It’s the most wonderful time of the year…time for the Nordstrom Spring Beauty Trend Show! Early Saturday morning, Jules and I met up with a couple of friends at the Bellevue Nordstrom, excited to hear experts from top beauty brands dish about the hottest trends for spring. (We were also excited to win some free swag in one of the many raffles, but alas, luck was not on our side…)
The event began with a runway show featuring the latest looks for spring; we saw presentations from Tom Ford, NARS, Clarisonic, M.A.C., SK-II, Smashbox, Kiehl’s, and many more. Two of the guest speakers headlining the show were skincare guru Kate Somerville and Julep founder & CEO Jane Park. We heard that this year’s Spring Trend Show was the biggest event ever hosted at any Nordstrom store!

After the runway show, we headed downstairs for complimentary Clarisonic facials, makeovers at the NARS counter, and manicures from the talented nail artists at Julep.

The indisputable highlight of the event was meeting Jane Park, who happily posed for pictures with our group and spent several minutes with us gushing about favorite lipsticks and nail colors. As a hugely successful female entrepreneur and CEO of a beauty company that I adore, she’s a major role model for me. It was such a thrill to meet her in person; they say it’s risky to meet your idols, but Jane was so sweet and down to earth. She seemed just as excited to be there as we were!
Us with Jane!!
As always, the Nordstrom Beauty Trend Show was totally worth the 6 am wake up call (despite our lack of winning raffle tickets). We had a fabulous time and I’m already looking forward to the fall show!

Aw thank you Karen!! A marvelous time was had by all. Makeup, manicures, good friends and free coffee…what more could a beauty-loving gal ask for? ❤
Glad to hear it huni 🙂 Xo
What a fun day! I missed it this year but maybe next time. 🙂
Ironically, I’ve never attended the Nordstrom Beauty Trend show. You ladies look like you had a lot of fun. I love the Kate Somerville line and use it daily. I would have enjoyed hearing both speakers. I really love this post, great photos too!
P.S. Jules is rockin that red lipstick. 😃
