Nordstrom Spring Beauty Trends

                                Cheri Botiz (Nordstrom National Beauty & Fragrance Director)


Hey guys, It's the first official day of Spring, although if you're in NYC, you really can't tell. The weather is kind of crappy today. But anyway, one of the reasons I love Spring, besides the warmer weather, is because of the new spring makeup and beauty trends. Spring makeup and beauty trends are always so much brighter than Winter! It just makes me happy!  Nordstrom recently invited Beautylogic to their Spring Beauty Trends event. We got to sit with some of the biggest names in beauty from Cheri Botiz (Nordstrom National Beauty & Fragrance Director), Ricky Wilson (Celebrity makeup artist for Dior),  Rick DiCecca (Estée Lauder Global Makeup Stylist),  Deborah Lippmann (Celebrity Manicurist and Creator of Deborah Lippman Nails) and Jerry Johnson (Laura Mercier Celebrity Makeup Artist). We were also introduced to new programs that will only be available at Nordstrom. First let's get to the spring Beauty Trends. For the spring, you'll find:

1) Bright Lips-We're talking fiery reds, hot pinks, bright corals, make those lips POP!

Ricky Wilson said Dior is launching their newest lipsticks Dior Addict which are  44 new  bright not all light shades. He says they are creamy, and stay on really well. His favorite color in the collection is called Fashion which is a watermelon color. Jerry Johnson of  Laura Mercier  says that they make a product called stick glosses which is a combination of lip balm, lip gloss, and lip color all in one. He says it wears like a  lipstick but shines like a gloss so very  bright reds will look a little softer. His favorite shade is Poppy apparently this is Paris Hilton's favorite too. So if you're not really into lipstick, this may me a good alternative.  Ricky Wilson also added if wearing lipstick, make sure you do your lips twice a day. Don't just apply lipstick once a day and think it's supposed to look fabulous for the whole day, it won't. Reapply!



2) Iridescent Eyes. It's all about iridescent metallic eyes this season. Jerry Johnson of Laura Mercier says that every woman no matter what age can wear iridescent.  Ricky Wilson says anything in moderation is OK. Balancing your textures is going to give you the best look. Don't use all mattes.It will makes you look like a desert.

3) Bold Nails! Deborah Lippman who did Anne Hathaway's nails during the Oscars, and Lady Gaga's nails for her new video, says it's all about glitter and bold colors. She loves glitter. For the spring, she's releasing a new color called Yellow Brick Road. It's a yellow with a jelly finish, not opaque, not quite sheer. Her other colors for spring are Naked, a nude color, and Glitter In The Air,  which is a sheer blue, with pink and silver lilac glitter in it. Also, Girls Just Want to Have Fun is her new coral color,  and I Know What Boys Like, is a  slightly edgier blue, very creamy, very rich periwinkle.

4)Bright Fresh scents-  Fresh fruity floral with musk undertones for spring seasons. My personal fave was Marc Jacobs Daisy.

Last but not least, exclusive to Nordstrom is the new Clarisonic Mia in tangerine. You girls know how I feel about my Clarisonic. If it was a choice between Mr. Milly and a Clarisonic Mia on a deserted island, I might have to think about that one for a few moments. lol, J/k. But I do love my Clarisonic Mia and I'm loving the new spring tangerine color exclusively at Nordstroms.

What are your thoughts on these spring trends?

Will you be bold, and do a bright lip?

Do you love that new Clarisonic Mia?
