Nordstrom Beauty Trend Show Re-cap

2 Comments

A few weeks ago, you may recall that I posted about how I was invited by Nordstrom’s Beauty Social Media Specialist to Nordstrom’s Beauty Trendshow in Coral Gables, Florida. Nordstrom puts on these amazing fashion/beauty trend shows all over the country throughout the year, to debut over 20 cosmetics brands and trends, where models walk the runway in amazing outfits and makeup, while brand creators, representatives, and national makeup artists excitedly tell all of the guests about their newest products and techniques. The entire event is high every, as all of the brand representatives and the amazing host, Nordstrom’s Beauty Director Karen DeLauro are so enthusiastic about all of the products.So…I rolled my cute butt out of bed at 5:00am (yes..5!) to ensure that I got there at 7:00am, which is when the pre-show Red Carpet VIP party started. (They hold the Trend Show before the store opens to the public.) Luckily,…

Lovin’ Lips and Lashes!

2 Comments

As a BzzAgent, from time to time I am sent products that make sense for me and my lifestyle, interests, and habits, so I was recently sent some great new Maybelline products to try out and share my opinion on.I received their new mascara “Great Lash Lots of Lashes” – a new version of their infamous Great Lash mascara. The interesting part about this mascara is definitely the brush! It’s a “heart-shaped” molded brush that they call the “Great Little Grabber”. It was created to get to each and every lash with precision for lots of volume from corner to corner. You can build volume with each coat while helping to avoid clumps. I think this mascara was great to define lashes and add length, and the small precise tup definitely helps get individual lashes, corners, and bottom lashes.Next up are their new Baby Lips Lip Balms. I received five…

Aveeno Eczema Therapy Cream – Even for Those Without Eczema!

No Comments

While I don’t suffer from Eczema (a common skin irritation that causes patches of itchiness, redness, and other reactions on the skin), once in a while I do get random skin reactions. It could be from touching something that caused a weird reaction with my skin, shaving, or because of dryness, but I think a lot of people get unexplainable skin irritations from time to time.The Aveeno Eczema Therapy Moisturizing Cream actually came in the mail at the perfect time! I do have sensitive skin that does sometimes get small barely non-visible bumps (but I know they are there and they annoy me!) and especially with the change in weather (although it’s still not cold in Florida), and I was actually going to start looking for a powerful skin product to help, so this cream was a godsend. I first applied it before going to bed the very night that…

In honor of the Four Seasons’ National Spa Week, they invited a select group of social media influencers to some of their nationwide resorts to enjoy a spa day! Being based in South Florida, I was invited to the Four Seasons Palm Beach resort to indulge in their Spa and Beach Retreat package. I was advised to choose two spa treatments, which would also include access to their amazing spa facilities, the beach, and lunch at The Ocean Bistro, and they also allowed me to bring a guest to enjoy one treatment and join me for lunch (I chose to bring my mom!) :)The entry to the spa, along with the giant lobby, was gorgeous – with lots of fun products and decor to peruse.We were greeted by Michael, the Spa Director, and were asked to choose one of the four scented oil combinations that would be used four our…

Aveeno Beauty Expert Answers and MORE Giveaways!

3 Comments

I’ve talked about Aveeno’s amazing skin and beauty expert, Dr. Jessica Wu before, and now she is answering some need-to-know beauty questions submitted by you, and fellow Aveeno Ambassadors’ readers!Talking beauty with Dr. Wu:Suggestions for adult acne. “Adult women with acne tend to have drier skin than teens with acne, so traditional acne medications are often too drying and irritating, and make the situation worse. Your best bet is to use a gentle foaming cleanser (like Aveeno Ultra Calming Foaming cleanser) to remove makeup & surface oils, followed by a sulfur-based mask or treatment product (check out Clearasil Adult Treatment Cream, Bare Escentuals Blemish Therapy, or Murad Sulfur mask). Sulfur is antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, without being as drying as benzoyl peroxide. Since adult acne is often hormonal, it’s also a good idea to watch what you eat, especially when you’re PMS’ing: try to avoid dairy, refined carbs (bread, rice, potatoes, pasta) and sugar, which…
