september 8-17

Every week is beauty week in our household. But Neiman-Marcus launches its Beauty Week on Sept 8. (it runs two days longer than a week, actually). For a mere $85 purchase, the store will give you its signature tote bag – in red, black or beige – with samples of 11 beauty goodies from companies such as La Prarie, La Mer and Orlane. Want more? All other cosmetic counters will offer special freebies with a minimum purchase. And Bobbi Brown Cosmetics will feature its global makeup artist, Michael Tarlowski, who works closely with Brown. He’ll be in the house on the 8th and 9th, but he’s available by appointment only. (The Bobbi Brown team will take appointments for the duration of the promotion.) Minimum purchase for Brown beautification: $125 or three products.
