I can't believe how fast this year has flown by and now we're here again for Nordstrom Fall Beauty Trend Show 2018 Edition! If you remember I worked with the Sara Happ Team in 2016 for the Nordstrom Fall Beauty Trend Event and OMG was it amazing! The amount of influence she has is amazing. We had a never-ending foot traffic coming to our booth and I'm so excited to work alongside Sara Happ again!

This show is being hosted at of course Nordstrom inside the Houston Galleria where they will be having a Beauty Trend Runway show 8am - 9:30am followed by a pop-up shopping experience with not only Sara Happ but many other brands will be there. 

Following the runway show, we will be doing some complimentary lip facials that will treat, smooth, hydrate, prep, plump and add a pop of color to the lips. Now before I share the products that will be featured at the pop up I want to share a little bit about Who Sara Is!

Be sure to RSVP HERE So I'll know to look for you. And you can receive constant updates on that page. 

Sara Happ, also known as #TheLipExpert is the first person to ever create lip scrubs. But aside from that, she is a mom, A women who uplift other women and she is a beauty enthusiast at heart! Before starting her beauty venture back in 2004 she studied journalism in school and went straight from there into ESPN and she realized that her love for the beauty cosmetics was more important. Sara will probably tell this story at the event but "She was at home one evening searching for a product for her dry lips in 2004 on Google and it was coming up empty. Why? Well because it was non-existent. She said that she got chills and it dawned on her that this was a major gap in the market. She wanted something to cleanse her lips- like a body scrub would do for your body, but for your lips. She then went into her kitchen and began mixing up essential oils, salts and anything she could find that might result in the combo she was looking for. It took her a while but she finally got that perfect concoction. This is where it all started and then she started expanding her brand strategically. #HowSway is that? Learn more about Sara HERE.

So following the beauty trend runway show on the main floor where the counters are we will be doing complimentary lip facials. So what is a lip facial? The lip facial is a series of treatments for the lips that removes, smooths and resurface the skin on the lips leaving it soft & supple. But not only that it helps in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, it hydrates, moisturizes, restores and plumps and keeps the lips defined. This is what lip facials should do and what we will be doing for you at the trend show!

The #PerfectPout In A Box is everything you need to achieve that perfect kissable smooth, soft, hydrated pout.  It comes with The Lip Scrub to exfoliate the lips, The Lip Slip: One Luxe Lip Balm to hydrate the lips & the one of a kind  Sweet Clay Lip Mask to Restore the lips. This kit retails for $62 but you can get Sara Happ Passion Fruit Treatment Set for $60 only through QVC.  But come to the Nordstrom Fall Beauty Trend Show in Houston this Saturday, December 8 you will be able to get the original treatment set only at the show with a gift with purchase which I'll share at the end. you can purchase it here also Sara Happ Perfect Pout In A Box! 

The Coconut Flavor - The Lip Scrub is the most requested flavor to date and is paradise for your pout. This scrub comes in different flavors but the scrub is the most important step because it sweeps away dull, winter-worn lips and preps lips for any lipstick/gloss for a better application.  This scrub is vegan & cruelty-free. The Superstar ingredients to The Lip Scrub are Sugar (gently exfoliates) with nourishing food-grade Grapeseed & Jojoba Oils. These retail for $22

So what's your flavor style? Classic, Fresh or Fun?

CLASSIC - Vanilla Bean, Brown Sugar, 

FRESH - Pink Grapefruit, Sparkling Peach, Coconut*

FUN - Sparking Peach, Sprinkles Red Velvet*, Coconut (*Limited Edition)

The Originally formulated One Luxe Lip Slips also comes in 6 pigmented blue-based shades that give the appearance of whiter teeth. The Lip Slip: One Luxe Gloss hydrates nourishes and compliments any pout on any skin tone. You can wear this alone of course but it also serves as a great topper for your favorite lipstick or you can mix several shades together to customize your color. These babies retail for $24. This has become a part of my skincare because of the benefits it gives to my lips. 

Make your Pout So Pop with Sara Happ Plump & Prime Lip Airbrush This is a lightweight, velvety cream that instantly primes & airbrush lip lines and painlessly plumps lips in one swipe and minimizes texture. The Superstar Ingredients are hyaluronic ultra-filling spheres which naturally moisturizes and fill in line while the irritant-free Maxi-Lip plumps the lips. You can combine this with your favorite matte lip. For better results exfoliate with The Lip Scrub first then smooth the plump & prime onto the lips. This can also be worn alone as well. This miracle in an applicator retails for $28

Cozy up your pout with the limited-edition The Sugar & Shine - Holiday Set that retails for $58 but on Sale for $38. This on the go kit makes it totally convenient for moms and those who love to travel keep their pout in check with ease.  This kit comes with a two NEW lip-smoothing Lip Scrubs in a tube in the flavors Hot Cocoa & Pink Marshmallow. Then top off your pout with the ultra-hydrating One Luxe Whipped Vanilla Lip Gloss, which is the first flavored lip slip gloss. The formula in the tube is a bit oilier then the formula in the original container but that's because it has to be able to squeeze out the tube and personally I prefer it more because of the cold weather. It keeps the pout more hydrated and it tastes DELICIOUS! The Pink Marshmallow is actually my fav but I love to mix them together for the full on hot cocoa effect. 

Wake up to the lips of your dreams with The Dream Slip retailing for $32. This treatment is a night treatment for the lips. Applying nighttime treatments that work while you sleep means less time and effort needed in the morning and also better results. That's why I use this replenishing night lip balm that soothes, repair, restores & nourished lips with a blend of jojoba and sweet almond oil and the calming effects of chamomile. Once you wake up, your lips will be prepped and ready for the day.

GIFT WITH PURCHASE

Earlier in this post, I mentioned the gift with purchase. When you spend $48 before tax you will receive the Sara Happ Makeup bag with her Best Selling Lip Slip Gloss in a Tube. This set is valued at $23 but it will be free with your purchase of $48 and up. 

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?

PHOTOGRAPHY BY: WWW.GDXPHOTO.COM

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!

Faith Haller Collaborates With The Makeup Show Dallas & The Perfect Face

Photography By JW Photography.

Reminiscing on one of my favorite collaborations with The Makeup Show Dallas + The Perfect Face! I will never forget the day. That year I wanted to focus on newer brands that are in Houston that will be featured at The Makeup Show Dallas. I normally always host James Vincent events in Houston who is the Director of Education & Artist Relationships at The Makeup Show Dallas. I had a strong feeling that merging these two together in one room would be the best collaboration I put together. 

When I first met Danielle Doyle the founder & chief of The Perfect Face  it felt like I've known her for years. I wasn't expecting to speak to her when I initially reached out to her company. I don't know what I was expecting but I was a bit optimistic when I contacted them and they were so pleasant. Danielle Doyle is so many things in my eyes! A Southern Belle, that's classy with a beautiful spirit like none other! I'm so glad that we connected and stay connected. 

The Perfect Face is the official artist and brand for MISS TEXAS USA® and MISS TEXAS TEEN USA®, MISS LOUISIANA USA®, MISS NORTH CAROLINA USA®, MISS SOUTH CAROLINA USA®, MISS ALABAMA USA®, MISS MISSISSIPPI USA®, MISS UTAH USA®, AND MISS ARIZONA USA® pageants MISS UNIVERSE & MISS USA.

Learn More Bout Danielle Doyle Here!

The Makeup Show Dallas is all about creating long lasting relationships and gave me the platform to connect with other brands. The event was hosted outside of the headquarters of The Perfect Face in this beautiful sunroom Atrium!

The goal of this event was to introduce James VIncent to the Artist of Houston who was not familiar with who James Vincent was and to collaborate with one of the newer brands that would be not only a vendor at the show but one of the featured educators at the show. 

I talk about James periodically on this blog but even with that I knew a lot of artist were clueless on who James Vincent was and that was the purpose of this collaboration. I knew once he took the floor he would totally warm the hearts of all of the artists in the room. James Vincent is the Director of Education & Artistry for +TheMakeupShowNY , +The Powder Group  and the WWD Beauty Inc Award Winning +Ardency Inn. James has worked with makeup lines and makeup artist at all levels of the industry. James has worked under every genre of the beauty industry for many years such as...Film and theatre, television and celebrity work, editorial and runway work and has done and continues to do training and product development positions for companies such as MAC, Stila, Armani, YSL and Make Up For Ever.

James touched on some points about The Makeup Show Dallas and why artist should invest in their careers and not only that but support the show. The Makeup Show Dallas is the largest pro-driven show geared for professionals who work in the beauty & fashion industry or provide jobs for the beauty & fashion industry.  The Makeup Show Dallas has so much to offer such as:

• EDUCATION - Education is the key to success and in order to be at the top of your game in this industry you must learn from the best. The Makeup Show house the best in the industry. The educators that come out are CEO's of many of the beauty & fashion brands we love today! They've worked on celebrities and clients we dream of working on. They know the business so they're qualified to teach the business. They know what it takes to be successful in this industry because they've been there and still there. 
• COMMUNITY - There is no community like The Makeup Show community. You are surrounded by Beauty & Fashion Professionals & Insiders. What I love about this community is everyone has their own story. Everyone come from different walks but we all have one purpose and that is to learn, grow, unite & strengthen this industry. Either way you're in good company. The Makeup Show is like a family. 
• NETWORK - The Makeup Show make it possible for you to not only network with your fellow peers but the brand execs and CEOS of the brands that you love. Networking is all about building relationships that are meaningful and these are the people that you want to connect & network with because these are the people that will get you these jobs, these are the people that have the connection to take you to point A to point B. These are the people that know the ins & out to the industry. And Also networking with your fellow peers is what The Makeup Show is about. Being Intentional on your goals and who you decide to network with. 
• ARTISTRY - This is the time you want to invest in yourself & refine your skills by taking the exclusive hands-on workshops and seminars. This is the time to invest because you're getting the information you need at a major discount compared to if you were paying for the class outside of The Makeup Show.  You never know what doors that experience can open up for you.
• INSPIRATION - Need a boost of inspiration to get you started on your brand The Makeup Show Dallas is it! From the Education, to the hands-on workshops, seminars, keynote forums, focus series, community & artistry there is Inspiration all around you to push you further in your career! And the atmosphere is just FUN! 

We had a big turn out!

Danielle also talked about The Perfect Face and the seminar she would be teaching at the show which was about makeup for pageants.  She also set up a booth at the collaboration event and gave 10% off for the artists that was there. And we sold tickets for The Makeup Show Dallas.

Overall this collaboration was a success! If it wasn't for The Makeup Show Dallas these opportunities probably wouldn't have existed. 

I'm no public speaker. I left that to Alaysha!

At the end we had a Beauty Mixer where we networked, ate, took pictures and had a little fun.

Shout out to these two ladies Alaysha & Judy! They are the best!

I would like to thank Danielle Doyle for being so easy to talk to and collaborate with! I would like to thank the guys at The Makeup Show Dallas for always keeping me in the forefronts of their minds. And BIG THANKS to Judy & Alaysha who are always there and equally contribute their time. This event right here would not have been what it was if it wasn't for you all!
