As Los Angeles buzzed with the energy of Oscars Week, one of the most sought-after experiences unfolded away from the red carpet—an intimate, invitation-only gifting lounge that placed beauty, wellness, and community at the center of the celebration. Hosted by Luxury Experience & Co in partnership with Thirteen Lune, the exclusive event brought together celebrities, tastemakers, and media insiders for a curated experience that reflected a growing shift toward intentional self-care in Hollywood.
Set against the backdrop of the city’s most glamorous week, the lounge offered more than just luxury—it created a space where emerging and established brands could connect with influential voices while celebrating diversity and innovation in beauty and wellness.
A Curated Experience Rooted in Beauty and Community
From the moment guests stepped inside, the tone was set for a refined yet welcoming experience. The lounge blended elegance with purpose, highlighting brands that not only focus on results but also represent diverse founders and inclusive storytelling.
The collaboration between Luxury Experience & Co and Thirteen Lune brought together two forces known for elevating brands within the entertainment and lifestyle space. Together, they created an environment where guests could discover thoughtfully curated products while engaging in conversations around wellness, representation, and modern beauty standards.
Melissa McAvoy, Founder of Luxury Experience & Co, described the partnership as a meaningful alignment, emphasizing the importance of celebrating health and wellness in such a dynamic setting in the heart of Los Angeles.
Spotlight on Emerging and Established Brands
At the core of the gifting lounge was a carefully selected lineup of brands spanning skincare, lifestyle, and wellness.
Guests explored offerings from Nongshim USA, alongside beauty and lifestyle brands such as Seraphim, Still Standing, Dermovia Skincare, Nippies, Sequel, and Miss Mouth’s. Home and lifestyle elements were also represented through Beckham Hotel Collection, while Salt.xo added a contemporary wellness touch to the mix.
Each brand contributed to a larger narrative—one that reflects the evolving landscape of beauty, where inclusivity, functionality, and storytelling are just as important as luxury itself.
A Guest List Reflecting Hollywood’s Diverse Creative Landscape

Among those in attendance were Broadway performer Joanna Jones, Blue Moon star Jonah Lees, and Adrian Dev of HBO’s Westworld. The lounge also welcomed author and TED speaker Antina Campbell, singer and award-winning actor Erin Gavin, and Paris-based fashion designer Melissa Pellone.
Television personalities and actors including Michelle Bernard (911), Ashley Rios (Cross), Christopher Matthew Cook (All The Sinners), and Chyler Emery (The Musical) added to the vibrant mix, alongside Vic Brew, Adam Rank, Rich Ting, and Robyn Lively.
