What to my wondering eyes should appear right on my doorstep the other day? My March Vogue, Elle, InStyle and Cosmo (BEST DAY EVER). So many great reads, so little time!

The changing of the seasons is one of my favorite times: putting away our winter wardrobes and layering up for spring with loads of color. I can’t help but think a new wardrobe will need new makeup to go with it—so what’s a girl to do?

Trust me when I say that this is something you don’t want to miss.  We gather what we learned behind the scenes at New York Fashion Week—including all the insider tips and the final runway looks—and we bring it all to you in these fun and fantastic beauty-packed events.

Over the next few months, you’ll have the opportunity to learn from industry experts during one of our 32 shows and/or by attending one of our Pretty Party events hosted in 91 of our stores. Really, we want to make sure you don’t miss this!

I’ve gone ahead and started your spring checklist for you: Radiant skin. Check. Coral blush. Check. Pink, berry-stained lips. Check. Bold brows. Check. Where to learn how to achieve all of this and more? Nordstrom Beauty Trend Events. Double check!

How to: The Perfect Red Lip

There’s nothing new about a red lip; it’s like the little black dress of beauty—classic and always in style. But how do you find the perfect shade when there are so many to choose from? Discover how with a little help from Tawni, one of our Beauty Directors, as she shares a few simple tips for luscious red lips.

“The fragrance is called Fame. It must be black. It must be enticing. You must want to lick and touch and feel it, but the look of it must terrify you.” –Lady Gaga, in an excerpt from the upcoming September issue of  Vogue

We don’t know about being terrified–we’re too excited to announce that Lady Gaga’s first fragrance, Fame, is now available for pre-order. With layers of the dark, sensual and feminine (like notes of belladonna, apricot and jasmine), this eau de parfum by Haus Laboratories has just enough rebellious attitude for anyone with a little edge—whether or not you count yourself as one of Gaga’s Little Monsters.

Let’s take a trip to Paris with model Constance Jablonski and Estée Lauder Creative Makeup Director Tom Pecheux: A nighttime journey through the City of Light reveals how the world’s most romantic capital inspired the sultry shades of the Pure Color Nail Lacquer Collection. Enchanté!

What’s your favorite shade?

We l.o.v.e when something that can seem complicated—like skincare—is made totally simple. That’s why we’re smitten with the Lancer Dermatology line by Dr. Harold Lancer, M.D.

“Rethink the method to beautiful, healthy skin.”—Dr. Harold Lancer
