I recently attended the CEW Beauty Bazaar in NYC. It’s essentially an opportunity to see all of the finalists of their annual Beauty Awards. Towards the end of the event, I found myself at the Nordstrom Beauty booth and got to chatting with the woman manning it. The event was winding down, so we really got talking. She asked me what my favorite beauty products were at Nordstrom and then what I would buy if I had a $500 gift card.
