Summer Beauty Finds at Bluemercury {$25 Giftcard Giveaway Closed}

I recently had the chance to visit the newest Bluemercury makeup | skincare | spa to hit the NYC Metro Area, in Montclair, New Jersey. And I was instantly smitten.

Located just about a block off of bustling Bloomfield Avenue, this pristine oasis of beauty is chock full of some of my go-to brands, from Bobbi Brown and Trish McEvoy to NARS and bliss.

I like to think I know what I’m doing when it comes to makeup – but lend me the ear of a stylist and I’ll chat incessantly, looking for tips, tricks, and above all – THEIR favorite products.

Side note: this was actually one of my favorite parts of my job in the fashion industry – and one I miss dearly! – working on photo shoots with some of the top beauty professionals in the biz was such a treat.

Fortunately, connecting with talented makeup artists is still within reach for this happy little lifestyle blogger. So without further pause, I’m happy to share with you some Tips & Top Summer Beauty Picks from Bluemercury Montclair Makeup Artist + Store Manager, Anne Dalessandro, for a look that sizzles.

And be sure to keep reading for the $25 Bluemercury Giftcard Giveaway (Anne would LOVE for you to visit her at the Montclair store!)

Summer Beauty Finds from Anne Dalessandro, Bluemercury:

Coral is HUGE going into August-September.  It pairs beautifully with bronzy summer skin and also looks great as tans fade into fall.  I love:

• Trish McEvoy Flawless Lipcolor (coral shimmer), $28.50
• Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge For Lips And Cheeks (calypso coral), $26
• Laura Mercier Bonne Mine Stick Face Colour (coral glow), $32
• Deborah Lippmann Don’t Stop Believin’ Creme Nail Polish, $18

 

If you’re looking for something quick to throw on and head to the beach/pool, Bobbi Brown Perfectly Defined Gel Eyeliner, $24 is phenomenal.  It’s a gel-based pencil that delivers richly pigmented color and precision lining with sweat and humidity-resistant 12-hour wear.

 

For skincare, M-61 Power Glow Peel, $28 is always a top-seller.  It’s a quick glycolic and salicylic acid exfoliating peel with vitamin K, bilberry and chamomile.  100% paraben-free, 100% synthetic fragrance-free.
