I was given the privilege of attending a Beauty Event at Neiman Marcus in Boca Raton a couple of weeks ago where I got to hear the inside scoop of the hottest beauty trends for this Spring! Maryann Petrides, the Beauty and Fragrance Selling Manager of the store, gave us a first hand preview of the new product launches for the upcoming season, as well as the must-haves in color, skincare, and fragrance. And now I’m here to share them with you!

Beginning today through March 1st, Neimans is running their Beauty Event, which with purchases of $125+ you will receive an exclusive Eddie Borgo designed tote (available in three colors and makes the perfect lunch or beach bag) filled with beauty samples. Receive a matching wristlet for purchases of $500+. So now is the time to stock up your vanity with some of these amazing products:

La Mer Illuminating Eye Gel: This is THE eye gel to use and I’m dying to finally pull the trigger and treat myself to a bottle! This refreshing eye gel instantly lights up your eyes, making them look energized and awakened. It also helps fight early signs of aging, something that will be helpful for this almost-30-year-old.

La Prairie Cellular Swiss Ice Crystal Dry Oil: This highly recommended oil can be used alone or mixed in with your regular moisturizer, up to twice a day on face and neck (important to not forget to take care of your neck!) after cleansing. Your skin will glow and look smooth as it moisturizes, nurtures, calms, soothes, and protects.

Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation: If you want to treat your skin for a night out with the perfect foundation, this is the one to use!  This award-winning foundation offers a silky, all-day buildable coverage, perfect for every skin tone! FYI, I use number 5.5 and it’s the perfect shade! Tip: Treat yourself to the ultimate brush as well with Kevyn Aucoin’s Foundation Brush, ooh la la!

Tom Ford Beauty Bronzing Powder: The entire Tom Ford beauty line is exclusive to Neiman Marcus, including this gorg bronzer! Available in two colors, Terra and Gold Dust. Apply with a flat brush to contour and be sure to stay below the jawline so you don’t darken your eyes and look muddy.

Diorshow Brow Styler: This wonder product is a universal color for everyone, yes, one color for everyone! With only one color available it will adjust to anyone’s brow color to fill in empty patches to define and shape your brows.

Dior Rosy Glow Blush: Similar to the brow styler, this is a universal shade perfect for everyone! While it may seem too bright for your taste, one swipe of this blush adjusts to your skin to create the look of a naturally flushed cheek. It is also buildable for you to create as subtle or as dramatic of a look that you would like.

Thanks again to Maryann and the amazing folks at Neiman Marcus! I can’t wait for Spring!

Back in October I wrote about AEsthetica Contour Kits and how amazing they are to achieve the art of contouring. Well since then, contouring has become even more popular thanks to celebs like the Kardashians and Britney Spears’s insane Women’s Health magazine cover. Say what you want about Brit Brit, but she looked incredible on the cover! So much so that it had people speculating if she had a nose job or other plastic surgery. Turns out it was just some good contouring!

Also since my blog post (which fully describes the kit and contouring in general), I’ve had many readers and friends wishing they had ordered during the collaboration promo.  Great news, the promotion is back on! Order now through January 31st and receive 50% off your purchase with the promo code LIVELOVELIPSTICK.

This kit truly does make contouring easy enough for anyone to do. Also, watch the step-by-step video here. And don’t forget about makeup brushes; take advantage of the 50% off and treat yourself to AEsthetica’s Contour Brush Set to make contouring that much simpler!

Start the new year off looking your best with AEsthetica!
