The Neiman Marcus Fall Book arrived today; inside the almost 300 pages of fabulous fall fashion is my goldmine: The Beauty Book. I generally take The Book and find a quiet corner, where I can thoughtfully contemplate (and drool over) the offerings.
The Book lists Fall's Magnificent Seven Fashion Trends; I've decided to add my own spin on that and give you my Magnificent Seven Beauty Offerings:
- The newest organic scent from L'Artisan Parfumeur, L'Eau de Jatamansi, is a blend of grapefuit, cardamom, clary sage, rose, incense and the restorative properties of the namesake Himalayan plant. I'm dying to try this one.
- AMOREPACIFIC Time Response Skin Renewal Foundation. I love the Time Response line; this rejuvenating treatment foundation with antioxidants and SPF 18 sounds lovely.
- Clinique R+ De-Aging Cream, a new moisturizer containing retinol and Clinique CX Antioxidant Rescue Serum. Serious skin care; just what you'd expect from Clinique.
- Estee Lauder Re-Nutriv Ultimate Youth Creme and Eye Creme. Packed with ingredients like red and brown algae, South Sea Pearls and an ingredient called "The Youth Molecule". Yes, please.
- Chanel Les 4 Ombres Quadra Eye Shadow in Smoky Eye. Shades of grey, silver, charcoal and white. Must. Have.
- Yves Saint Laurent Le Smoking makeup collection (pictured). The bold lip: Rouge Pur Shine in Tuxedo Pink; Tuxedo Gray La Laque Nail Polish. The palettes, Black Tuxedo for eyes and Silky Nude for face are stunning.
- David Yurman Eau de Parfum; so far there hasn't been anything of David Yurman's jewelry collections that I haven't loved (much to my husband's dismay); why should his fragrance be any different?
The dates for the much-anticipated Neiman Marcus Beauty Event are September 5-14. When you purchase $100 or more in cosmetics or fragrance, receive a stylish tote containing eight beauty treats. Mark your calendar--this is a can't miss! Do you love fall makeup as much as I do? What are your must-haves?
