Korres Discount for Mischo Beauty Readers!

I haven't completed my follow-up post on my Fashion's Night Out experience just yet, but I will tell you all that I was able to stop in the Korres store in Soho that night and fell in love with it! And better yet, Korres has extended a 30% discount to Mischo Beauty readers. You have from now until September 30th to take advantage of this promotion when you visit www.korresusa.com and enter promotion code MISCHO*.

Now just in case you're not aware, all Korres products contain active natural ingredients and are formulated to address every skincare need (my dream come true- and yours too! ). So the answer is "yes" to those of you wondering if there's a product to address your skin's needs!

So far I've tried the following:

- Materia Herba Toning Cleansing Foam
- Jasmine Lip Butter
- Silicone Free Face Primer
- Wild Rose 24-Hour Moisturizer
- Provitamin B5 & Rice Bran Mascara

A must-have for me is the Silicone Free Face Primer, which smooths and evens out the skin and can be worn under foundation or alone, on top of your moisturizer. The texture of the Wild Rose 24-Hour Moisturizer is rich, creamy- very luxurious! Those of you experiencing signs of premature aging and hyperpigmentation issues should definitely check this out!

Mischo Beauty Loves CHANEL Jade and Jade Rose Le Vernis Nail Colour Collection

You all know how much I love CHANEL nail polish, right? Remember this, this and this? Well, if you've reviewed my top picks for Fashion's Night Out then you know that the new Jade nail polish collection will launch next Thursday at the CHANEL boutique in Soho- and yes, I plan to make it my first stop! Not only will you be able to purchase it, before it launches nationwide, but you'll also receive a complimentary mini-manicure.

CHANEL's creative director for makeup, Peter Philips, states "Jade echoes the pistachio tweed and Jade jewelry of the CHANEL autumn-winter 2009/2010 ready-to-wear collection." The limited-edition collection includes Jade and Jade Rose, and will be available at beauty counters, CHANEL boutiques and on www.chanel.com beginning September 11th.

Are you planning to add this to your fall nail polish collection? Do tell!

If you live in or near New York City- or are planning a trip soon, then please save the date for September 10th when over 700 stores (flagships, tiny boutiques, department stores, young designers, mainstream chains and niche luxury shops) will be participating in Fashion's Night Out (FNO). FNO is a global initiative created to celebrate fashion, restore consumer confidence and boost the industry's economy. U.S. and international editions of Vogue are coordinating evening extravaganzas in their respective world fashion capitals.
