Diane Noorlander: New Beauty TEST TUBE

I am having so much fun discovering some really amazing beauty brands and stores stateside! There are endless amounts of new brands and products available in USA and select few make the cut here on my blog and I get so excited when I find those really special ones. Earlier this week I was invited to visit New Beauty at the Fred Segal Store in Santa Monica to make my very own Test Tube!!

I HAD AN ABSOLUTE BALL.. The girls couldn't get me out :)

Before I spill what I chose for my beauty TestTube.. Let me just say if you havent been to New Beauty in Fred Segal! IT IS A MUST SEE! One of the best beauty stores I have ever visited.

I saw brands I new and loved!

and brands to discover..

But the most amazing thing about this store that makes it so unique and such a fun shopping experience is.. Not only were the staff so wonderful and informed! They have these amazing walls where they gather products from all different brands that they sell and help you shop for a specific concern!

Yes you may go in for a particular product.. but why not see what else could potentially be right for you. Compare ingredients, prices. Most perfect place for gift shopping too! Lots of wonderful treats in here.

This is one example.. they have grouped products for anyone concerned with Ageing! So rather then limiting yourself to one brand.. here they introduce you to many brands so that you find the perfect product that will be best fit for you and your concern.

Again another brilliant wall.. Find the right Mascara! Compare your mascaras on offer to find the right one without running from counter to counter.. store to store! Just so clever.

My TEST TUBE...

So for peeps that don't know.. Test Tube goes for $29.95 plus postage. You subscribe and receive every 3 months a mixture of FULL size and sampling size products to enjoy and a new/current edition of 'New Beauty' Mag too. Must I add.. very generous sampling sizes are given.. I was really pleased!

Customise your own like I did.. Simple steps. Pick up a Test Tube, fill with products, grab a New Beauty Mag and be on your merry way!
