Getting Your Brows Done in Public: Pretty Good, Actually
My eyebrows were a pair of unruly beasts, and no at-home tweezing could tame them. And unfortunately, my regular brow-maintenance person has raised her prices to a not-so-affordable $50 a pop. So last night, I trekked to Nordstrom to try out the Anastasia Brow Studio in the beauty department.
Nordstrom Lets You Visit Toledo
Ruben Toledo is an illustrator and painter whose work appears in style magazines and art museums alike. He's also one of the fashion world's most celebrated artists (and not just because his wife, Isabel Toledo, is one of Michelle Obama's favorite designers), counting Nordstrom as one of his clients. Last year, he created murals for a set used in the store's advertising; this year, he's bringing his work one step closer to shoppers with this makeup bag.
FYI: Nordstrom and E.L.F. Aren't a Couple
Some of you might have received an email alerting you to a partnership between Nordstrom and Eyes Lip Face cosmetics (E.L.F. for short). The message goes something like this: E.L.F.
Bella Bargain: Free Body & Soul Lip Glow, Nordstrom Treats
I love freebies, and through the end of the month, you can get a pretty good one from Body & Soul. Purchase one face product through Jan. 31, and you'll receive a free, full-size Champagne Lip Glow (a $16.50 value).
Nordstrom's Anniversary Pre-Sale Event is Here
Hey hey everybody! The day has finally come when you can begin placing your orders for Nordstrom's Anniversary Pre-Sale Event! Get excited, because more than 100 beauty brands are featuring exclusive items.
Coming Soon: Bliss Happy "Hand"-iversary Set
I hope you've been enjoying this preview of items from the Nordstrom Anniversary Pre-Sale, which begins on Monday. I love that this Bliss Happy "Hand"-iversary Glamour Gloves and Glamour Glove Gel Set is a really sweet deal. Normally, these items would cost $70 separately, but during this event they cost $52!
Coming Soon: Vera Wang Princess Gift Set
When I saw this Vera Wang Princess Gift Set ($58) that has been created especially for Nordstrom Anniversary Pre-Sale Event I totally flipped. Not only is the 1.7 oz bottle of Eau de Toilette an awesome gift, but the huge lavender rhinestone heart key chain/compact filled with 30 elixir capsules is outer-limits cute!
If I love it, imagine how a teenager would feel about it.
Coming Soon: Metallic Makeup Bags from Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale
We just can't get away from metallics (not that I'm complaining). First we thought it was just a spring trend, but then it carried through to summer and now we see it again for fall. So if you are going to tote around a metallic handbag, why not carry a metallic makeup case as well?
Coming Soon: MAC Novel Twist Collection
Every year, MAC comes out with a really cool limited edition set for the Nordstrom Anniversary Pre-Sale Event. Last year, they made some wicked mini purple makeup brushes, and this time they have created an entire line called MAC Limited Edition Novel Twist Collection. The mini makeup brushes are charcoal gray, and the black boucle cases sport colorful aqua or baby-pink threading.
Coming Soon: Smashbox After Party Beauty and Brush Kits
As promised, here's the first look at some of the new goodies that you can pre-order at Nordstrom's Anniversary Pre-Sale. I fell in love with this nine-piece After Party Beauty Kit ($58) and four-piece After Party Brush Kit ($38). Both provide the perfect amount and combination of cosmetics and mini-brushes for a polished look.
