Neiman Marcus Beauty Event 2013 - My trip

It was short, sweet and to-the-point.

I arrived at Neiman 30 minutes after it was opened then headed straight to eh Tom Ford counter. Don't wonder why. You know why. I've wanted his Illuminating Primer and Traceless Foundation Stick since last year. Both came home with me :D and reviews are on their way.
Of course, I couldn't miss playing with all of Tom Ford new lip color shines that are released for Spring 2013 and now become part of the permanent line. The quality is superb, moisturizing, pigmented for such sheer and shine formula and all the colors are lovely. You have many options to choose from nude to soft coral, pinks to bright, bold pink orange to bright orange red. While I ADORE the texture, I'm not feeling any colors, or maybe the summer collection promo picture promises more. Skipped them for now.

(Sorry for the crappy quality. I was rushing to get the heck out of Houston Galleria before the weekend traffic flushed in:()
Neiman gave me the tote (I pick orange!) and samples. Tom Ford counter offers beauty samples and a deluxe sample of Illuminating Primer (with a pump! Isn't it handy?) if you purchase the full-size primer itself.

Then, I swung by Le Metier de Beaute. Their SA wasn't there at the time. Odd eh? Someone at Trish McIvoy matched Classic Flawless foundation for me. She did an apt job in matching foundation. I'll test the sample in the next week and report soon.

That was it.

Have you picked up anything during this event? Did you discovered any extraordinaries?

The event runs from 02/21 through 03/03/2013.

  3. Aye!!! Too many GWP opportunities!!! LOL!! No I didn't participate in this one because I did Barneys and just did the one for Lola's subscribers. That tote looks really cute though! I seriously can't wait to see what you think of the TF foundation stick...if you love it I think that'll be my next foundation splurge!!

    1. I knoowww!!! Staying on budget seems like a mission impossible. I was able to resist Barneys. Now Lolo's is killing me aahhh. That tote can contain my upper body. I think I'll use it for grocery shop only. LOL!!

      TF foundation stick is really good, not the best texture I've tried but the other aspects are superb. Plus it doesn't oxidize on me and spot-on color match. Hopping to your blog right now.

    1. I'm glad you noticed and you love it ;;) The glossy finish always creates troubles for photographing. The magazine meant to contrast the finish and color. I'm still experiencing...
