This past Saturday I had an awesome opportunity to attend the Nordstrom Beauty Trend show with my bestie Miss Sharon. Other than the fact that I had to wake up at 5:30 to be there at 8am, it was pretty awesome. We walked in and we got a.. you guessed it CORAL tote, not like a lame one, but a pretty legit one. They also handed us a $15 dollar gift card.. pretty nice (however, note to self: tickets were $15 and it was supposed to be a ticket reimbursement, however they never checked your tickets, so if you want to go this fall, don't buy a ticket ;) ), also the tote was full of coupons for a bagillion samples. Anyways, we went up and watched a 'fashion show' for make up and anyone who knows me, knows I was RIGHT at home. It was pretty awesome hearing about all the new products, and of course the new seasons color CORAL.. Everything was CORAL, the background, the MC's top, the lights, the models lips.. I mean you name it, it was CORAL.
After the show- which ended at 9, we went down to the cosmetics area where there was Make up FOR DAYZ.. I mean, it was like black friday in the Nordstrom Cosmetics department. Bows were being thrown, insanity. Each Fragrance, and Cosmetic line had multiple stations to showcase their newest products, giving away free samples- there are some maaaajor suckers for samples out there, and all the ladies getting there faces did. Sharon and I happened to be one of them. We went to NARS, because well according to me, they are the best. I found out they are sisters with Shiseido, which I also freakin love. It's a super popular skincare line within the Asian community, and I'm 99% certain that is why they don't age.
I ended up running into a girl I went to college with who now works for NARS. She, btw, did Sharon's makeup and did a phenomenal job, and if you EVER need wedding makeup, prom, whatever, I'd hit her up (Kelly Peterson- find her on my FB page). Hope she doesn't mind I'm plugging her :/
Along with the copious amount of samples I accrued, I picked up some pretty major new items to add to my make up bag that I would suggest any gal looking to spruce up there face add.
Item 1- This is the tinted moisturizer and since I'm ghost white, my color is Alaska. I've never tried a tinted moisturizer before, but I heard that NARS' is the holy grail of TM. Also, there is an SPF 30 in this, which is unheard of.

Item 2- Being eye shadow obsessed, I'm glad they come in duo's.. I only purchased 1 this time, but being that I'm so in love with the one I already had, thought I'd share.

Item 3- The multiple. This epic little wonder works for your eyes, lips & cheeks.. I'm so excited to use this for that summer glow on my cheeks!!

| Color: Copacabana |
Item 4- If I was trapped on a deserted island and I could only bring 1 makeup item I was allowed to take, hands down it would be a stick of Red Lipstick.. I am obsessed with anything lip- 9 x out of 10, the brighter the better. Adding this little gem over your fav red lip color or by its self is amaze-balls

| Color: Super Orgasm |

Also, the dude checking me out, threw in this pretty outrageous eyeliner (for those with bad eyes, its electric blue), but I'm not gonna lie, I'm kind of excited to try it.

Well, I have to get ready to watch the Real Housewives of New Jersey premier, so hope you enjoyed my little Spring premier of makeup must-have's. And FYI, I am wearing Tiger Blood (AKA Coral) Gelish Shellac polish.. Thanks Kelly ;)
Happy New Jersey Premier and thats all.
