Holiday Beauty Gift Guide- Beauty for Twi-hards:

With New Moon coming out today (insert collective squeal here), the time has come for me to fess up to being a Twi-hard... yes, I admit to it. I have read all the books, watched the movie a few times, and have imagined myself as Bella more times than I would care to admit. Oh, and Team Edward all the way.

Anywho, I introduced all of you to the Twilight Volturi and Luna makeup collections not too long ago. Happily, the Twilight Luna line is now available at Nordstrom. 

Feast your eyes on some of these gorgeous pieces, perfect for indulging your inner teeny bopper, or for gifting the Twilight lover in your life.

CALLING ALL TEENS AND MOMS: PUT YOUR BEST FACE FORWARD WITH PHILOSOPHY’S “SUPERNATURAL SATURDAYS” MAKEUP SCHOOL AT NORDSTROM STORES IN SANTA ANA, CHICAGO AND ARLINGTON

Philosophy Hosts Series of Makeover Events To Help Mothers & Daughters Look their Most Beautiful this Fall

Philosophy’s new supernatural collection boasts healthy new makeup options that are derived from nature. Minerals, plants, fruit extracts, vitamins and antioxidants to hydrate, improve and protect. Just as important as what’s in the products is what they’re free of – parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, talc, sulfates, propylene glycol, pegs and fragrance.

Anyone who receives a makeup application will be able to create their own supernatural video in a customized supernatural video booth and email it to five of their closest friends or family members. In addition, receive a FREE 4oz award winning Purity Made Simple cleanser with the purchase of any two supernatural philosophy products, and a FREE “be supernatural” philosophy cosmetic bag with any $100 philosophy purchase.

AND – if you can’t make it to one of the three supernatural Saturday events, visit your local Nordstrom counter to enter for a chance to win a private supernatural makeup party with five friends at the Nordstrom store in your neighborhood, which includes a private skincare and makeup consultation, personalized makeup tips and custom makeup applications for the group. Consumers can enter from October 1st – 17th, and four winners from each of Nordstrom’s 112 stores will be chosen on October 31st, the final Saturday of the month.

If you are lucky enough to be in those areas, I highly recommend that you check it out. If you do, send me pics and tell me all about it. :)

Nordstrom Annual Beauty Event

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. I'm not talking about the holiday season, or even my birthday. It is actually time for Nordstrom’s annual sale and beauty event. Here is what has caught my eye:

Nars Modern Love Palette: This one is actually available online at narscosmetics.com, but you can also preorder this via the Nordstrom website. I absolutely ADORE my Nars holiday shadow palette, so I know this one must come home with me as well. Colors included are Alhambra I, Tokyo I, Jezebel II, India Song II, Habanera II, and Pandora II

View it here

Dior Jazz Club Eye Palette: Housed in a sleek little compact, this palette looks like it has the eyes covered with everything from a brow shade to a duo-chromatic topcoat. I especially love the smoky, sultry feel to the shades housed within this hot little number.

Phyto Dry Hair Collection: It is no secret that the curly mess on top of my head is also a very dry/frizzy mess at times. I have used Phyto before and loved how moisturizing it was and how it made my hair feel like silk. The value and combination of products in this kit is phenomenal, and I just might take this one home with me.

These items are the standouts for me, and the main items that I am thinking of purchasing. Be sure to stop by the Nordstrom site and pre-order all the goodies that you are wanting, and don’t forget to tell me in the comments what has caught your eye!
