So today was my first "real" beauty shopping experience at Nordie's. I really enjoyed it. I got several samples (the new Dior glossy balms- similar to Lancôme Lip Lover) and a La Mer moisturizer. I bought a Chanel Illusion Ombré Shadow, Mac blush in Raizin, YSL lipstick in Rouge in Danger (my first red lippie),and a Mac eye liner in pencil in a dark navy blue. I learned about a free 45 minute LaMer facial on Saturday which I signed up for. The SA said it was "suggested" I purchase a product, but not required. I also found out that the Lancôme counter in the store is doing a Master class in a couple weeks where they will be giving away freebies and teaching techniques I probably don't know yet. it was such a different experience and a ton of fun! I love that you ladies talk about Nordstrom so much! I would have never thought of it! Oh, and I got my mom a Mother's Day gift! She wears EL Beautiful and thanks to Syd I found out about the GWP. My mom doesn't really wear makeup except for powder, so I took all the makeup out, for me, and added a ton of skin care deluxe samples I have. The bag is filled with face washes, eye creams, moisturizers and a couple of lip glosses for her to try. And of course the perfume. It was a good day! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I love Nordstrom - if you're gonna break a no-buy, might as well do it in style. You should try out their (free!) style consult personal shopper service. It's like having someone set up a boutique for you.

Nice! I hate to ask you this, since you're trying to be disciplined, but did you apply for the Nordie's credit card?
We didn't have one for awhile but then one time I needed some bras and this was right before their anniversary sale. We found out that if you're a credit card holder, you get to shop the anniversary sales for up to about a week before people who don't have the credit card. Plus there are rewards (different levels too). What impressed me was that the SA put aside all the bras I wanted so that I was able to get the sales price on them when the sale opened to credit-card holders.
It's easier to get your own stylist and other perks with a credit card. Oh, at second to lowest level, you get up to $100 worth of free tailoring of anything bought there. And there are certain days that are double or triple points if you use your card. Another cool thing is if you get a higher level, you get invited to a special Christmas party (closed to general public) and you get 10x points on that day and there's catered food, etc.
I love Nordie's! They're a 45-60 minute drive for me, which is probably better for my wallet. But free shipping all the time if order online...
Edit to add: I may be wrong about details of the rewards (like when $100 tailoring kicks in). If you Google Nordstrom Fashion Rewards you should find all the info. You have to use the Nordstrom credit card to get the points.

I got the Chanel Illusion Ombre Eyeshadow too. The rainbow looking one and the silver one. I wanted gold bet they were OOS. See if your store participates in Beauty Rewards. It's free. I signed up. You don't need a card. Did you go to the NJ one or the NY one today? I was at the NY event. That's what I forgot to get...Dior lippies! *sucking my teeth*

I'm in Maryland so I went to Towson. I didn't see a rainbow one!!! I have to ask about beauty rewards; I've never heard about it! Thanks for the heads up!
