Bond No.9

By Gisel Habibnejad Aventura Mall’s Nordstrom celebrated spring the best way possible with The Nordstrom Spring Beauty Trend Show. They invited Miamians and local beauty lovers to experience their products like never before with exclusive access to presentations featuring highly knowledgeable brand and beauty experts accompanied with demonstrations of the quality of their products. Learning the history behind all these brands and unique products allows customers to get a first hand look at their details in a special and exciting way. The beauty trends discussed for spring ranged from eye shadow colors to lipstick. For lids, an ashy light purple makes any eye color pop, especially with a touch of shimmer. For lips, a red-orange color is perfect for the spring/summer months and also adds chicness to your look. For daytime, this color can work alone with some mascara. For night, heavy eye makeup, such as a smokey eye or winged eye liner, can complete your evening look. Anastasia Beverly Hills Eyebrow brand trusted by the stars, Anastasia Beverly Hills, explained what makes their technique different from others and why they trump all types of eyebrow shaping methods – even threading! First, they measure your ideal eyebrow according to your bone structure and your desired thickness. Then, they draw in how your brows should look. Finally, they wax any excess hairs outside of your new circumference. They offer amazing products such as the Advanced Brow Enhancing Serum to help stimulate growth of hairs in areas where you lack the growth to shape your brow perfectly. The best part is, of course, their type of wax. It really doesn’t hurt or pull on your skin as much as other wax does! Bond No. 9 Bond No. 9 is not just any perfume brand. This luxury boutique brand is only sold in Saks 5th Avenue stores across the country. However, the Nordstrom in Aventura Mall is the only Nordstrom in the Southeast to carry this lovely brand of perfume and cologne. The presentation given by their specialists is outstanding as they take you through the neighborhoods of New York. The founder, Laurice Rahme, broke away from her previous job to create a line of perfumes dedicated to New York. The line consists of scents dedicated to Brooklyn, Manhattan, Andy Warhol Silver Factory, Madison Square Park, and more. Each bottle is beautifully decorated and the scent is inspired by its corresponding city. This week, they are launching the Park Avenue South perfume which is predicted to become a best-seller. Speaking of best-sellers, their most popular are The Scent of Peace for her and their Bond No. 9 Signature fragrance. Amore Pacific Probably one of the best skincare lines out there – Amore Pacific – is all natural and bases most of their products on Green Tea Leaves and Bamboo tree. Their products are fragrance free which allow you to smell the natural ingredients further proving the naturalness found in the creams and facial washes. Not only this, but some of the products’ difference can be seen in their physicality and textures. For instance, most exfoliators contain beads which scratch your face when scrubbed. Their version of an exfoliator, Treatment Enzyme Peel, actually starts off as a powder – yes, powder. When you twist the top of the bottle open, the precise amount of powder is released, then add water to gently exfoliate your face. Because each amount is previously measured precisely, scientists were able to calculate the exact timespan of each bottle which is one year if used once a day. Another unique and appreciated detail attributed to this brand is that scientists do not release a product unless 100% of the 200 testers provide great reviews of the product. Chanel The brand name already speaks for itself. People everywhere (fashionista or not) know this brand and automatically think of top of the line, class, and always in style. This is also true about their beauty products. The brand began its beauty line with a perfume known as Chanel No. 5. Ever since then, it became a staple in the beauty world. Their foundation, Vitalumiere Aqua, mirrors this perfectly as the quality can be seen and felt in its texture. The light formula glides on smoothly leaving the face to appear smooth. This product definitely does not require a filter! For more information, please visit http://www.aventuramall.com/department-stores/item/nordstrom.html
