The Neiman Marcus Beauty Event for fall 2015 is here! I absolutely adore the Neiman Marcus Beauty Event. Not only is it the perfect time to pick up everything you need in the beauty department for fall, there are fabulous “gifts with purchases” as well! Love that!

The “gift with purchases” are a high incentive when I need to stock up on beauty products. The main gift bag offers a cute little tote bag which can be used for the beach, or casual days. Inside, there are samples of hot new beauty products; which is a great way to “try before you buy.”

The best type of “gift with purchases” are from the individual beauty brands. Often times they are worth quite a bit of money. The gifts are usually full size, or TSA approved travel sizes; which is ideal for plane travel. All my travel size beauty products are from the Neiman Marcus Beauty Event!

I plan on replenishing my skin care during the Neiman Marcus Beauty Event. My day cream, neck cream, and night cream, are all part of the beauty event! I may also add some new eye shadow for the fall season 🙂

When shopping for fall makeup colors, look for dark nail polishes, or shades of blue. Lipstick has brown undertones, or comes in burgundy hues. Eyes are being shown in shades of blue or shades of brown. Brown or blue mascara is also on trend for fall! Look for cool tones when it comes to blush.

Fragrances for fall 2015 are ideal in medium strength. Someone sitting next to you should smell how fabulous you really are; but you should not be leaving a trail behind as walk by. Look for warm woods, and sweet florals.

Here are my fall picks, and classic picks, from the Neiman Marcus Beauty Event:

LaVanila Vanilla Grapefruit EDP review

lavanilla vanilla grapefruit edp reviewPictured: c/o LaVanila Vanilla Grapefruit eau de parfum

One of my favorite fragrance notes is vanilla. So, when I first heard of LaVanila fragrances, I immediately purchased and reviewed their beautiful Vanilla Coconut fragrance for summer. After falling in love with Vanilla Coconut, I was hooked on the entire collection and had to try LaVanila Vanilla Grapefruit!

Vanilla Grapefruit is my second fragrance from the LaVanila collection. It has a beautiful fruity gourmand scent which is both refreshingly crisp, and warm. Love that!

LaVanila Vanilla Grapefruit eau de parfum offers a fruity gourmand combination of fragrance notes including Pink Grapefruit, Lime, Bergamot, Orange, Cedarwood, and Madagascar Vanilla.

This beautiful fragrance offers a warm base of Madagascar Vanilla which offers complex fruit layers on an unique blend of pure essential oils. LaVanila is one of the world’s first healthy fragrances; infusing natural technology from organic sugar cane alcohol; and skin-saving botanicals and antioxidants for a modern twist on the classic art of perfumery. Love!

I love the idea of natural perfume. Not only is the scent pure, real, and not from a lab, it does not leave potentially harmful chemicals on your skin which could be absorbed into your system.

LaVanila Vanilla Grapefruit edp is long lasting. The fragrance started off with a fruity zing laced in vanilla. As the day wore on, the vanilla lay softly in the background as different fruit notes cycled through detection. At the end of the day, there was a slight fruit scent laced in a woody vanilla base. Perfect fragrance experience for any weather; warm or cold. Love that!

LaVanila Vanilla Grapefruit edp rates five out of five stars!

LaVanila has a wide range of fragrance products which carry it’s fragrances; complimenting the eau de parfum collection. The collection includes deodorant, roller balls, and body butter.

LaVanilla’s Vanilla Grapefruit edp can be found online here. To read my review of LaVanilla’s Vanilla Coconut eau de parfum, please click here.

Chanel Vibrato nail polish for fall 2015 review

Chanel Vibrato is a beautiful new blue hue from Chanel’s late fall 2015 beauty collection; Blue Rythm de Chanel. This fabulous collection features two blue nail polishes, a blue eye quad, blue mascara, and complementing products which aid in creating a smokey eye look. Love that!

Since blue is my favorite color, I was thrilled to find out this collection would arrive in late fall. The two nail polish hues are a-ma-zing! Chanel Vibrato nail polish is a bright, blue hue which is roughly two shades darker than cobalt. It is a fabulous way to brighten up a dark, fall ensemble.

I tested out Chanel Vibrato nail polish with one base coat, two coats of color, and one top coat. Chanel Vibrato is a cream nail polish. It applied evenly and streak free. Perfection.

Chanel Vibrato nail polish lasted a full eight days before I needed to remove it due to nail growth. I would also like to credit this fabulous top coat for making the nail polish long lasting, shiny, and perfect.

The bright blue hue on Chanel Vibrato is a great way to add a little color to your fall wardrobe. Fall 2015 has a lot of dark hues, and traditional autumn hues.

Fall’s mix of browns, blacks, dark green, and dark reds, can fade into the background. With Chanel Vibrato nail polish, an outfit is given a little pop of color which makes the whole ensemble complete and beautiful.

I cannot wait to wear Chanel Vibrato nail polish now, and into fall. It is a beautiful blue color, and easy to wear on a daily basis. Love that!

The Blue Rythm de Chanel beauty collection for fall 2015 is limited edition and only available online here, and here.

Stat tuned! I will be reviewing Chanel Fortissimo nail polish from the Blue Rythm de Chanel beauty collection for late fall 2015 next week!
