Recap: #Summerize Beauty Event

Creeds of Love

On June 25th, I attended the #Summarize beauty event hosted with Schweiger Dermatology at their Clear Clinic location in New York City.

The night kicked off with SkinnyGirl Margarita's newest additions: Sweetarita, Sparkling Margarita, along with their classic Chardonnay. Guests enjoyed complimentary skin consultations by Schweiger Dermatology, dry styling by EVA NYC (easy curls, knotted ponytail or braided bun) and makeup touchups by Nars, and donuts from Doughnut Plant and brownies from Hot Blondie's Bakery.

Monique Olivares explained different ways to protect your skin from the sun (which is strongest from 10am-2pm), and drove home the importance of sunscreen in the fight to protect your skin from aging (takeaway: sunscreen's your best option if you want to keep skin young!). Grace Nguyen shared her insights on popular injectables including Juvaderm and Dysport, and gave us the 411 on the latest laser treatments. Jane MacKinnon also touched on different methods to keep your skin fresh and vibrant, while skin guru Haley Knauer took on the Q and A session.

Nordstrom 2014 Anniversary Sale Beauty Exclusives

The Nordstrom 2014 Anniversary Sale is back! Early access to the sale just started on July 10th for Nordstrom Rewards Members, but will take place on Nordstrom.com and in Nordstrom stores nationwide from July 19th - August 4th (while supplies last). I headed over to The London NYC to get a sneak peek at this year's anniversary sale beauty exclusives. It's the perfect time to indulge in your beauty must-haves, or do some holiday shopping in July. As always, there are amazing brands participating across fragrance and candles, cosmetics, bath & body, men's grooming and more.

Don't forget that at Nordstrom Beauty you can always try it before you buy it! They offer samples of almost any beauty product in store. Also, I've found the Nordstrom Beauty Stylists to be extremely helpful in answering any questions I have or recommending products across all brands and counters. Nordstrom beauty Stylists are available in-store or by phone at 1.800.7beauty or via live chat.
