Beauty and Fashion Faves at The Shops at Merrick Park
Montserrat’s favorite picks
Christian Dior Beauté:
Located at Level 1 inside Neiman Marcus; Christian Dior is the timeless French House of Beauty; choosing the right foundation, brushes and highlighters to enhance is not an easy task so we got expert advice from Yolanda Ayala who kindly guided us in the search for the perfect tones; loved the Dior Show in 2 steps: maximizer and dramatic mascara. Another favorite is the Forever foundation with 35 SPF and shine control; this makeup feels great on the skin leaving a sun kissed look.
For the perfect eyebrows I recommend the Dior Show brow styler, with a few touches following the arch of the eye brows to create a natural and filled look.
Dolce & Gabbana : The Sicilian Bronzer – Limited Edition
When I first saw this beautiful bronzer I said: “I must have it” and I did, thanks again to Yolanda who made it happen. The limited edition “Sicilian carretto” design on this beautiful coffret it’s a keeper.
The Sicilian bronzer will give you that natural glow needed to complete your makeup. I tried the Dolce Matte lipstick in Flirt; a long lasting color that can stay for hours.
L’Occitane en Provence:
Located on Level 2 at the Shops at Merrick Park; I became a big fan of L’Occitane and the Divine Collection; creams and serums made with essential oils extracted from the “Immortelle flowers” everlastings, plants in the family Asteraceae that grow in the wild island of Corsica and can live forever.
Try also the restorative hand creams and lotions made with original resources from the South of France; almond, lavender, roses and get all the steps to make your own spa indulgence at home.
Did I mention L’Occitane gives back? Not only a promise to the environment, all organic made, never tested on animals but also a support to charities all over the world.
Lilly Pulitzer:
When entering the Lilly Pulitzer store at Merrick Park we can’t be more happy; because Lilly’s designs are just all about a Floridian dream lifestyle, a scape to the tropics.
The iconic prints on the shift dress that made it to our first ladies and socialites closets are here to stay; find one for every occasion at Shops of Merrick Park’s first level.
Bright neons, turquoise hippocamps, pink flamingos, green palm leaves, yellow pineapples and all in between mosaics combined with tassels and charms; Lilly’s artistry is still alive on every dress.
The native of NY who settled in Palm Beach and opened a lemonade stand with her husband never thought how brilliant could be to start her own shift dress business after everyone loved the designs, sooner she sold more dressed than lemonade cups.
When packing for a vacation never miss a statement piece and a Lilly dress, after all… life is better on the beach.
