” is your ticket to monthly watches delivered right to your door. It’s a surprise in a box! You don’t know what you’ll receive, but rest assured each watch is premium Japanese or Swiss movements, mineral crystal or sapphire glass, leather or high-quality stainless steel, and all verified authentic. And if that’s not enough, the company gives away a TAG and Rolex to two lucky members every week! What’s not to love?

Gendarmerie showed off their new moisturizing body wash, available at their West Hollywood boutique and spa. Their 1700-sq. ft. facility offers complementary refreshments in their indoor/outdoor lounge, as well as an abundance of services including men and women’s cuts, Oxygen Skin Therapy, Gold Collagen Face Masks and Seaweed & Green Tea Body Wraps.

Lucy Hart, licensed esthetician, shared her beauty tips, including microblading and permanent makeup techniques for anyone looking to add some wow to their brows.

Thanks to a food tray, a stoked South African, and a Shark Tank success, Slyde was created, and guests were fired up to receive the lightweight handboard. Weighing just under one pound, the wave-ridder will have you bodysurfing like a pro in no time, and luckily it was small enough to fit in the VIP gift bags!

Bioron folks were on a mission to keep HBO attendees at the top of their game. Guests enjoyed an array of homeopathic care including Jet Lag Relief, Sedalia stress relief quick-dissolving tablets, Quietude for sleeplessness, Optique 1 to refresh and brighten tired eyes, and cold, flu and cough remedies for the winter blues. And in case you’ve come down with an ailment and can’t figure out what to buy, check out their new free mobile app, Boiron Medicine Finder, to match your symptoms with a homeopathic medicine that’s right for you.

Of course, Don Julio premium tequila (made with 100% blue agave) was on hand as well, to relax nervous Golden Globe nominees. Don Julio González was just a teen when he asked a local businessman for a loan, so he could create the world’s first luxury tequila! It wasn’t long after that the first distillery was born. And keeping up with Don’s social graces– and against the tequila norm–he designed a shorter, wider bottle so guests could enjoy each other’s company from across the table without a tall bottle in the way. Try Don Julio on the rocks, or savor the flavor in a Manzanita Mule or Sandia Rocas Watermelon Drink!

For wine connoisseurs, siblings Maria and Marco Castellucci had just the place for guests to escape to! The Ink House (once home to Elvis Presley!) is a world-class luxury destination in Napa Valley, where your adventure begins with an Italian welcome and includes an array of local wineries at your fingertips.

Silk Therapeutics spoiled all with their cruelty-free skincare, including Renewing Peel, Hydra-Rich Advanced Moisturizing Cream, and C Advance Anti-Aging Intensive Serum, and Obliphica professional haircare graced guests with their Seaberry superfruit-infused shampoos, conditioners, masks, serums and sprays.

In addition to Four Seasons’ gourmet treats, guests also enjoyed Pinkberry frozen yogurt with tasty toppings. And for the kiddos who weren’t in attendance, UPPAbaby sent moms and pops home with a car seat or stroller of their choice!
