Event Coverage (Affiliate Links)

I love Nordstrom, and their Beauty Trend Event is one of my favorite beauty events in which to partake. When Nordstrom PR contacted me to cover this noteworthy event at their Westside Pavilion location in Los Angeles I was thrilled. This is one of my favorite Nordstrom locations, and they certainly did an amazing job rolling out the red carpet for their guests at this fabulous event. The Trend Event is the perfect time to be introduced to cutting edge skincare and on-trend makeup. It's the perfect time and place to refresh your routine, and to learn so many tips from the experts.

MAKEOVERS:

MAC had a makeover station near the escalator that never had an empty seat

One of the first things that you will notice at the Beauty Trend Event is that there is a wonderful energy in the air, and everybody has so much fun.

Clients are treated to makeovers and facials from award winning Makeup Artists and Estheticians, and not only do they have a wonderful time, but they are also taught all sorts of beauty industry tips.

Furthermore, clients also are educated on how to apply the hottest trend-setting beauty products straight from the runway.

 Nordstrom carefully selects Makeup Artists who are among the very finest in the industry.

 The aisles were filled with makeover stations.

Simply go to the counter of your favorite brand and you will find their highly trained Makeup Artist's waiting to treat you to an amazing makeover. Additionally, most of the counters have amazing Gifts with Purchase during the event-- so it's the perfect time to purchase what you need or want. The Makeup Artists also give you a customized face chart that shows you precisely what they used on you, and how they applied it. This is very helpful in aiding you in recreating the look at home.

 Kristi is an amazing Makeup Artist, and a Beauty Stylist at the Westside Pavilion location.

The aisles were packed!

FACIALS:

Many of the skincare lines were offering clients wonderful facials during the Trend Event!

Arcona, an amazing natural skincare line, recently became available at the Westside Pavilion location!

 Leah from Arcona is using her expertise as an Esthetician to help a client choose her products.

The beautiful faces of Arcona! Sheila and Leah both have amazing skin, and healthy vibrant skin is precisely what Arcona products deliver.

Sheila introduced me to a few new Arcona products, and the Brightening Gommage Exfoliator really caught my attention! According to Arcona it is a,

Two-in-one brightening gommage synergistically promotes deep exfoliation while visibly improving skin’s balance, tone and clarity. Reduce the appearance of uneven pigmentation and scarring with ascorbic acid and skin-lightening daisy extract. Exfoliate and purify skin with naturally occurring diatomite, jojoba beads and zeolite. Helps protect skin with antioxidant-rich cranberry and blueberry extracts. Leaves skin toned, vibrant and more luminous.

 The highly coveted Kate Somerville DermalQuench Oxygen Treatment in progress:

Jesse, who is a truly amazing Kate Somerville Esthetician, giving a client the Kate Somerville DermalQuench Oxygen Treatment.

After Jesse finished with her client she gave me a facial, and what an amazing experience it was!

Kate Somerville created the DermalQuench Oxygen Treatment,

For unparalleled hydration and that signature glow, DermalQuench is a Kate Somerville favorite. The skin is drenched in a hyaluronic serum and vitamins. Oxygen is then applied as the serum soaks into cells, for further hydration, healing and conditioning. Watch dryness and fine lines disappear, and discover a softer, supple complexion.

The results of this treatment are truly astounding, and I highly recommend getting this amazing treatment. A small size pen-like device that is connected to a oxygen machine, as you can see in the photograph above, delivers a combination of oxygen infused with serums that penetrate deeply into the skin. It hydrates and plumps the skin leaving a glowing healthy and quenched complexion like nothing else you have ever seen. It's no wonder that this is a favorite among Kate Somerville's long list of celebrity clients.

 These are all of the Kate Somerville products that Jesse used on my skin! I want them all!

I caught up with Justin, from Perricone MD, when he had a free moment to discuss the fantastic skincare line.

I can't begin to stress the difference that I saw in the quality and clarity of my skin when I began using my Clarisonic-- it's definitely best-in-class!

 The Clarisonic demonstration station!

Philosophy utilizes the Reveal Imager Skin Analysis tool to take pictures of your skin in order to reveal surface and subsurface pigmentation and damage. Afterward a Philosophy skincare specialist assists you in selecting the appropriate products to treat damaged skin and fade hyperpigmentation

The wonderful world of Kiehl's

The Kiehl's Gifts with Purchase are amazing at The Beauty Trend Event!

The Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Bar (At the following Nordstrom locations). The client is having her brows shaped.

Anastasia has created a shop away from home inside Nordstrom. She says, 'I wanted to create the ambiance of my salon inside the Nordstrom cosmetics department. I realize that time is of the essence for the savvy Nordstrom shopper, and that is why we created a Brow Studio to suit their needs.'

Each Brow Studio expert is trained to the highest Anastasia standards of brow excellence and is eager to create the perfect brow arch using the Anastasia method. In the studio you may enjoy perfect brow arching, brow reshaping and sculpting, and facial waxing.

The Mini Must-Haves feature travel-friendly products, but they are also the perfect way to try a variety of things before committing to the full size versions.

The Deborah Lippmann Nail Bar is the ultimate place to find a fabulous polish for every occasion.

The Lancôme counter was very busy all day long, and their Gifts with Purchase were literally flying off  of the shelves!

Look at all of the sparkling jewel-tones!

Lancôme's NEW 'Grandiôse' Wide-Angle Fan Effect Mascara is one of the most discussed mascara break-throughs.

Lancome's revolutionary new mascara is the first to focus on all three aspects of application—wand, brush and formula—to achieve a dramatic, fanned effect. The cutting-edge, patented swan-neck wand is expertly curved to work with the natural contours of the face, allowing you to reach every lash, from corner to corner, root to tip. Combined with a smartly designed, flower-shaped elastomer brush, the creamy, quick-drying formula evenly coats even the smallest lashes. Rose-cell extract fortifies and conditions so lashes stay soft and supple. Deep black pigments make maximum impact, creating lush, full fringe and an intense, wide-eyed look.
