Last week I attended the most fa-la-la-tastic holiday event hosted by Fashion Show Las Vegas and Nordstrom.

BIG NEWS!  Nordstrom at Fashion Show has just undergone a HUGE store remodel and it’s, well, nothing short of epic.

Myself and 30 Las Vegas Influencers were invited to a festive holiday brunch in Nordstrom’s new chic event space “The Champagne Room” where we received a masters class in holiday gifting, all the details on the new store design, the 411 on make-your-life easier services and the full list of all the exciting new brands Nordstrom now hosts.

After we all spend about 30 minutes taking photos of our food- ’cause that’s how bloggers do it lol- we ate, chatted, sipped our mimosas and bellinis, got a breakdown on the new store services and then received a guided  VIP tour of the remodeled store.

There was so much to see that I’m going to have to space it out into a few blog posts but the thing I am the MOST excited about is the revamped beauty department!

It’s had a full makeover! The beauty department now has 28 new brands including Tom Ford, Fresh, Sisley, Space NK, Le Labo and my FAVORITE  Charlotte Tilbury!

And that’s not all… the beauty department is now also offering Nordstrom exclusive services such a custom foundation mixing at Lancome to get your “perfect’ match and coverage, a brow bar at Anastasia Beverly Hills where you can have your brows done by their experts and their Beauty Concierge program- where experts can help you shop and share tips on all brands.

Tom Ford.  Need I say more.

Known for their luxe innovative scents, Tom Ford beauty delivers a singular vision of modern glamour, an embodiment of 21st century sex appeal, timeless elegance, and superior workmanship.

Insider Tip: Tom Ford’s latest scent “Lost Cherry” is MAGICAL!  It has sold out faster than they can get it on the shelves.  If you see a bottle grab it!

One of my personal favorite brands, FRESH is now at Nordstrom!  yay!

Famous for transforming everyday routines into sensorial rituals that are as indulgent as they are effective. Fresh fuses effective natural ingredients, time-honored rituals, and modern science into a sensorial experience with undeniable results that is completely unique to Fresh.

Insider Tip: If you haven’t tried their Sugar Lip Treatment go get it now!  Thank me later.

Nordstrom added a little Ooh la la to the beauty department.

Prestigious French beauty brand Sisley Paris has been specializing in high-end natural cosmetics and skincare since 1976. A leader in phyto-cosmetology, the company’s top scientists use the finest plant extracts and essential oils to carefully develop a full range of products which target specific areas of concern and deliver undeniable results.

Insider Tip: I am currently obsessed with their Sisleÿa L’Integral Anti-Age Eye and Lip Contour Cream which comes with a limited edition ridoki massage applicator to cool, prep and soothe the area prior to cream application. It basically gives you an instant eye lift!

18 of the new brands are with Space NK.

For those of you not familiar with the brand think of them as the Sephora of the UK. The ultimate destination for beauty discovery – Space NK is home to over 60 stores across the UK and Ireland. Curating a finely honed edit of the most innovative products in the beauty world, including super-charged skincare, cutting-edge cosmetics and game-changing gadgets including brands such as Eve Lom, Laura Mercier, Nars and more.

Nordstrom has brought this little piece of the UK and all it’s brands straight to our door.

Insider Tip: You can find one of the trendiest brands around- Lipstick Queen- in this section.  They made a name for themselves with their transforming lipsticks which look one color but then instantly transform into another: “Frog Prince”  is a bright green which transforms into a fairytale rose shade and Mornin’ Sunshine is a vibrant yellow which once applied becomes a flattering peachy coral.  A super fun gift with a surprise!

I am so excited about this one!  Niche Fragrance brand Le Labo has finally planted their luxe flag in Las Vegas. This cult favorite brand has become a must have simply by word of mouth- the brand has no paid celebrity endorsers and pretty much no marketing to speak of.  All fragrances are unisex and of the HIGHEST quality.

Le Labo literally means “the lab,” and that’s just what their products look like.  Houses in lab-like bottles with typeface labels each product delivers a chic old-world apothecary aesthetic.

One of my favorite features is the scent names. All of Le Labo’s fragrances feature the name of the principal essence, followed by the number of notes that make up the scent’s composition.

Insider TIP: For the PERFECT winter scent try Le Labo’s newest fragrance TONKA 25, it’s an addictive, dark fragrance with woody notes and a subtle hint of sweetness.

To me this is the Motherland. Charlotte Tilbury has been at the top of my beauty must-have’s ever since I first got my hands on their products.

Created by UK celebrity Makeup Artist Charlotte Tilbury.

After 20+ years as a makeup artist, Charlotte Tilbury knows what works. Every tip and trick she’s learned along the way has shaped her makeup and skin care line.  Known for making skin look like the Snapchat “pretty” filter  she introduced the world to the concept of a dry sheet mask and has sold out of her instantly iconic Bar of Gold highlighter more times than I can count. Her eponymous range stars high-performance formulas, daring color palettes and the most exquisite, boudoir-worthy packaging. It’s stylish, decadent and fabulously feminine.

Insider Tip: Her “Magic Away” concealer and Bar of Gold Highlighter and MUST’s!

Starting December 1st Nordstrom has brought back Anastasia Beverly Hills’ brow bar!  Hallelujah!

Set an appointment and your trained Brow Studio expert will reshape and sculpt the perfect brow arch using the Anastasia method.

Each and every Anastasia brow appointment is based on the golden ratio.  It’s all about proportion.  The golden ratio is as follows:

  • Brows begin directly above the middle of the nostrils.
  • The high part of the arch connects the tip of the nose with the middle of the iris.
  • Brows end where the corner of the nostril connects with the outer corner of the eye.

Brow Tip: Memorizing the golden ratio above will come in MAJOR handy when trying to obtain that perfect Anastasia brow at home.

The Beauty Concierge is the ultimate service for those who find the beauty department a bit daunting.

At this centrally located Beauty Concierge destination you can inquire about items for your specific needs with no pressure to purchase. The creation of the Beauty Concierge came after feedback from shoppers who felt overwhelmed by all the choices and needed some no-hassle direction. You can ask questions and benefit from the knowledge of the Beauty Stylists who act as your personal guide through the cosmetics and fragrance department to help find the best beauty products for your needs.

Make sure to stop in and check out the new department and services for yourself!
