Yesterday I had breakfast with Neiman Marcus at the Fashion Square Mall in Scottsdale Arizona. To me, the Neiman Marcus department store is associated with the best of the best when it comes to fashion and beauty. During breakfast I got a sneak peek to the hottest beauty and fashion brands that are available at Neiman Marcus Scottsdale. While all this fun my picture was snapped for Arizona Foothills Magazine together with Katherine Thornhill of sparklefarklediary.

Some of my all time favorite beauty brand and products were mentioned during my breakfast with Neiman Marcus, such as: Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair, Kate Somertville ExfoliKate, Natura Bisse Diamond Cream, cle de peau most-wanted concealer & their gentle balancing lotion,  the super luxurious Beauty by Clinica Ivo Pitanguy Eye Contour Lifting gel…

ORLANE Paris Anti-Aging Body Perfecting Care Slimming Firming, CREED the perfumer, and Tom Ford perfume collections. Neiman Marcus has the hottest shoe collections in town and probably the world and brilliant home decor designer collection, such as: Jay Strongwater and Jonathan Adler. Neiman Marcus definitely satisfies the New Yorker in me. It brings the big city chic to Scottsdale.

Don’t forget to stop by Neiman Marcus Scottsdale for Fashion’s Night Out aka FNO September 8 for some fun fashion and beauty celebrations.

I snapped this pic on my recent trip to San Diego for BlogHer 2011. At the CVS booth I got to sample the NEW NUANCE by Salma Hayek for CVS Mascara & I loved it. I’ve been a Salma Hayek fan for years now. One of the things I relate most about Salma Hayek is the accent, which I also have, and her contagious passion for everything she does.

Also when I used to have dark brown hair in my New York City years people used to say I kinda look like her. Ha! Now with the blonde hair I get Jennifer Aniston. Funny. Anyways, let’s go back to the subject in hand-this mascara adds volume, length, and the pigment is nice and bold. “Precision fibers hug lashes for extra length.”-via www.cvs.com. I can’t wait to try more from Salma Hayek’s new cosmetic line with CVS, NUANCE. I will keep you posted.

See more pics from my San Diego BlogHer 2011 trip!

Got my hair done before my trip to San Diego and I went darker (thanks to the Red Door Spa in Phoenix AZ)…I think I’m starting to like it.

View from my hotel Marriott Marina in San Diego…simply beautiful & weather was perfection.

The beautiful CVS booth.

I sometimes get a serious headache when I travel and when there is too much excitement in my day, ha! The Advil booth was just perfect. I needed this one.

I also got distracted by the beautiful Tempur-Pedic mattress booth my dream bed.
