INSIDE SCOOP FOR NM/TARGET MAYHEM

Tomorrow marks the much anticipated, unprecedented Neiman Marcus/ Target collaboration~
I posted first when the genius marketing campaign was first announced back in July and in October when they first released the  Holiday Collection of over 50 designer items to be sold simultaneously at both retailers~
                                                                                 
So here's the scoop for tomorrow...and don't even bother to call your Neiman Marcus personal shopper to get your loot.  I already tried and it won't work :))
Neiman Marcus is hiring outside help to man the mayhem with regular employees ringing up purchases.  The stores open at 8am but get their early to receive your wrist band to mark your spot in line!
Location, location, location.....call your Neiman Marcus store that you plan to shop at for the location of the goods.  That way you  won't be searching aimlessly throughout the store.  Just beeline and go!
I happen to know that all 50 items will be located in the same shopping area.  WillowBend NM is setting up in the Men's department, lower level.
So there's the skinny.  Perhaps choosing a not so well known Target might be the answer, or shop online and hope it doesn't crash like the last collaboration Target did with Missoni :)

DID YOU KNOW......

Did you know that BEAUTY BRANDS offers much more than hair care products?
Well, I didn't till I recently toured the Plano location and was bowled over!  A new addition inside the store called "The Studio" has been added inside that features the creme de la creme of makeup and skincare brands.
Not to mention a full service salon and spa complete with in-house massage therapist, making it now your one-stop-shop for all your beauty needs~
I was particularly excited about all the fun gift sets available for the Holidays!  Tons of great value sets from Philosophy, Smashbox, OPI mini nail polish kits, and Stila Lip Gloss box sets just to name a few.  Ideal for stocking stuffers these Too Faced Shadow Bon Bon makeup kits were adorably packaged, the set on the left valued at $147 on sale for only $42!  SCORE!!
Another nice feature is the knowledgeable makeup artists on staff can show you different ways to use the products you purchase before you get them home to try them out.                                                                              

The hair care lines and styling tools that Beauty Brands are known for are all still available making it the perfect mix to find all your go to items.  Since I'm traveling this holiday season, I was shopping for travel sets of all my favorites, including this BEAUTY BRANDS "EXCLUSIVE" CHI PLATINUM FLAT IRON complete with bling travel case~


And the more you buy, the more you're rewarded :))  When signing up for their rewards program, after every $100 you spend on products or after every fifth salon or spa service, you receive a 10% off reward for future visits.

Tis the season.....to send out Holiday Cards!  Oh, did you forget?  Well no worries, because finding the right card that best suits your families style and message just got a whole lot easier!
                                 ERIN CONDREN has the most AMAZING selections~

Not to mention the most adorable stationary and did I mention gift wrap?!?  My favorite is this oh so easy, "That's a Wrap" boxed briefcase set of mix and match gift wrap boxes complete with tissue, stickers, bows and cards.  So easy to assemble and you can show your creative flair with the fun styles.
