Nordstrom Fall Beauty Trend Show X Sara Happ

As we walk into the weekend I'm thinking about  and I can't believe how fast this week is going. We're already at the end of the week. GEEZ TIME! It's been a rough for me because I've been sick among other things but I've been so motivated with my business.  I wanted to bring you all this recap from the week I assisted +Sara Happ Inc.  at the Nordstrom Fall Trend Show Event.

Two weeks before the +Nordstrom  Fall Beauty Trend Show Event, I was contacted by the +Sara Happ Inc.  team to assist Sara at the Nordstrom Trend Show and of course I said "YES"!. As usual I showed up early for 7AM Saturday morning to set up Sara's section. This moment took me back to my time as a visual merchandiser. This was my time to show up and thankfully I brought my computer for guidance on the way the set up was suppose to look.

SPOTLIGHT ON SARA

Sara Happ has been coined #TheLipExpert but other than a lip guru, who is Sara?

Sara is a mom, and a woman who uplifts other women and a beauty enthusiast who firmly believes the world doesn't need more lip stuff: it needs the right stuff. Sara developed a lip scrub line because in 2005 after reading so many articles on exfoliating your lips with a wet wash cloth or toothbrush, she then knew that she needed to make her own lip scrub. With nothing but a mixing bowl, spatula and that desire for a flake free pout, she concocted THE LIP SCRUB!

This past weekend she showcased her lip scrub line and and debuted the new lip scrub. Sara Happ teamed up with the world's first cupcake bakery, SPRINKLES, to bring her favorite flavor to life as a Lip Scrub in the flavor RED VELVET.

This lip scrub eliminates dry, flaky skin leaving lips ridiculously soft and supple. 

It's Vegan, Cruelty Free and sustainable!

She also brought in some of her top lip scrubs including her limited editions as gift sets.

 Sparkling Peach was one of Sara's top favs that was used at the Nordstrom Fall Beauty Event and was loved by the attendees that tried it out. 



This event was really fast pace. What our team thought would be a long day it ended up selling out within a few hours of being on the floor which is incredible because we got to leave around 1pm vs. 7pm. LOOK AT GOD! lol I enjoyed assisting Sara Happ. Probably the easiest thing I had to sell because really her product sells itself so it makes it just as easy. She's a brand for herself and people love her especially the youngsters!

I was able to get some snaps in with my phone. I wish I had my professional camera but because I was working and not in as a blogger I didn't bring it. But I was able to take some photos working behind the scenes.

We had to condense the station because we were selling out fast. 

 

The TEAM!

Thank you so much Sara Happ Inc for having me. One of the best opportunities ever and I will forever cherish this moment that has become a highlight of my life!

VIRTUOUS COSMETICS: ARE YOU A VIRTUOUS WOMAN???

If you are a lipstick junkie then this is something you may want to check out! I am a huge supporter of small businesses especially when they are owned by women. Not just any woman but a VIRTUOUS WOMAN!

Being a virtuous woman is not something to take lightly. A Virtuous woman is someone with morals, values, strength, beauty, and wisdom!
Virtuous Cosmetics was established by God through La'Tonia Nichols. She is a Virtuous Woman because she put God first above all things. And that right there is wisdom!

Virtuous Cosmetics founded by La'Tonia Nichols who is also a makeup artist and founder of L.E.O Beauty created this brand because she believes every woman should be virtuous. La'Tonia doesn't know I'm doing this but she will know now after she reads it. I asked her a series of questions and she went in. LOL, I didn't tell her I was interviewing her for my blog on the spot.

MEET LA'TONIA!

Tell Us A Little About Yourself.
I am first a Christian, a wife of 16 blessed years to Rev. Corey Nichols, I am a mother to two beautiful daughters and as a mother, I teach them the importance of putting christ first but not just that but accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior and to live for him and to know him. 

"YES!!!! I am an MUA. And to some, that means Make-Up Artist. But to me, I am a Mother Understanding her Assignment. "

Did you always want to be a makeup artist or is it something you fell into?
I didn't choose to be an MUA, it chose me. I don't call this my job or career, it's my passion and my ministry. Because I believe in empowering women and letting them know that they are beautiful with or without makeup.
I am motivated and determined to take my business to the top by having God as GPS. My passion is to help others know that you can Look a Feel Beautiful inside and out. Also to show that BEAUTY does not take long to apply when you already have the tools to enhance what God has blessed you with. I am a compassionate individual that takes the time to give back with my talents when they opportunity presents itself.


What Inspired You To Start Virtuous Cosmetics?
All of the questions you asked I do not have to think about what to say because just like LEO Beauty is my baby...Virtuous Cosmetics too is my baby!!! WOW... when I say God has given me the best gift anyone could ask for...TWINS! Because they work so well together. I didn't think I could do this but God said, "YES YOU WILL!" He gave me the name at 2:45am on Tuesday morning. While I was sleep He showed me how I felt while applying makeup on others and how great it makes me feel because they feel great. I am a true Christian and a believer and follower in and of Christ. I do not do anything without putting Him first. Why? Because I have found out the hard way...LOL.


Why did you come up with the name Virtuous Cosmetics?
When you say and think of the word "Virtuous" it just make you feel some type of way...(wonderful, cheerful, sexy, powerful, that you are important, that you can do anything, that you are everything, that you are virtuous!!!) Let no unclean thing touch your virtuous Lips or come from your virtuous lips because you are like no other. You have been chosen!


What do you want every woman to experience and take away from your brand and how do you want them to feel when wearing your lipsticks?

I want every woman to know and feel chosen! Knowing that you have been called to walk your walk and to strive for success in your path because you are that God-Fearing woman that God has chosen and that you are worth it. You deserve the best! And that is Virtuous Cosmetics. Virtuous Cosmetics has a long lasting formula fit to fulfill your needs. It gives you that pigment, protection,and the moisture you need. SPF is part of 

Do you plan on expanding Virtuous Cosmetics full-service salon?

I plan on putting into works as we speak. The path that God has shown me for Virtuous Cosmetics and that is bigger and better! So watch out ladies Because the lipstick you have been waiting on is FINALLY HERE!
