Beauty Sale At Neiman Marcus - 20% off!

{ Via Sunny Gu }

Surprise! Coming to you on a Monday with a special post. This girl's playground has always been the beauty aisles at Neiman Marcus on Michigan Avenue. I am like a kid in a candy store there. Shopping beauty online is also fun, and I do it often. Neiman's has upped the fun factor by offering 20% off most of their beauty and fragrance products.  This special sale runs through October 24th. I say it is time to stock up or try something new. With free shipping and returns, what's to lose?  Here's a glam glance at some of the Best in Beauty at Neiman Marcus!

Over 13 of their products are award winners. Bigger, better, full-on glamorous hair. The Dry Texturizing Spray has been something I have wanted to try. This invisible dry hair spay builds in incredible volume and sexy texture. Patented polymers absorb oil at the roots. I know someone that uses it, and her hair is
 always lovely!

Summer Smiles & The Right Lip Color

I was greeted with a great big smile by "Mr. Shop This" yesterday. He announced that it was National Smile Power day. That's all I needed for today's inspiration-lipstick! The temps say that Summer is finally here. It's time to switch out your beauty routine. The Spring/Summer runway makeup looks were everything but shy. Deep hues, rich reds and pinks that pop were featured. After spending a day in the makeup aisles on line, here are the shades I loved best.

HERE: 12 Of Summer's Best Shades

Brighter than pale, this pink pops! I love the name - Be Silly. It's from MAC'S new Flamingo Park Collection.

Stila Beach Lips
Here's the secret to the perfect beachy nude as created for designer Trina Turk: Mix Stila's Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick in Caramello with Grapefruit Lipglaze. Together they create my perfect shade of nude!
Stila Cosmetics

What's juicier than Summer melon?  Clinique's Pop Glaze Collection offers a tutti frutti palette that's so fun for warm weather. This color is Melon Drop Pop.      

M.A.C. Versicolour Stain
Infused with emollient oils and a creamy lightweight texture, this lip color will never crack or peel. It's the perfect fusion of of gloss and stain. Every color is bright and right for Summer. See the hot hues at
Nordstrom 

I'm not much of a drugstore makeup devotee. The packaging usually is not very pretty, and super hard to get into. Milani Lipcolor is the exception. The gold trimmed case looks a bit upscale and the summery shades are lovely.

Amore Matte Lip Crème in Cherish  

Nars Lip Covers

I haven't tried these yet, as they are new for Spring and just a limited edition of colors. Reviews say that these stylish shades deliver saturated liquid color. Love the packaging!
Nars  

Tom Ford Soleil Collection

From Tom Ford's latest beauty collection. I so love the lips on this beauty. I believe it is the shade of Scandola. 

Neiman Marcus

Laura Geller Luscious Liquid Lipstick
Infused with Vitamin E, this liquid color dries to a semi matte finish. Not shown is the prettiest peach called Peach Butter Cream.

Dior Addict's Milky Tint Nourishing Fluid Wet Effect in Milky Pop. The perfect pink/orange blend for a pout that pops! See it at

Summer Lip Balms 
If you aren't a lipstick girl, consider a lip balm. Sephora has a great variety to choose from. They hydrate, add a light and sheer color, and keep you sun safe.
Sephora 

Lancome Juicy Shakers

Do you remember Lip Smackers? Here's your grown up version in a pretend cocktail shaker. Now, how fun is that? These are new from Lancome and available in 20 pretty shades, each with its' own flavor. "Mix the pigment-infused bi-phase lip oil by shaking and then dab on the moisture-rich formula with the cute little cushion applicator."
