Stanford Beauty Brunch fall 2024

Stanford Shopping Center hosted a fabulous beauty brunch over the weekend for local bloggers such as myself. This beautiful event included a delicious catered meal from Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar near Bloomingdale’s. There was also chocolate from Laderach Chocolatier Suisse which was equally delicious. Yum!

The event was intimate with roughly seven shops from Stanford Shopping Center showcasing beauty products and two tables of local bloggers. It was so much fun to meet new local bloggers as well as speak to people in person who I normally only interact with on social media. I love a good party!!

In addition to yummy food and being social, we were able to check out some new and existing beauty products from our favorite shops at Stanford Shopping Center. I fell in love with the Guerlain perfume from Neiman Marcus. I’m trying to decide if I would like to purchase the “Patchouli Paris” or the “Feve Gourmande” as my fall season fragrance. They are both so pretty!

You know me, I love Chanel beauty! Bloomingdale’s showcased their Chanel N 1 collection which includes a must-have mist. I definitely feel like I need to add this line to my beauty routine. Love!

If you have been following along, you know I also love Estee Lauder products. My travel beauty bag is filled with skin care from Estee Lauder because their products are perfect for reviving my skin when I travel. They have new night cream we can use in conjunction with their Advanced Night Repair line. I am obsessed!

Sephora at Stanford Shopping Center showcased skin care from Drunk Elephant which is vegan and improves skin’s firmness. I definitely want to test out their products.

Nordstrom showcased products from Bobbie Brown and I discovered they have an amazing vitamin enriched face base primer which is perfect for my GenX skin. I am definitely adding this to my morning skin care routine. Love it!

Lastly, Dry Bar was also showcasing their services. They are the perfect one-stop-shop for a blowout when you have a special occasions, big event, or just want fabulous hair for the day. Love that!

Fall 2024 nail polish trends

The fall 2024 nail polish collections are here! This means we have new trends in nail polish colors for the autumn season. Love!

This fall season, we are seeing a mix of color types for nail polish. The biggest trend seems to be the iridescent nail polish trend. Iridescent nail polish offers a clean and clear nail polish with an iridescent sheen, giving it an interesting look while keeping the nails neutral and light. This is good news for anyone working in a conservative work environment. You can wear this sheer, iridescent nail polish and stay under the radar while rocking a hot fall trend. Love that!

In addition to iridescent nail polish, traditional fall colors are hot for the 2024 season. We are seeing rich chocolate browns, traditional berry hues, fall greens, and varying shades of brown and tan. These colors tend to offer a neutral palette for the fall season since they play well with classic autumn hues. I am loving chocolate brown, and that beautiful berry hue pictured above.

While not particularly avant-garde, pastels are the envelope-pushing color family for fall 2024 nail polish. Pastel blue is the hottest light-colored hue, but other pastels are worthy too. Pick your favorite pastel and go with it.

I love all the variations of fall 2024 nail polish colors this autumn season. There really is a color family for everyone! Which fall 2024 nail polish trend is your favorite?

Chanel nail polish summer 2024 review

The summer 2024 Chanel nail polish collection is here! I am so excited! The collection has a fabulous hue for everyone. There is a deep, chocolaty brown for a traditional late-summer into early fall look, there is a spicy olive green with lemon thrown into the mix-and sparkles, and lastly there is a sheer, iridescent hue perfect for barely-there nails, or a conservative work environment. Love!

Chanel Faun nail polish is already my favorite color from the summer 2024 collection. It is a beautiful cream polish which applies evenly in two coats and gives off late summer and autumn vibes. Love it!

For an avant-garde, spicier look, Chanel Reveuse nail polish is a lighter version of olive with a lemony base. It could also be referred to as a sparkling citron. It also sparkles! Love that! This color has FUN written all over it and is perfect for not taking summer too seriously. It’s a party color.

Sometimes we need a barely-there hue, and Chanel Songe D’Ete nail polish fulfills that need. It is a sheer, iridescent hue which sparkles under the light. I am not a skilled enough photographer to capture its beauty. My apologies. That being said, Chanel Songe D’Ete nail polish is perfect for a conservative office environment, formal affairs, and traveling. It’s a great, all-purpose hue with a little bit of fun inside.

So, without further ado, here are the three nail polish colors from Chanel for the summer 2024 season!
