Nordstrom Cosmetics Trend Show Spring 2010

This is the cov­er­age for the one in Seattle. Each loca­tion will be slightly different. 

The theme for this sea­son is “Escape to Beauty”. MC and DJ both dressed in casual vaca­tion clothes. The whole show is divided into 3 scenes. We have a good crowd, and the show was a good one too, so there were tons of cheer­ing and whistling. Here are some pic­tures for those of you who didn’t make it.

Guerlain brought the New Terracotta 4 Seasons Spray Bronzer and this happy girl was picked to try it. Look at how happy she is when she know she can bring that bot­tle home! The other 2 prod­ucts Guerlain unveiled for us are the Le 2 de Guerlain Volumizing Mascara, which is 2 sided, wax free, and hence flake free, and per­fect for both upper and lower lashes, and the Rouge G Lipstick. The lip­stick has crushed ruby and mother of pearl in it and made with primer so it would be a long last­ing wear!

Smashbox shared with the audi­ence a few bot­tles of Halo Bronzer that isn’t avali­able in store until next month (April)!

YSL demon­strated the Volume Effet Faux Cils Noir Radical, which gives the illu­sion of 8 hours of sleep

Finally, CHANEL showed us the body art neck­lace, Trish McEvoy the “Must Have Collections — All About Eyes”, and Dior Creme de Rose lip balm.

Dior also showed us the “Capture Totale One Essential”, which helps to detox­ify skin cells to pow­er­fully cor­rect all vis­i­ble signs of aging and renew skin’s youth­ful appear­ance. Again, it gives your skin sleep and relax­ation that it needed. If you stop by Nordstrom, don’t for­get to try that Creme de Rose Lip Balm. It’s full of shea but­ter and other good­ies and keep your lip soft and moisturize.

Dior’s Spring 2010 Makeup Collection

For Dior fans, this year’s spring makeup styles are sexy and sul­try with flashes of the 1920s. In January, Dior unveiled its 2010 “Lacy Beauty” spring makeup col­lec­tion, which was inspired by the famed fash­ion house’s love of lace and the pretty pas­tels that are pop­ping up on run­ways all over the world.

Here’s a sam­pling of some of the prod­ucts we’d love to try:

Megan Fox’s Magazine Cover Looks with Dior

megan_fox_covers

Someone is on a roll recently! Not only does Megan Fox has a hot hot hot (french kiss­ing with Amanda Seyfried?) movie Jennifer’s Body com­ing out, she has also graced the cov­ers of mul­ti­ple mag­a­zines — Cosmo, GQ, and Rolling Stone.

For those of you who might not know about this, Megan Fox’s look is actu­ally adored by Christian Dior and she fre­quently uses Christian Dior prod­ucts for her sexy looks on the red car­pet. Becky Watkins, a exec­u­tive prod­uct edu­ca­tor for Christian Dior and also a beauty adviser for MyShimmer, actu­ally works with Megan Fox’s makeup artist! So here we are going to review some Christian Dior prod­ucts to get Megan Fox’s  Cosmopolitan looks:

Christian Dior DiorShow Black Out Mascara

The DiorShow Black Out Mascara offers great value with its length­en­ing and volu­miz­ing for­mula for a great fin­ish with a dra­matic, run­way smokey eye. It is very rich and creamy, which pre­vents it from clump­ing all over your eye­lashes. The “Black Out” dra­matic color is also one of the best choices out there for defin­ing your eye­lashes the Megan Fox way.

Application tip: be care­ful with the amount of mas­cara you apply each time — the creamy for­mula might make it easy to smudge for the first cou­ple of times when you start try­ing out the prod­uct. Practice often to get the right amount with the right angle.

Christian Dior Dior Addict Ultra Gloss Reflect

You’ve got to love the Dior Addict Ultra Gloss Reflect — it is a “high-tech” lip gloss with shim­mer­ing, multi-dimensional reflec­tive pig­ments that deliver shine and color that last for hours. Truly one of its kind!The light pink that Megan Fox is wear­ing in Cosmopolitan looks lux­u­ri­ous with­out being over­bear­ing, and even the dark bur­dundy col­ors look classy with­out mak­ing you look too old. The mois­tur­iz­ing for­mula in the Dior Addict Ultra Gloss Reflect is non-sticky, and it keeps your lips hydrated and help them look fuller.

Christian Dior DiorShow Powder

Forget about the dark “warmth” col­ors — Megan Fox looks vigrant and youth­ful with the slightly shim­mery DiorShow Powder. Don’t let the bright Barbie pink fool you — the DiorShow Powder has a nat­ural lumi­nous sheen that works well as a glit­ter­ing pow­der for your face, neck, and shoul­ders, or, sim­ply, as a blush.

The appli­ca­tor is feather-soft and the pow­der extremely easy to apply — one of our favorite fea­tures about the DiorShow Powder.

Editor’s Interview of Dior Expert

Dior Ad

I spoke to skin­care expert Becky Watkins, edu­ca­tor for Dior prod­ucts and newest advi­sor on the Shimmer Beauty Advisory Board.   She has a wealth of expe­ri­ence in the beauty indus­try and has the best job ever (besides mine, inter­view­ing her)!  She trav­els the world edu­cat­ing skin­care spe­cial­ists at Sephora and depart­ment stores about all Christian Dior prod­ucts.   She brings the lat­est in skin­care, beauty and inno­v­a­tive prod­ucts to con­sumers.   Her  under­stand­ing of the ingre­di­ents, tech­nol­ogy behind the prod­ucts and prac­ti­cal usage of prod­ucts is amaz­ing.   It is refresh­ing to get an hon­est per­spec­tive from a beauty insider.
